Présentation de l'éditeur
This little volume was selected and arranged by the late Sir Andrew Halliday, K.H., whose lamented death has deprived it of the advantage of being finished by his skilful hand. Perhaps the best preface that can now accompany it, is one or two extracts from Sir Andrew sletters to Mr. Pringle ssisters on the subject. His acquaintance with our brother was of very short duration, but long enough for him to form a very high idea of his character; which, after our brothers death, on the perusal of some of his writings, ripened into an enthusiastic admiration. It might be an indulgence to ourselves, and pleasing to those friends who knew our brother best, and for whom these remains are printed, to quote here some of the no less discerning than flattering expressions regarding him of one whose own character made those expressions peculiarly gratifying to us. But our friends, recalling as we do the sensitive delicacy of that brothers feelings on the least approach to ostentation or display, will rather approve of our merely quoting here Sir Andrew sopinion of his verses. On January 12, 1839, Sir Andrew writes: I have read with more interest than I can express the manuscript and poems of your dear brother.
