Excerpt from The Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 4 A few words of preface may be expected from the Editor in entering upon the second division of his twofold undertaking, as announced in the Prospectus to this "Library Edition of Burns." The complete writings of the author were to be presented in six volumes - one half of these to contain his Poems and Songs, arranged according to date of composition; and the remaining three volumes to comprise his Letters and other Prose productions, similarly arranged. These twin-sections, it was promised, would exhibit the bard as his own biographer, giving two parallel recitals of the shifting drama of his life - the one, in poetry and song, and the other, in his own powerful prose. The favourable notices by the public press, of the volumes already issued, encourage the hope that the execution of branch second of this undertaking will be no less appreciated. Dr Currie, taking a hint from Boswell's Johnson, hazarded the "experiment" of engaging the public interest by committing to the press about one hundred and twenty letters of Bums - "the recent and unpremeditated effusions of a man of genius."

Excerpt from The Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 4 of 6: With His Life IT is intimated by Currie that Burns contributed songs liberally to Johnson's Musical Museum but, in the communications to which his name was not in general aflixed, he was less careful than in the lyrics written for the greater work of Thomson. Several of them he never intended to acknowledge, and others were found somewhat altered afterwards among his manuscripts. Cromek speaks more plainly Burns 'contributed, gratuitously, ' not less than one hundred and eighty-four original, altered, and collected songs. The Editor has seen one hundred and eighty transcribed by his own hand for the Museum. Both might have added that the pre faces to the second, third, and fourth volumes were written by the Poet, and that to his industry we owe many of the truly original airs with which the publi cation abounds. Of the one hundred and sixty lyrics which this volume contains, not more than seventy will be found in Currie's octavos; and it may be safely re-as serted that the reader will probably think. Many of these songs among the finest productions of the Poet's. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 4 of 4: With His Life The genius of Hill has added largely to the beauty and value of the work: poetic subjects have been poetically treated, and a visible grace and elegance communicated to scenes dear to all lovers of the Muse. Few seasons pass without removing some of the personal friends and familiars of Burns. Dr. Maxwell died lately at Edinburgh in ripe old age - he generously attended the Poet, free of all, expense, during his last illness, and aided liberally in promoting the happiness of the widow and her helpless children. To him the Poet bequeathed the pistols (now the property of the Editor) which; he carried in his expeditions against the smugglers on the Solway, and of which he thus wrote to Blair of Birmingham, who made them; I have tried them, and will say for them what I would not say of the bulk of mankind, - they are an honor to their maker. I take leave of the subject in rhymes which though homely are sincere. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Life and Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 2 Minuter treatment in detail is here, perhaps, unnecessary; but it may he remarked, that the correspondence with Mrs. Dunlop - the realest the most important, and dignified of its kind; and the selected correspondence with Clarinda' - approach ing more nearly to the region of purely fictitious epistolary work than anything absolutely real ever did, are doubtless in many ways the most conspicu ous portions of the whole. But the rest have a peculiar although subordinate interest of their own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
