Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scotish Elegaic Verses: With Notes and an Appendix of Illustrative Papers The funeral poems collected in this volume, although deficient in poetical merit, deserve preservation, as adding some, by no means unimportant, additions to our store of historical and biographical information. They have been printed from copies, many of which are unique, preserved either in the Library of the Faculty of Advocates, or obligingly communicated by private individuals. Old Robert Mylne, the indefatigable collector of the last century, has amassed a most extraordinary collection of single leaves, usually denominated broad-sides, principally of a poetical description, and very rich in Epithalamia and Funeral Verses. These, after the dispersion of his valuable library, fell into the hands of George Paton, and at his sale were bought by the late Mr. William Blackwood, in whose book catalogue for 1812, they were offered for sale, but without any price being affixed.
