Excerpt from Sir William Wallace: His Life and Deeds These words of our national bard find a ready reception in every Scottish breast, for the memory of Wallace, our Scottish patriot, who stands pre-eminent in our national history, is ever fresh and green: yet, probably, only a comparative few have ever seen, much less read, the famous work of Blind Harry. While it must be admitted that he is ever a biassed, or even at times a prejudiced partisan, yet undoubtedly he is both a sincere and a most able writer. His powers of graphic description, which are shewn in the combats and the many stirring deeds of the story, are exceedingly great. He also displays a keen Scotch sense of humour, while his work abounds in fine delineations of the beauties of nature and of human emotions and aspirations.
