About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1830.

They cannot be expected to possess either the warmth of fancy, or brilliancy of imagination, which form the attractive charms of the works of Poets of less mature age. They are, however, replete with interest of no ordinary kind, as presenting the opinions, both in seriousness and mirth, of an acute old man, long conversant with courts, and accustomed to the accurate observation of the modes and manners of his times. Full, too, of the finest spirit of benevolence and philanthropy--of a love of justice, and hatred of oppression, these ancient poetical effusions, as well as their virtuous and pious Author, become objects of higher interest than any which mere literary merit can confer. 'They have, ' says an able and industrious Scottish Antiquary, 'considerable merit in every view, 'and show Sir Richard Maitland to have been a good man, as well as a great statesman. The thoughts of so ...
