Some of these verses appeared originally in "The Scots Observer," "The National Observer," "Black and White," "The Outlook," "The Spectator," "Chambers' Journal," and other papers; and a number of them were published in volume form in 1900 by Messrs. D. Wyllie and Son, Aberdeen. In the present collection many new poems appear for the first time.
