Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Songs of Scotland, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 1 of 4: With an Introduction and Notes, Historical and Critical, and Characters of the Lyric Poets To speak in your presence Scottish song - to hope you will listen while I seek to trace its history, describe its varied character, and, with an honest heart and a liberal mind, examine the productions of the lyrists of our native land, seems something like the man who spoke to the sun concerning the source of light: for who can know so much about lyric lore, or bring so much knowledge and genius to illustrate it, as yourself? In supposing myself seated beside you with free license of speech, I imagine your patience equal at least to my presumption; for I cannot but know that you have nothing to learn, nor can I hope to charm you into an auditor by any extraordinary grace of language, or felicity of remark. Something indeed of what I have to say has been learned from yourself: I am unwilling to be thought so careless a reader and so dull a friend, as to come profitless away from your company or your works.
