Excerpt from The Poetical Works of William Nicholson: With a Memoir The following pieces were chiefly composed as a consolation in the Author's solitary wanderings through the wild and beautiful scenery of his native county. In them he has attempted to delineate such of her pastoral graces as chanced to attract his untutored fancy, and also to draw a sketch of the sentiments and manners of a valuable class of the community, namely, those that surround, in social circle, the farmer's ingle. How far this is accomplished, the public must now determine. He is well aware that the whole would have required the polish of a more masterly hand, particularly in this meridian of poetry and criticism: he doubts not, however, but that those who are the most capable of judging, will be the readiest to forgive the frailties of the unlettered muse, thoughtlessly straying in the humbler walks of life.
