Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poems and Songs of William Hamilton of Bangour: Collated With the Ms. Volume of His Poems, and Containing Several Pieces Hitherto Unpublished: With Illustrative Notes, and an Account of the Life of the Author In presenting this New Edition of the Poems and Songs of William Hamilton of Bangour to the Public, some explanation seems due; and yet we feel a difficulty in addressing ourselves to the subject as we should like. Hamilton´s writings are not so rare or obscure as to render the work a matter of deep antiquarian interest; and yet they are by no means so accessible to the general reader as the productions of the author of "The Braes of Yarrow" ought to be. Believing that, widely as the name of Hamilton is known among the admirers of our national lyrics, there could not but exist a strong desire to be better acquainted with the writings of one who was the contemporary and friend of Allan Ramsay, and who bore so distinguished a name among the literary men of his day, we conceived that a new collection of Hamilton´s poetical effusions - moderate in price - might not prove an unacceptable offering to at least a particular circle of readers. And we have been most fortunate in carrying out our views. At all events - whether the task may be well or ill performed - we have no complaint to make as to the lack of materials.
