Página 206 - About the year 1793, Burger's extraordinary poem of Leonora found its way to Scotland, and it happened that a translation of it was read at Dugald Stewart's, I think by Mrs Barbauld. Miss Cranstoun described this strange work to her friend ; the young poet, whose imagination was set on fire...
