Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 4 of 4 The labours of the various gentlemen who have aided me in the work, which has now been brought to a close, have been so valuable and of so substantial a character that I cannot but re gard the book itself as being at least as much theirs as it is mine. I am deeply indebted and grateful to Mr J. C. Ewing, of The Mitchell Library, Glasgow, and Mr james davidson, m.a., for assistance of this character in the general work of revision and correction; and to my brother, Mr robert tallaoe, mp. For East Edinburgh, for similar help in the inception and production of an estimate of the character and genius of Burns. I cannot too heartily thank Mr \villiam melven, m.a., of Glasgow Academy, for his strenuous exertions to make the Indexes a full and accu rate guide to the whole work. The altogether unique biblio graphical scholarship and special researches of Mr Ewing have saved me from many errors in alluding to works upon Burns, and have enabled me to present to the public for the first time a number of important and hitherto unpublished letters of the poet, including those relating to his 'contest with the London News men.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Robert Burns Most people are aware that the Life of Burns has already been dealt with by not a few eminent writers. It was, therefore, with reluctance and misgivings that I - alto gether without experience of this kind of work - under took to pen a sketch of the Poet's career, with a View to the completion of the Third Volume of The Book of Robert Burns, which was projected and so far carried through by the late Dr. Charles Rogers, under the auspices of the Grampian Club. When the third volume of the above-named work appeared, my narrative met with many unexpectedly favour able press notices, in some of which the opinion was expressed that this Life of Burns should be recast for publication in separate form, and at a cost easily acces sible to those of the general public who might care to have it. The Biography is now issued in accordance with this opinion. It is nowadays next to impossible to lay any large or just claim to originality in dealing with the Life of Burns. This volume only claims to be a faithful and sympathetic effort to put together a record of facts, as full as moderate space would hold, and in language as simple and concise as the writer could employ. A biographer's first and constant aim should be to keep himself in the background. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
