Excerpt from The Fabulists The names of the little company were Raven, Duxbury, Scarrott, and Heriot, who sang. A selection from their pieces is here given. They stand for the most part as written to be delivered though, in actual process of delivery, policy had occasionally to counsel the simplifying of a phrase or the omission of an obscure passage. The majority of the sketches are of the briefest description; but a few of greater length, designed for weather bound occasions in bar parlours, or about the post prandial fire in commercial rooms, are added for ballast. Duxbury is responsible for the choice, throughout.
