PREFACE TO THE SIXTH EDITION.
In this enlightened age, it is an acknowledged
principle, that no religion should be forced on
any people ; that the supply should be accord-
ing to the demana As far as I know, I am
not transgressing this rule, by publishing an
other edition of my Gaelic Poems. The fifth
edition has been sold off in a short time,
although it was large ; but from the fine paper,
and the neat manner in w r hich the book was
bound up, w 7 ith a portrait, the proprietor
required a price which put it out of the reach
of some poor people to buy them. Finding
that there is still a great demand for them, the
sixth edition is now published in a cheap form,
so that most of the poor Highlanders may buy
copies for themselves, and that those whe
cannot, may be supplied gratis by their rich
neighbours, who wish to see the poor rich in
faith, and partakers of the unsearchable riches
of Christ.
