1878—
NOTE,
Saved Leaves (it is the Author speaks) are asTHE
they name themselves—saved leaves. There is
a literary flush in most impressionable young students,
from sixteen to twenty-three or so—of such flush these
leaves are saved specimens. What is said of the Ballad
Merla will, with the dates, sufficientlyof orient the reader;
who, du reste,—so far as the collecting is concerned,
will, perhaps, think of an occupation of recess.
It is different with Burns in Drama which, neverthe-;
less, was itself planned, begun, and in large part written
It is scarcelyin 1855. necessary to remark that, by this
piece, no drama of plot or incident is intended, but only
a study of character. With this object in view, the
concludingmatter of (partial) monologues was found
unfit for the form of dialogue.
The judicious reader will, probably, perceive that
'part the saving elementsome of ' was consideration
of the variety of tastes.CONTENTS.
