Excerpt from Selected Poems and Songs

This selection from the poems and songs of Charles Mackay has been made from the twelve volumes published at various intervals between the years 1840 and 1882, viz.: - I. "The Hope of the World." II. "The Salamandrine; or, the Maid of Mora." III. "Legends of the Isles." IV. "Voices from the Crowd." V. "Voices from the Mountains." VI. "Egeria; or, the Spirit of Nature." VII. "The Lump of Gold, a Legend of Australia." VIII. "Under Green Leaves." IX. "A Man"s Heart." X. "Studies from the Antique." XI. "Interludes and Undertones." XII. "Collected Songs." Several of these volumes have gone through four and five editions, and others are now out of print; and all of them on their first appearance were received with public favour, and acquired for the author a high degree of popularity, not only in Great Britain, but in America and Australia. Many of the songs have been translated into French and German and other European languages.
