"It must strike every impartial inquirer into the subject, that the Collectors of the ancient compositions of the Highlands have produced to the world poetry which, in sublimity and tenderness, will, it is believed, be admitted to be at least equal to the compositions of the best modern poets, and but little inferior to the most admired among the ancient." — HENRY MACKENZIE. Henry Mackenzie (1745–1831) was a famous Scottish novelist and the chair of the Highland Society's committee investigating the authenticity of the Ossian poems.
