Gallovidian

"Macmillan tired of this crude style of propulsion, and after long and anxious thought he successfully devised a plan to get rid of it," reported James Johnston of the Glasgow Cycling Club in the Gallovidian magazine of 1899.

Gallovidian, gal-o-vid′yan, adj. belonging to Galloway.—n. a native thereof.

As this Gallovidian gentleman was taking the air on horseback, near his own house, he was suddenly accosted by a little old man, arrayed in green, and mounted upon a white palfrey.

But the most whimsical anecdote connected with the subject of drink, is one traditionary in the south of Scotland, regarding an old Gallovidian lady disclaiming more drink under the following circumstances:--The old generation of Galloway lairds were a primitive and hospitable race, but their conviviality sometimes led to awkward occurrences.

The other instances in which my Gallovidian readers have obliged me by assigning to Airy nothing A local habitation and a name, shall also be sanctioned so far as the Author may be entitled to do so.
