Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Michael Bruce: Poet of Loch Leven It is with great pleasure that I accede to my friend Mr Mackenzie´s request to write a few lines of a prefatory character to his interesting volume on "Michael Bruce." But as "good wine needs no bush," neither does a good book need any recommendatory or eulogistic statements to advance its sale. While I cannot say I wholly endorse all Mr Mackenzie says, and while some of his theories are to me a little startling, on the whole the book is a valuable contribution to the literature of the controversy as to whether Bruce or Logan wrote the "Ode to the Cuckoo." But that is not the only point Mr Mackenzie goes far to settle. He shows us that Logan owed a good deal more to Bruce´s Mss. than we have been aware of, and although, as I say, Mr Mackenzie´s theories are sometimes a little difficult to accept in toto, on the other hand he has done yeoman service in demonstrating as much as he has the difference in the moral character of the two men.
