Présentation de l'éditeur

Leyden slife at the request of the enterprising Border firm who publish this little volume. Neither Leyden spoetry nor his life should be forgotten. The former still deserves perusal for its healthful and vigorous tone and its genuine touches of Nature. The latter was ennobled by self-sacrifice, and distinguished by an unquenchable thirst after knowledge. Both may still serve to inspire high thought and pure ambition, and help us to preserve, as he did, amid the vicissitudes of life, the unselfish heart, the innocence of youth. For my information, I am chiefly indebted to Sir Walter Scott s Biographical Memoir of the poet, first published in the Edinburgh Annual Register in 1811; to MrR obert White s Supplement to that memoir, published in 1858; and to the Rev. James Morton s Life of Ley den, published along with an edition of his Poetical Remains in 1819. W. W. T. Kelso, July 5, 1875.
