PRELIMINARY ADDRESS.

THE Jlattering reception given by the World to innumerable

Compilations from the Works ofthe moft approved Modern Authors^

under the captivating title of their Beauties ; JJjouldfeem to warrant

a probability that an apology for the follozving Attempt would

fcarcely be necejfary. Religion, Morality, Metaphyfics, Thilofophy,

Foetry, and even Hijlory, has been repeatedly employed for this

purpofe-y whether fuch difplay of the art ofBook-making has been,

more beneficial to the Authors, the Bookfellers, or the Bublie, does

mt become the Editor of the enfuing pages to determine. The

prime intent of the prefcnt produMoit is to introduce for public

infpeSlion, a fpecies of Typographical Elegance as yet very little

(if at all) known ; and it was neceff'ary, to chufe the method and

matter fufficiently eligible, as well to difplay the beauties of the

performance, as to render itproductive ofthe benevolent purpofe it is

defignedto anfzver.

The Editor reprobates the idea of infmuating a wifh, that this

SeWlon may be confidered as fuperfedlng the Works of the

Caledonian Bards, or even comprehending all their beauties and

excellencies : Her befl hopes are only, that the principal EplfodeSy

AddrcJfeSj &c, will be more intereftir.g to the Readerj and eafier

retained

( ^'i )

refetined In ih Memory than when attached to Matter kfs confe-

qucntlalf and encumbered with a perpetual iteration of the fame

alliifions and images.

E'Very Jdmirer of pure Hcrolfm, exalted Sentimenty delicate

JffeEiion, and f.rong marked Character, miijl he lovers of the

Galic Poetry ; and zvith thefe the Editor flatters herfelf if fJje

does not afpire to the expeSla-ncy of Praife,f]:e zvill incurno great

degree of cenfare, by prefenting it in a form at leafl Novelj and in

aflile ofTypographical Superiority asyet unattemped.

Neverfo happy as when an oppertunity prefents, to tejiify the

fincerejl acknozvledgnunts of agrateful heart : the Editor cannot

emit embracing theprefentj by intreating the numerous Suhfcribers

to the pojihumous publications of the late Mr. Potter her Father,

to accept (as the only pqffible return in her power, for fuch unpre-

cented goodnefs ) her earnefl wijioes, that they may he ever in

poffejfion of thofe exciuifttely delightful feelings zvhich animate the

bofom offenfihility,whofe greatefi luxury is theparticipation of zvoes

not immediately its ozvn j and whofe fupreme pleafure is relieving

them.

by Lo'chlin is meant Norway, or Scandinavia in general,

by Erin^ Ireland, and by Inisfail, a part of the fameCountry, inhabited by the Falans (whence Liis-faiL)

Sometimes Inisfail feems to denote fome of the Hebrides ;

and Inifiore ftands always for the Orkneys, or at ieait the

g-eateit pait of them: it may be alfo proper to obferve the

fooling whiv.h the kings of Mor;;i'« or Caledonia were- . w idi

( V )

with thefe neighbouring countries. With the inhabitants

of Inis-fdil a.nd Inijiore, they generally lived on good terms;

and feem to have been their fuperiors. With the legal

fovereigns of Erin and their people, they were nearly allied;

and frequently affifted them againft the ufurpations of theFirbolg^ and the incurfions of the Scandinavians ; with their

fouthern neighbours, beyond the friths of Forth and Clyde,

the kings of Morven feem to have had very little friendly

intercourfe.

So great was the attachment of the ancient Caledantans to their

hills, that we often find them, not only taking a folemn fare-

well ot them at death, but alfo imagining that a part of their

future happinels confifted in leeing and travelling over thofe

fcenes, wliich in life afforded them fomuch pleafure.
