For half a century, this poetical narration has
been one of the most popular ditties in Scotland.
Purporting to describe in simple verse the miseries
produced by intemperance, its publication in the
present form cannot, it is hoped, fail to prove gen-
erally acceptable. The author, Hector Macneill,
was born at Bosebank, near Boslin, in 1746, and
he died in Edinburgh in 1818. “Will and Jean”
was first published in 1795.
