Editor's Introduction: ... In making this selection I have tried chiefly to represent McCrae at his best, but also to represent him in all his styles and moods. The selection is drawn entirely from The Best Poems of Hugh McCrae, edited by R. G. Howarth, which, though it excludes a few pieces which would read well in a Collected Poems, does not omit anything of major importance. ... Douglas Stewart (v-xv, [1]p.)
