[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Samuel Laycock In presenting this latest edition of Laycock's poems, it seems desirable to give some idea of the nature and extent of previous issues. Local literature of this kind (and especially dialectal literature) is generally supposed to make its appeal to a very limited circle of readers, and to command only a small circulation. A few bibliographical notes will shew that this is not always the case. Laycock's writings have appeared in many forms, and have extended over a period of more than forty years. His first small volume of "Poems and Songs," having reference chiefly to the Cotton Famine, was published in 1864. It was, as he said himself, but "a little bantling," but it was very well received by the public, and the favourable opinions expressed by competent critics in the press gave him an unexpected pleasure. In 1875 an enlarged edition was issued, and this also received an encouraging welcome. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
