Excerpt from Songs for the Bairns, and Miscellaneous Poems For some time previous to his death, Mr. James Neilson was engaged preparing a new volume of poems for the press. The work now published was the result of that last effort. He had hoped that he might be able to superintend the publication, but his health becoming rapidly impaired, that service was put into other hands. Had Mr. Neilson lived a few years longer, he would probably have substituted new poems for several of the pieces included in the second part of the book. It was, however, his own wish, as it is now the desire of his relations and friends, that the whole collection should be published. These circumstances simplified the position of the Editor, whose sole duty it has been to see that justice was done to the text of the author.
