Excerpt from Ballads Other Poems IN a letter from Elgin in 1868, the subject of this Memoir wrote me: Your visit to Smith's grave (alexander Smith, author of the Life Drama, etc.) was natural and characteristic of you, and whether publish a book or not I shall expect you to visit my grave also - and what is more, write my elegy. Add to this the irresistible importunity of friends, an intimate and unbroken companionship of over forty years, and my warrant for undertaking to write these introductory pages is stated. There are few episodes in the quiet life of William Freeland for a biography - an elegy was all he himself desired - but a simple record of what he was and what he achieved, of the honourable strenuousness of his career and his generous helpfulness to others, will, I think, tend to strengthen our regard for his memory.

Excerpt from Lyrical Ballads: With a Few Other Poems An accurate taste in poetry, and in all the other arts, Sir Joshua Reynolds has observed, is an acquired talent, which can only be produced by severe thought, and a long con tinned intercourse with the best models of composition. This is mentioned not with so ridiculous a purpose as to prevent the most inexperienced reader from judging for himself; but merely to temper the rashness of decision, and to suggest that if poetry be a subject on which much time has not been bestowed, the judgment may be erroneous, and that in many cases it necessarily will be so.
