Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Defence of Robert Burns The contents of this pamphlet appeared in the Bulletin on 5th and 19th February, 1898, in reply to two articles purporting to be reviews of Henley Henderson's edition of Burns' works, which had appeared in that journal on 23rd October and 4th December, 1897. The Bulletm's replies to my trenchant criticism were not in my opinion, nor in that of any others qualified to decide, so far as I can learn, equal to the occasion. One, dated March 12th, amounted to this It is true that we have maligned Burns but then he is dead d reply from him is impossible. But the living ought to be complimentary to one another, especially where literary matters are concerned. If that be impossible, let us talk about the weather and the beauty of moonlight among the peaks and gorges of the Blue Mountains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Burns But otherwise the story of Burns's life has been told with such minuteness of detail, that the internal evidence of his poetry would seem only to be called in to verify or correct the verdict of tradition and the garbled gossip of those wise after the fact of his fame. It is so easy after a man has compelled the attention of the world to fill up the empty years of his life when he was all unknown to fame, with illustrative anecdotes and almost forgotten incidents, revealed and coloured by the light of after events! This is a penalty of genius, and it is sometimes called fame, as if fame were a gift given of the world out of a boundless and unintelligent curiosity, and not the life-record or work achieved. It is easier to collect ana and to make them into the patchwork pattern of a life than to read the character of the man in his writings; and patchwork, of necessity, has more of colour than the homespun web of a peasant-poet.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Burns and the Medical Profession In the execution of my task, the materials for which are, in many instances, difficult to find, and not always accessible, I have tried to state the case temperately and fairly for all concerned. How far I have succeeded, the reader must be the judge. That these pages are a perfect or complete statement of the inquiry, Robert Burns and the Medical Profession, I do not for a moment contend. In my researches amid Burns bibliographies, library catalogues, and other dry-as-dust out of-the-way nooks and corners of book-shelves, it is probable that I have missed out some contribution but the statement is as complete as, with care and labour, I have been able to make it.

Touched by his hand, the wayside weed Becomes a flower; the lowliest reed Beside the stream Is clothed with beauty; gorse and grass And heather, where his footsteps pass, The brighter seem. For now he haunts his native land As an immortal youth; his hand Guides every plough; He sits beside each ingle nook His voice is in each rushing brook, Each rustling bough. Longfellow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Robert Burns, Vol. 2 of 3: Genealogical and Historical Memoirs of the Poet, His Associates and Those Celebrated in His Writings The name Lawrie, otherwise Lowry and Laurie, is common to several parts of Scotland, but the chief sept bearing the designation is connected with Dumfriesshire. From Stephen Laurie, a merchant in Dumfries, who flourished in the reign of James VI., descended Sir Robert Laurie of Maxwelton, whose daughter Anna (familiarly Annie), born in 1682, is the heroine of a popular song. Springing from the Dumfriesshire sept, the Rev. John Lawrie ministered some time at Macosquin, in Ireland, and was from thence, in 1689, called to the parish of Penpont. Translated to Auchinleck in 1692, he there discharged the pastoral duties till his death in 1704. His son James, licensed to preach in 1709, was, on the 8th May 1711, ordained minister of Kirkmichael, in the county of Ayr. He died on the 7th August 1764, having fulfilled a ministry of fifty-four years. By his wife, Ann Ord (married 11th September 1714, died 28th December 1747), he had three sons and a daughter, Helen. The youngest son, George, became the Poet's friend. George Lawrie was born at the manse of Kirkmichael on the 21st September 1727.

Download or read book Robert Burns and the Scotch Excise Board Classic Reprint written by James Adams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Burns and the Scotch Excise Board The origin of the fama clearly proceeded from Burns himself, who in December, 1792, wrote to Mr Graham of Fintry, one of the five Commis sioners who formed the Board of Excise, that he was surprised, confounded, and distressed because of a hint he had got, that the Board was going to inquire into his political conduct as being suspected of disloyalty to Government. Burns anticipated any inquiry by making a clean breast of his opinions. Mr Graham, it is believed, showed this letter to his colleagues, who were evidently satisfied that no inquiry was needed, and no inquiry was made, nor was any official notice taken of the incident. But Burns was greatly frightened, chattered over the matter, and thereby started a rumour which, like the three black crows, became something as black, sir, as a crow; for he (in January, 1793) wrote to his universally respected friend Mrs Dunlop with reference to his prospects in the Excise I cannot possibly be settled as supervisor for several years. I must wait the rotation of the list, and there are 20 names before mine. Besides, some envious, malicious devil has raised a demur on my political principles. I have set henceforth a seal on my lips as to these unluckypolitics, &c., &c. To quiet reports he wrote to Mr Erskine of Mar You have been misinformed as to my dis missal from the Excise. I am still in the service. From such meagre data biographer-s and commentators have raised the mischevious superstructure that has existed till the present moment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Burns as a Volunteer: Some Fresh Facts Which Further Help to Confound the Poet's Critics More! Than sixty years ago the dull looking Excise Register of Censures, discovered at Somerset House, rescued one side of the Poet's character, and now, a hundred and twenty-two years after Burns's death, an Obscure manuscript volume of the Minutes of the Dumfries Volunteers has come to light to con found the critics still further. The great value of the new discovery lies in this, that the Volunteers set up a standard of discipline in some ways even more rigid than that of the Church, and yet Burns stands the test and comes off with flying colours. His attitude to his military duties shows that his membership was not, as has been suggested, a mere piece of hypocrisy meant to deceive or placate his superiors in the Excise who told him, when he sought to defend his attitude to the French Revolution, that his duty was to act not to think.
