Excerpt from Bothwell: A Poem

IN sending a Third and Revised Edition of this Poem from the press, the Author is desirous of expressing his grateful acknowledgment to the public for the favour shown to his work, not withstanding the many blemishes which were apparent in the first edition. Some of these blemishes were no doubt attributable to over hasty composition; while others arose from the difficulty of constructing a poem of this length in the form of a Monologue, and also from a desire (perhaps too scrupulously adhered to) of deviat ing in no respect from what the Author firmly believes to be the historical truth. In point of form the poem has undergone no alteration but much care has been bestowed upon the correction of isolated passages; some superfluous matter has been excised and other amendments made, in the hope of giving more strength and vivacity.
