Excerpt from Ingleside Rhaims: Verses in the Dialect of Burns These vagaries in verse, I am bound to attribute to the Scottish blood which comes from my ancestors, not to my own caprice. I was born so. My friend Dr. Ward, of The Independent, once rather playfully asked me if I thought it worth the while to try to naturalize the dialect of Burns in the United States. For that remark I forgive him, because he is so genial a critic and fraternal a friend, and has his own leanings in language. But Burns has done that for the dialect. He has made it not only a part of the English language, but a part of the world's language. So I venture to gather these fragments within a single cover, and call them Ingleside Rhaims. The themes are mostly domestic. To treat them has never been the serious business, but always an incident of my life.
