ΤΟ JAMES HEDDERWICK, ESQ., EDITOR OF THE "GLASGOW CITIZEN." MY DEAR SIR, The thread of the gossamer, 66 a trifle light as air," shows the way of the wind; the evanescent foambell upon the surface of the stream indicates the tendency of the current; and the dedication of my little book may serve to manifest the drift of my feelings towards one whom I regard as a friend and benefactor. Permit me therefore to inscribe it to you, with every sentiment of respect and gratitude. Yours faithfully, HUGH MACDONALD. July, 1854. |
