Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Half-Length Portraits Crossing the border, a friend who is, what I do not pretend to be, a man of letters and no tyro, remarked that in these brief studies I had not inserted any "brither Scots," of whom he opined that from a small nation there were many to be cited who were both great and good. My long absence from the land of the mountain and the flood certainly has not tamed nor daunted my love for her, nor my belief in the virtues of her sons and daughters. But of these I dare say little, lest I should say too much: this I may add, that I yield to none in my love and admiration of her. And I may add my reason for the omission which my friend noted. Burns has a well-known verse, so well known that it were an insult to quote it, anent the "Prentice hand of Nature." That which she loved best, and most fondly endowed she essayed last. And - the inference is palpable - my ´prentice hand having been tried herein, I may, if I succeed, yet say something more worthily of my countrymen.
