The Poems of Ossian is a collection of epic poems written by Scottish author James MacPherson in the late 18th century. MacPherson claimed that the poems were translations of ancient Gaelic works, but their authenticity has long been disputed.

The language of the poems is highly poetic and romantic, and they were widely popular in their time, inspiring many other writers and artists. Today, they are considered an important part of Scottish literary history, and continue to be read and studied by scholars and enthusiasts alike.Ossian, the legendary poet, is today believed to be entirely the creation of James McPherson, but hey, he mixed in some great Celtic stories, right?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
