Excerpt from By Heath and Prairie: Scottish and American Poems Spey. My youthful mind was keenly sensible of the sublimity of the northern hills, and the varied charms of vale and river. When ten years old I framed my first verses, which I carefully concealed from View. Even at that early age I fully expected to leave my native land, and I often found myself wistfully gazing on the scenes of beauty round me, as on that which I might never see again. So when the ocean rolled between them and me I found the scenes of childhood were imprinted on my memory - that absence made the heart grow fonder. Constant association with brother Scots served to keep alive in me the patriotic ardor and drew from my pen many of the poems which have appeared in Scottish and American publications. They have all been composed during hours of labor, to the accompani ment of the clang of hammer and the whirr of belt and wheel. Now, in response to the wishes of many friends, I have made a selection of those which pleased me best, with many others not hitherto printed. Besides those of special interest to British Americans, there. Are many which present my impres sions of life in a Western city. American Scots are so patriotic that they need little incentive to be true to'the traditions of their native land; and men are so learned now that it is hard to bring a smile to their face; but if these simple verses cause a thrill of fond remembrance in an exiled heart, or beguile a weary hour, they shall not have been written in vain.

Excerpt from The Scottish and American Poems of James Kennedy The blows of force by faith defied, The gold of Truth in battle tried, The radiant streaks that chase away The shadows of a darker day. These come, and through each age there runs, From stalwart sires to stalwart sons, Deep set in an eternal youth, The same strong love of right and truth, The lion heart, the iron hand.

Excerpt from Scottish Songs, Ballads, and Poems The fact, that the author has spent the last thirty years of his life in what was wont to be called the far West, will be apology enough for the few pieces on American subjects at the close of the volume; and, with this simple avowal, he, in law parlance, will rest his case.
