I’ve always found Fergusson to be an amiable companion despite the separation of a few centuries

In fact, I think I’ll go spend some time with him right now

Galt's first published appearance; the preliminary biographical sketch to Wilson's 'Clyde; A Poem'

Here is the text; en.wikisource.org/wiki/Scotish...

The book is more fun to read because it still uses the older F form for S "... the meafure of the verfe is languid and profaic"

Agree - Buthlay has made several excellent contributions

I'd also add John Weston's essay on the poem - Weston has edited a version of the poem as well
