Poems dated 1823-1847 and apparently transcribed by Thomas Alexander. "The following verses were composed by Dr Gillespie whilst residing at Denino on the day on which he died: they on that account possess a melancholy interest. It will be seen that the occasion of them was a joyful one - the Queen's visit for the second time to Scotland in September 1844. They were published first in the Dundee Advertiser. The other verses were written by me in snatches of time". [No obvious relationship with rest of collection].
Book of verses by Dr Thomas Gillespie (1777-1844), Professor of Humanity at the University of St. Andrews, and Thomas Alexander.
