The Minor Poems of Lyndesay (Classic Reprint) by David Lindsay Pdf
Excerpt from The Minor Poems of Lyndesay Ir was hoped that the present part would complete the Society's edition of the Works of Sir David Lyndesay, containing introductory chapters on their history and bibliography, with the pedigree and peculiarities of the various editions and recensions which appeared before the close of the 1 6th century, and the characteristics of the language in which the poet wrote, as well as the Notes and Glossarial Index to the whole. Owing to the Editor's removal from London, and the heavy and unforeseen demands made upon his time, during the past year, in connection with accepting a Mastership at Mill Hill School, he has not had time to prepare for the press the large mass of materials which he has collecwd in illustration of these subjects. It has therefore been decided to issue at once the Minor Poems, completing the text of Lyndesay, along with a portion of the prefatory matter, consisting of the Essay of Professor Nichol on the History of Scottish Poetry and the place of Lyndesay therein, with the interesting original preface of Henry Charteris to the first edition of the Warkis, Edinburgh, 1568.
