* ‘Granddad In The Ingle’ is not included in ‘The Complete Poetical Works of Robert Buchanan’. I found it on the University of Michigan’s ‘Making of America’ site which contains a number of facsimile editions of 19th century magazines. ‘Granddad In The Ingle’ was published in Appleton’s journal: a monthly miscellany of popular literature on March 14th, 1874 (Volume 11, Issue 260). It had been previously published in Cassell’s Magazine. I believe the reason for its omission from ‘The Complete Poetical Works’ is the fact that Buchanan recycled the idea of the mute old man, haunted by something in his past, for the opening of his novel ‘God and the Man’ which was published in 1881. ** ‘The Golden Year’ is not included in ‘The Complete Poetical Works of Robert Buchanan’. It was published in The Buchanan Ballads Old and New, London: John Haddon and Company, 1892.
