Book Description
Excerpt from The Modern Scottish Minstrel; Or the Songs of Scotland of the Past Half Century, Vol. 1 of 6: With Memoirs of the Poets, and Sketches and Specimens in English Verse of the Most Celebrated Modern Gaelic Bards Scotland has probably produced a more patriotic and more extended minstrelsy than any other country in the world. Those Caledonian harp - strains, styled by Sir Walter Scott gems of our own mountains, have fre quently been gathered into caskets of national song, but have never been stored in any complete cabinet; while no attempt has been made, at least on an ample scale, to adapt, by means of suitable metrical transla tions, the minstrelsy of the Gael for Lowland melody. The present work has been undertaken with the View of supplying these deficiencies, and with the further de Sign of extending the fame of those cultivators of Scot tish song - hitherto partially obscured by untoward circumstances, or on account of their own diffidence and of affording a stimulus towards the future cultiva tion of national poetry.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Modern Scottish Minstrel; Or the Songs of Scotland of the Past Half Century, Vol. 6 of 6: With Memoirs of the Poets, and Sketches and Specimens in English Verse of the Most Celebrated Modern Gaelic Bards AS if pointing to a condition of primeval happiness, Poetry has been the first language of nations. The Lyric Muse has especially chosen the land of natural sublimity, of mountain and of flood; and such scenes she has only abandoned when the inhabitants have sacri ficed their national liberties. Edward I. Who massacred the Minstrels of Wales, might have spared the butchery, as their strains were likely to fall unheeded on the ears of their subjugated countrymen. The martial music of Ireland is a matter of tradition; on the first step of the invader the genius of chivalric song and melody departed from Erin. Scotland retains her independence, and those strains which are known in northern Europe as the most inspiriting and delightful, are recognised as the native minstrelsy of Caledonia. The origin of Scottish song and melody is as difficult of settlement as is the era or the genuineness of Ossian. There probably were songs and music in Scotland in ages long prior to the period of written history. Preserved and transmitted through many generations of men, stern and defiant as the mountains amidst which it was produced, the Minstrelsy of the North has, in the course of centuries, continued steadily to increase alike in aspiration of senti ment and harmony of numbers.
