Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Battles of Dunbar Prestonpans: And Other Selected Poems (New and Old) This publication might be described as the poetic portion of my last work - "Sheep-Head and Trotters" - with many omissions and additions: and it is issued simply because all the former editions are now out of print. With the exception of the new poems, all the others are selected from what now only remains of the whole poetical produce of my life, for I foolishly destroyed the great bulk of it before finally leaving the farm, in a moment of chagrin, worry, and with a feeling akin to despair. The selected pieces - with some others - were saved through having in the course of time been pasted to the leaves of a large private scrap book, and I am quite willing to leave them, with my later offspring, in the hands of all candid readers or critics, stipulating only that they do read the book before pronouncing judgment upon it The contents of the work have all been carefully revised and are now presented in the best style and guise that I can give them. As I said in my first preface, "I am well aware that the cordial reception most of the pieces met with on their debût in their native locality may not prove to have been an earnest of their ultimate success in the world at large.
