Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Lageniensis An intention had long been formed to collect, arrange, and revise the following metrical compositions, and to present them in a more complete and desirable shape, than that in which they have hitherto appeared. Ranging for the most part over a series of past years, a careful examination of their different subjects and mode of treatment suggested many additions and improvements to the writer, who could not readily devote that continuous application or always command the time requisite for their satisfactory revision. Procrastination succeeded, while a variety of more pressing occupations and engagements interfered, which deferred the prosecution of a work, such as had been projected. As the necessity for re-casting and re-modelling presented obstacles from the commencement, only partial progress had been made, and divers interruptions were unavoidable. However, these difficulties have now been overcome; and although longer delay might produce better finish and style, yet a more cogent reason urges, to render accessible the materials as already prepared. Frequent application having been made for copies of separately published compositions in this collection, and long since out of print, has caused an effort to hasten their re-issue in the present edition. Especially "The Legend Lays of Ireland" have often been sought for, by collectors and students of our national Folk Lore; but, hitherto, for many years gone by, they could not readily be procured. Moreover, "The Land of Leix" was unattainable in any connected form, until its several parts had been extracted from different periodicals, and placed in that order of Cantos and Stanzas they now occupy.
