Excerpt from The Burns Country "I have no dearer aim," said Burns, "than to make leisurely pilgrimages through Caledonia; to sit on the fields of her battles; to wander on the romantic banks of her rivers; and to muse on the stately towers or venerable ruins, once the honoured abodes of her heroes." This volume is the result of such leisurely pilgrimages as Burns desired to make. I have wandered on the banks of the rivers and streams which owe much of their romance to him; I have visited his homes and haunts in Ayrshire and Nithsdale; and I have picked up, on the way, stories of himself and his friends, and facts and traditions concerning the people who lived and fought and suffered in his country. The land of Burns can also claim to be the land of Bruce and Wallace. It was the home of Lollards and Covenanters; it witnessed centuries of feudal strife; Gait and Boswell, Ainslie and Cunningham, Burns and Scott, are among those who have invested it with the charm of literary associations.

Excerpt from The Genius, and Character of Burns There is probably not a human being come to the years of understanding in all Scotland, who has not heard of the name of Robert Burns. It is, indeed, a household word. His poems are found lying in almost every cottage in the country, on the window sole of the kitchen, spence, or parlor; and in the town-dwellings of the industrious poor, if books belong to the family at all, you are pretty sure to see there the dear Ayrshire Ploughman. The father or mother, born and long bred, per haps, among banks and braes, possesses, in that small volume, a talisman that awakens in a moment all the sweet visions of the past, and that can crowd the dim abode of hard-working poverty, with a world of dear rural remembrances that awaken not repining but contentment.

Excerpt from The Auld Ayrshire of Robert Burns The rude clay cottage of an obscure country clachan, was, thus, a most un likely place for the birth of a poet so world-famed as Burns; and it was uh likely to the verge of incredibility that poetic achievements of such merit should be accomplished by one who was still a toiling peasant. Of course, with the im pediments which he shared in common with peasants in general, he possessed certain advantages in being a Scottish peasant; and he was also the son of an ex ceptionally intelligent father; but, making allowance for special favouring in uences, there is in his triumph a certain unique ness that awakens in a peculiar manner both our sympathy and our wonder. How ever we may account for that triumph, it must be held to betoken an immense native endowment, a quite exceptional irrepressibility.

Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Robert Burns Liar not men of reflection think it a superfluous labour to trace the rise and progress ofa character like Robert Burns. Born in the condition ofa peasant, he rose by the force ofhis own mind into distinction and influence; and in his works he has exhibited what are so rarely found, the charms of original genius. With a deep knowledge of the human heart, his poetry exhibits high powers of imagination: it displays, and as it were embalms', the peculiar manners of his country; and it may be considered as a monument, not to his name only, but to the expiring genius of an ancient and once independent nation.

Excerpt from The Complete Poetical Works of Robert Burns Several reviewers, who have done more than, justice to the editor's labours generally, appear to have misconceived his meaning in defend ing the complete reproduction of all the poems, and have discovered some inconsistency in his doing so, after the statement made in his preface, that none of those poems containing objectionable passages were included by the poet in the editions published under his own superintendence. The editor believed he did right in reprinting in full all the poems and songs which had already been given to the world, in a more or less fragmentary state, by previous editors. The original impropriety of printing many of them cannot be questioned; but as they have now become public property, they must find a place in every edition of the poet's works which pretends to completeness. It would have been an easy matter to have introduced several pieces of the same class, which were undoubtedly written by the poet, and which have never appeared in any edition of his works; but to have done this would only have been to repeat the offence against good taste and the memory of the poet which his friends committed when they printed all the mss. Which happened to be in their possession at the time of his death. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Wherein in the exercise of his great function he struggled and fell short, and wherein he triumphed, it is our chief object in the present work to denote or signalize.

Excerpt from The Complete Poetical Works of Robert Burns: With an Original Memoir The descriptive improprieties are but the momentary ex. Cesses of a healthy and vigorous nature, which, though prone to err, was seldom designedly gross or wicked. Besides, the censorious critics have too often forgotten his services on the side of purity. It ought to be remembered that he found the Scottish Muse a dirty, ribald bawd, and that he made her presentable everywhere. But for him the ancient lyric poetry of our country would at the present day have been all but dead and forgotten - he breathed through it the spirit of his own genius, and it is now as imperishable as the more immediate of his creations.

Excerpt from A Souvenir of Robert Burns: Fragments Culled Amid the Scenes of His Chequered Life Great geniuses belong to certain epochs of the world's history, and not to any particular nation or century. They are the result of the accumulated knowledge, the sentiments, and the aspirations of preceeding generations. They are claimed by and justly belong to the world at large, and not exclusively to the country which gave them birth. By the expression of universal sentiments, they give that touch of nature which makes the whole world akin and which not only serves to unite more closely the inhabitants of their own country, but nations which differ widely on almost every vital principle.

Excerpt from Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 1 of 4: With His Life With something of hope and fear, I aj'er this work to my country. I have endeavoured to relate the checgueredfor tunes, delineate the character, and trace the Illustrious Peas ant with candor and accuracy his farming speculati - excise schemes - political feelings and poetic musings are discussed with a fulness not common to biography and his sharp lampoons and personal sallies are alluded to with all possible tenderness to the living and respect for the dead In writing the Poet's Life I have availed myself of his un published journals, private letters, manuscript verses, and of well-authenticated anecdotes and traits of character sup plied by his friends; and I have arranged his works as much as might be in the order of their composition, and ii lustrated them with such notes, critical, historical, and bio graphical, as seemed necessary. Of verse, one hundred and odd pieces will be found in this edition, more'than Cur rie's octavo contains. The number of letters, too, are ma terially increased - but nothing is admitted which bears not the true Burns' stamp. The embellishments are of high merit: the portrait of the Poet has called forth the commen dation of several who had the honor of his acquaintance.
