Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poems of the Sempills of Beltrees: Now First Collected, With Notes and Biographical Notices of Their Lives The Sempills of Beltrees were a distinguished family - not more so by the nobility of their descent than their genius and literary acquirements. It is assuredly of rare occurrence that the poetic temperament descends from father to son, or that a taste for letters becomes hereditary in a family; but such was the case with the Sempills of Beltrees. Sir James, the grandfather, Robert, the son, and Francis, the grandson, were all men of letters; and have each left behind them incontrovertible evidence of their attainments. Sir James Sempill no doubt claims the first attention, if not from innate superiority of talent, at all events from seniority, and the high position which he occupied at the court of James the Sixth; though the productions of his son and grandson have enjoyed a degree of popularity denied to the more grave writings of the polemic and courtier.
