By Andrew McDonald

Book Overview

The Miscellaneous Works of A. McDonald is a collection of literary pieces written by Andrew McDonald, a Scottish poet and playwright. The book includes a tragedy play entitled Vimonda, which was first published in 1791. Vimonda is a tragic tale of love, betrayal, and revenge set in ancient Rome. The play follows the story of Vimonda, a princess who falls in love with a Roman soldier named Decius. However, their love is forbidden, and they are forced to keep their relationship a secret. When the truth is revealed, Vimonda is banished, and Decius is sentenced to death. The play is a poignant exploration of the human condition and the consequences of forbidden love. Along with Vimonda, the book also includes various other works by McDonald, such as poems, songs, and essays. The collection provides an insight into the literary works of a lesser-known Scottish writer of the late 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
