Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems and Lyrics: Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect IT is said that at one time not fewer than seven cities strove for the honour of having been Homer's birth-place. Now, although it is rather unlikely that, say half-a-century hence, as many parishes in auld Caledonia will arise, each claiming me for its son; still, being a man of peace, I am most desirous to prevent the barest possibility of such unseemly squabbles ever taking place on my account, and have resolved to inform my own age, at least, of the spot where I was born. This will serve a double purpose first, as a sort of Preface (to me always a great bore) to this my fourth volume; and second, it will satisfy the curiosity of a. Few patrons, who are longing for information on this very important point. Hear it, then, and be glad, thou winding Glazart, ye towering sheep-clad Hills, thou bonnie Glen, and far-famed Clachan, in whase Auld Kirk I was kibsened. Hear it, I say, all of you, and be glad; for, though not coevals, we are caparishioners. Soberly, however, and not to be tediously exact, I was born in The Blue Raw, Milton of Campsie, Stirlingshire, on the 17th N ovem ber, 1825. My parents belonged to the agricultural class, and, in order to improve their condition, they, along with my bardship, then a shaveling of five years' growth, a younger brother, and a tri e of wee] hain'd gear, removed from Campsie to the north-west quarter of Glasgow, where my worthy father began business as cow feeder, to which he subsequently added that of carter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs and Poems, Chiefly Scottish MY dear sir, - Emboldened by the warm manner in which you were kind enough to express your opinion of the following Songs, I have ventured to publish them; and knowing no one to whom Scottish Song is so much indebted as yourself, I beg respectfully to dedicate them to you.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hame-Spun Lilts, or Poems and Songs, Chiefly Scottish When my primal flights of fancy, under the title Of Rough Castings, were given to the public, I laboured under a feeling, which I suppose is the peculiar privilege of all those who become authors -viz., nervous doubt as to whether their efforts would stand the test of the critic. However in different I may have assumed myself to be to all criticism, still I was not insensible to, nor did I undervalue, the Opinions of those whose literary acquirements are a guarantee Of their sound judgment on such works. I was pleased to note the favourable reviews accorded to Rough Castings, and I now freely admit, that on again mounting my fireside Pegasus, the poor beast (though willing enough at times) received some severe lacerations in her towsie hide from these rowel reviews.
