Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Lays, Lyrics and Legends How upon the green we gathered, joining in the scenes of mirth, Till the forest far around us echoed with the merry din; With a hundred banners streaming, 'twas the finest scene on earth, And we laughed and ran to riot With affection from Within.

Excerpt from Lays and Legends of Ancient Greece Dear Friend, who by Corstorphine's bosky bower, From the shrill strife of wrangling law remote, Reapest the mellow fruits of quiet thought, Receive in Jeffrey's quaint and ivied tower This little book. Though from the grand parade Of printed verdicts thou hast long been free, The man who loved the Muse still found in Thee A judge to value, and a friend to aid. Thou, the nice student of fine-thoughted Keats, Mayst find my rhymes cast in too rough a mould For thy keen sense, fed with essential sweets: If so, speak free; I'll take thy blame for gold, And count their coin for brass, with false fair phrase Who blow the nattering trump before my Lays.

Excerpt from Lays and Legends: Or Ballads of the New World Dear reader, for so I must needs call thee; for is there not a link of sympathy (invisible though it may be) which binds together, for a moment, an hour, a year - and seldom, but still sometimes or ever, him who writeth and him who readeth?

Excerpt from Lays From Legends and Other Poems We see three rocky islands in the bay. 'Twas here of old the Sirens held their sway; And still, while gazing on the beauteous scene, We see the sister group as in a dream, And fancy that we hear the fatal sound, Tempt us to linger on the enchanted ground. This is the story that traditions tell. The Sirens, gifted with a mystic spell Of fascination, all who sailed along And heard the echoes of their rapturous song About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Lays and Legends of the Forest of Essex Nay good friend, no need, To make excuse, ' I answered, Mine the fault To block the path at eve in Open mead. I crave your pardon, but yon ruined vault And crumbling gate allured me. I too go To Waltham where I sometime stay, so now Relate the tale of Lilian Lane, if so You deem it worth the telling.'

Book Description
Excerpt from Local Lays and Legends: Fantastic and Imaginary As the Reader no doubt will quickly perceive, the contents of this volume were, with the exception of two Prose contributions, written for private perusal only: as to how and why they have been brought before the public, the writer need only remark, that had it not been through those "frequent bursts of merriment" with which the Rhyming portions for the most part have been received, (as he has been assured, from time to time), at the breakfast tables of his too indulgent friends, these at least would have remained in the local obscurity from which they sprung, and thus been lost to that "admiring world," which, according to his hopes, and the authority of the before referred to friends, awaits with impatience their publication and attentive perusal! To be serious, however, the writer feels much hesitation in presenting such an incongruous collection of "odds and ends" (although they may have been enjoyed by a certain easily pleased circle) to the general Public, as he is aware how little there is in such a motley group, likely to be generally appreciated, and, if so, how little likely to be as charitably received, by that devouring and unhappily loo discerning many-headed Monster!
