An address to Prince Leopold - first lines read: All hail! to Prince Leopold so handsome and gay, / Welcome! thrice welcome, to Dundee this day / To open the railway bridge of the silvery Tay.
Lines in memoriam of the late Rev. George Gilfillan - first lines read: Alas! the Reverend George Gilfillan is gone at last / To the better world, I hope, where all sorrows are past. / He was a liberal gentleman, which no one dare gaissay, / Besides, he was the greatest preacher in his day.
