Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hawick´s Annual Festival: And Other Verses Eighteen years ago, under the title of "Occasional Poems and Verses," I published a selection of poems from the pieces which I had before then written. I now venture to again place before the public a number of poems, many of which 1 have from time to time contributed to newspapers. The verses entitled "Hawick´s Annual Festival," which give the book its name, were written in 1892. At that time I intended to give in versified form a review of the races and games held annually at the CommonHiding. The carrying out of this intention I have had to relinquish, owing to various circumstances, such as want of time and business engagements, and occasional spells of ill-health. In regard to the mode in which the book appears, I have adopted what I think is a somewhat better way of giving explanatory notes. Thus, instead of giving them at the end of the book, as has been the usual custom, I have prefixed such before the verses to which they have reference. A friend lately told me, when I asked him why he had bought a book of poems, that he had bought it for the notes, which he said were valuable and worth more than the verses.
