Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Allan Ramsay, Vol. 2: With Life of the Author
Ramsay's fame rests so much on his celebrated pas toral comedy, it deserves particular notice; especially in a work, the chief design of which is to illustrate its scenery. Its other beauties have been zealously and fully pointed out by one who appears to be a scholar and Scottish antiquarian, in Remarks on his Writings,' pre fixed to the late edition of his works of 1800, already so often, unavoidably, criticised. The following observa tions shall principally be directed to its plot and scenery.
