IN compiling these pages use has been made of a number of valuable,
if partial, collections, such as Leydens Scottish Descn9tive Poems,
Chamberss Songs of Scotland prior to Bums, Patersons Ayrshire
Contempornries of Barns, Walkers Bards of Bon-Accord, and Harpers
Bards of Galloway, to say nothing of the collections of the
eighteenth century itself-Ramsays Evergreen and lea-Table
MsceZZany, Herds CoZZecton, and Johnsons Scots Masical Museunz, c.
Independent biographies, contemporary records, and original
publications by the poets themselves have, however, in most cases
been available. In order to furnish, what has not existed hitherto,
a comprehensive anthology of the eighteenth century poetry of
Scotland, and to render the bead-roll of the poets as complete as
possible, it has been found necessary to extend the work to two
volumes, CONTENTS. PAGE SCOTTISH POETRY OF THE EIGHTEENTHC ENTURY,
