Excerpt from The Poems and Fables of Robert Henryson: Now First Collected, With Notes, and a Memoir of His LifeEvery Manuscript known to contain any poems attri buted to henryson has been carefully consulted, and the early printed editions, all of them of the utmost degree of rarity, have not been overlooked. It is unnecessary to specify these in this place, as they are particularly described in the Notes. In regard to the Author's personal history, scanty as the notices may be, fortunately he is not like many of our Old Makars, whose writings have perished, and who stand beforeus in a dim shadowy obscurity, affording some tran sient glimpse, or with the mere sound of a name, while of others the few unimportant reliques that have reached our times, serve only to indicate that such persons had ever existed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
