A set of English songs and epigrams on separate sheets, written perhaps in the third quarter of the 18th cent.
Apparently chiefly in the hand of James Boswell the elder (d. 1795). They seem to belong to his Edinburgh days, for one poem (to him, by A. McIntosh) is dated Sept. 22, 1761, and another 1762 (fols. 21, 61). Many of them are included in a 'plan of a volume of poems to be published for me by Becket & Dehorde' (fol. 1), and all are light in character.
