Opis

Excerpt from Scotch Words: The Bapteesement O' the Bairn, and Other Poems Of the following humorous Poems, the first was delivered by the Author at an English social gathering, in lieu of a speech, and by way of enhancing the general entertainment. The second was written with a view to the Penny Readings now so popular throughout the country. Both have been so enthusiastically received at these meetings for the people, wherever they have been delivered, that their publication in a convenient form seems a matter of course. The stories in both have, as paragraphs, gone the round of the newspapers. But there they were mere skeletons. Here they will be found in full organic development and dramatic vitality. The very general quotation of "Scotch Words" by both the American and the British press, is sufficient evidence of its quality. Of the "Bapteesement o' the Bairn," an admirer takes leave to say - what the Author himself never would say, nor, haply (if he could help it), allow here to be said - that nothing in the form of Scottish satirical humour more genuinely graphic and characteristic has appeared since the days of Burns.
