Book Description
Excerpt from David Gray, and Other Essays, Chiefly on Poetry It is from no desire to appear in a new character that I publish the present volume. The following Essays, indeed, are prose additions and notes to my publications in verse, rather than mere attempts at general criticism, for which, indeed, I have little aptitude. They are my Confession of Faith. I have here briefly touched on several great and magnificent questions immediately affecting the poetic personality: - on the nature and character of the Poet par excellence, on the Student's Vocation, on what is and what is not moral in the Student's Utterance, slightly on religious light and truth; illustrating my matter by such sketches as that of Whitman, and such notes as that on Herrick' Hesperides.

Book Description
This new Edition of the Works of David Gray, containing, it isbelieved, all the maturely finished poems of the author, is a doublememorial. It commemorates "the thin-spun life" of a man of truegenius and rare promise, and the highly cultured judgment and tendersympathies of a critic who has passed away in the vigorous fulness ofhis years.A specimen page of "The Luggie," forwarded with an appreciative letterfrom a friend, reached the author on the day before his death. Hereceived it as "good news"--the fragmentary realization of his ambitiousdreams--and, in the hope that his name might not be wholly forgotten,said he could now enter "without tears" into his rest.Within a week before his removal from amongst us, Mr. Glassford Bellwas engaged in correcting the proofs of the present edition. He hadselected from a mass of MSS. and other material what new pieces hethought worthy of insertion in this enlarged edition--he had rearrangedthe whole and finally revised the greater part of the volume, which itwas his intention to preface with a Memoir and Criticism. He lookedforward to accomplishing this labour of love in a period of retirementfrom more active work which he had proposed to pass in Italy.It has been thought inadvisable to commit to other hands theunexpectedly interrupted task. For a statement of the few andsimple vicissitudes of the Poet's career, as well as a brief butdiscriminating estimate of his rank in our literature, the reader isreferred to the speech--at the close of the volume--delivered by Mr.Bell, nine years ago, on the inauguration of the Monument in the"Auld Aisle" Burying-ground. Of the movement which resulted in thistribute to departed genius, the late Sheriff was one of the most activepromoters. Himself a poet, and a generous patron of all genuine art,the West of Scotland has known no "larger heart" or "kindlier hand."There is something suggestive in the fact that his last effort was tothrow another wreath on the early tomb of David Gray.
