Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lays of the Covenanters The length of the Memoir in this volume may seem disproportioned to the size of that part of it from which it derives its name. But the urgency of friends and the abundance of materials placed at my disposal have compelled me to lengthen out considerably what was originally intended to be a mere biographical sketch. Mr. Dodds´s remarkable character and not uneventful life deserve a fuller portraiture than what is here presented; but I hope no great injustice has been done to either of them in the following Memoir, which, though concise, may yet be found sufficiently comprehensive. The Poems in this volume, published in two different magazines more than thirty years ago, were at one time partially revised by their author for publication in a separate form. They were greatly admired by many competent judges when they first appeared, and it is believed they will stand the test of impartial criticism at the present day. Had the author lived to revise them now, they would probably have further benefited by the last touches of his critical hand.
