Book Description

Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Andrew Steel: Respectfully Inscribed (by Permission) To the Right Hon. The Earl of Home In again bringing under the notice of a discerning public, the following sheets of my leisure and happiest hours, I humbly beg to solicit their sympathy and indulgence towards my literary efforts, as none, I candidly assure my friends and supporters, can be more sensitively alive to, or conscious of, his own weaknesses or shortcomings, than I am of mine. Still, I am far from being without the laudable feelings, both of ambition and hope, in reference to these effusions of my private pastime, many of which, I am certain, will be warmly and intelligently appreciated, as they have been long well known, and most favourably reviewed, by many, who, in every respect, were amply qualified for the task.
