Excerpt from Ingleside Rhaims: Verses in the Dialect of Burns Some of the pieces here published are more prop erly studies, or imitations, than poems. But I have remembered that so great a master of his art as Burns himself, was indebted to other poets for the suggestion of such productions as even his in imitable Cotter's Saturday Night. Not to speak of The Holy Fair Whatever else, however, these poems may want. I hope they will not be re garded as deficient in purity, simplicity, and truth fulness, and that some of them may be found to possess even genuine poetic grace. My aim in the use of the Scotch dialect has been less to follow its peculiar idioms, which would have made me unintelligible to the mass of Eng lish readers, than to secure from it qualities of beauty, for which, I think, it will always remain unequalled. In a period when the tendency is away from the daily home-life, which is the se curity of the individual and the hope of 'the nation, I have tried to depict some of its gentle attractions; thankful if I may thus express my gratitude to God for the home-life of my childhood, as well as that of my maturer years and possibly may awaken kindred emotions in the bosom of others.
