Excerpt from Modern Scottish Poets, Vol. 16: With Biographical and Critical Notices Universal History of Literature. One volume is devoted to a critical account of the lyric poetry of all peoples and countries; but its title to anything like completeness may be estimated from the fact that the only examples cited from the authors of Britain are from Tennyson and Miss Rossetti. He does not appear to know anything of, or to have explored the rich lyric field of Scotland. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
