ABSTRACT
These Poems, the author of which is in the humble situation of a ploughman, in the Highlands of Scotland, possess uncommon excellence, whether we consider them as adorned with beautiful sentiments, picturesque imagery, or harmonious versification. They are introduced by a list of subscribers for more than two thousand eight hundred copies, and by a dedication ‘to the noblemen and gentlemen of the Caledonian Hunt,’ which is distinguished by a dignity and spirit worthy of bards in more exalted situations.
