The river of Leith : A new poem /
McGonagall, William.
[Edinburgh : s.n.,
ca. 1900]
In two columns with a crown above the title.
In verse.
Dated from the address given on the sheet - McGonagall was still living in Dundee as late as 1894.
At the top of the sheet in McGonagall's hand - 'Sir Wm. Topaz McGonagall. Poet'.
'Composed September, 1895'.
First lines read: As I stood upon the Dean Bridge and viewed the beautiful scenery, / I felt fascinated and my heart was full of glee, / And I exclaimed in an ecstasy of delight, / In all my travels I never saw such a sight.
