Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poetical Works The various books, here gathered into one volume, appeared at different periods during the last forty-five years, with the exception of the portion of it which I have called "Ballads from Scottish History," which were the occupation or the amusement of the enforced leisure of old age. Though some of these books went to a third, and one a fourth edition I think, yet latterly they had fallen out of print, and I had quite made up my mind that they had served their turn, and must drop into oblivion like so many other human productions. On the whole, I was also fairly content that they should do so. Some months ago, however, a number of friends approached me with a proposal that they should be collected and republished as they now are. They were gentlemen whose opinion had weight, for they were themselves more or less directly connected with literature. Yet it was with great reluctance that I consented to their request. I had not read any of those little books for a long time, and when I did so, with the view of determining what I ought to do in the matter, I came to the conclusion that they represent fairly well the varying shadows of thought and feeling during the latter part of the nineteenth century, on the whole; but I found so much to blot, and so much to correct, that I shrank from the labour it would involve, even while I felt that there was some fairly good work in them which might possibly repay the labour. At first, therefore, I declined to do as my friends wished. But I need not go into details. They were not to be refused, and undertook to relieve me of all the work that could be done for me.
