This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 2: Self Interpreting My Lords and Gentlemen: - A Scottish Bard, proud of the name, and whose highest ambition is to sing in his country's service, where shall he so properly look for patronage as to the illustrious names of his native land; those who bear the honors and inherit the virtues of their ancestors? The Poetic Genius of my country found me, as the prophetic bard Elijah did Elisha - at the plough, and threw her inspiring mantle over me. She bade me sing the loves, the joys, the rural scenes and rural pleasures of my native soil, in my native tongue; I tuned my wild, artless notes as she inspired. She whispered me to come to this ancient Metropolis of Caledonia, and lay my songs under your honored protection; I now obey her dictates. Though much indebted to your goodness, I do not approach you, my Lords and Gentlemen, in the usual style of dedication, to thank you for past favors: that path is so hackneyed by prostituted learning that honest rusticity is ashamed of it. Nor do I present this Address with the venal soul of a servile author, looking for a continuation 01 those favors: I was bred to the plough and am independent. I come to claim the common Scottish name with you, my illustrious countrymen; and to tell the world that I glory in the title. I come to congratulate my country that the blood of her ancient heroes still runs uncontaminated, and that from your courage, knowledge, and public spirit, she may expect protection, wealth and liberty. In the last place, I come to proffer my warmest wishes to the great fountain of honor, the Monarch of the universe, for your welfare and happiness. When you go forth to waken the echoes, in the ancient and favorite amusement of your forefathers, may Pleasure ever be of your party: and may social Joy await your return! When harassed in courts or camps with the jostlings of bad men and bad measures, may the honest consciousness of injured worth attend your return to your native seats; and may domestic happiness, with a smiling welcome, meet you at your gates! May corruption shrink at your kindling indignant glance; and may tyranny in the ruler, and licentiousness in the people, equally find you an inexorable foe!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Robert Burns; With His Life, Vol. 2 of 6 To his Subscribers, the Author returns his most sincere thanks. Not the mercenary bow over a counter, but the heart-throbbing gratitude of the Bard, conscious how much he owes to benevolence and friendship for gratifying him, if he deserves it, in that dearest wish of every poetic bosom - to be distinguished. He begs his readers, particularly the learned and the polite, who may honour him with a perusal, that they will make every allowance for education and circumstances of life but if, after a fair, candid, and impartial criticism, he shall stand convicted of dulness and nonsense, let him be done by as he would in that case do by others - let him be condemned, without mercy, to contempt and oblivion.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 2 of 4: With an Account of His Life, and a Criticism on His Writings; To Which Are Prefixed, Some Observation on the Character and Condition of Scottish Peasantry In printing this volume, the'editor has found some correctness of grammar necessary; but these have been very few, and such as may be supposed to occur in the careless effusions, even of literary characters, who have not been in the habit of car rying their compositions to the press. These cor. Rections have never been extended to any habitual modes of expression of the poet, even where his phraseology may seem to violate the delicacies of taste, or the idiom of our language, which he wrote in general with great accuracy. Some difference will indeed be found in this respect in his earlier, and in his later compositions; and this volume will exhibit the progress of his style, as well as the his. Tory of his mind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 6 Of what is new and distinguishing in the present edition, our readers, who earnestly compare it with earlier ones, must judge for themselves; but regarding our large additions to the author's text, both in poetry and prose, we may here state that, while Cunningham in 1834 boasted of his volumes containing nearly one hundred and fifty pieces of verse beyond those in Currie's octavos, we 1nclude one hundred and thirty more than Cunningham's number. In the prose department we give five hundred and thirty four of the bard's letters, while the full number in Cunning ham's edition is three hundred and twenty-seven, and many of these are considerably abridged.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 2: With Memoir, Critical Dissertation, and Explanatory Notes So the loud torrent and the whirlwind's roar But bind him to his native mountains more. We question if even in the breast Of Scott himself although he said that if he did not see the heather once a - year, he would die - there burned a stronger or purer attachment to auld Caledonia than in Burns, although he had not an acre in it which he could call his own, and no link connecting him with it closer than the handle Of a plough at one time, and a gauger's rod at another. That country must have powerful charms which can create enthusiasm even in the minds Of its serfs and down-trodden children Of toil.
