But these are times my heart cries out, "Twould fill for one enraptured hour ERRATA. We have endeavoured, by extensive correspondence and research, to enhance the interest and usefulness of this work by aiming to secure accuracy both in the biographical notes and specimen verses. Several errors have, however, crept in. The "indulgent reader" will kindly lay the blame on us, and not on the poet. Amongst the inaccuracies we note the following:-Page 142, second verse, for forward read froward; page 155, 15th line, for professor's read tutor's; page 157 8th line, for phrases read phases; page 160, "The Harvest Lassie," first line, for fu' read round; 161, for hamlit, haimlit; for trilled, thrilled; page 162, in second, fourth, seventh, tenth, and twelfth lines for "ed," read "it,"; rage 190, second stanza, for that wonn'd, read that ance wonn'd, and for ae nicht, read at nicht; page 271, for and myraids, read and the myriads, and in fourth stanza, for stork, read daw; page 268, second line, for his, read the; page 319, for rain, read train; page 330, in "my Dearie O'," fourth line, for we, read me; and in the last verse, for weath, read wealth; page 337, "No More a Child," first verse, for trading read treading. Since the work was in progress we regret to hear of the death, in July last, of the Rev. A. T. M'Lean, page 72. |
