ROBERT TANNAHILL 1774-1810
A STUDY OF THE POET'S SONGS AND LANDSCAPES
"Give me your severest remarks on the above songs. Every coof may say a thing is capital, beautiful, &c.; but I'd rather have the candid criticism of a man of taste than the incense of ten thousand fools."
Robert Tannahill, excerpt from letter to James King, Paisley, 17th July, 1808.
