Bannockburn : A historical poem /
McGonagall, William.
[Edinburgh : s.n.,
1901?]
In two columns with a coat of arms above the title.
In verse.
'Composed, March 1901'.
At the top of the sheet in McGonagall's hand - 'Sir Wm. Topaz McGonagall. Poet'.
Printed beneath the title are two letters of acknowledgement for receipt of poems from McGonagall, both from Francis Knollys, one on behalf of the Prince of Wales, the other on behalf of the King.
First lines read: Sir Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn, / Beat the English in every wheel and turn, / And made them fly in great dismay / From off the field without delay.
