Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Burns: With Twelve Illustrations Fully set forth by Dr. Charles Rogers in his Book of Burns, 1891. The poet's paternal descent was from a line of tenant-farmers in Kincardineshire, which can be traced back to the beginning Of the seventeenth century. A varying tradition that the first Kincardineshire ancestor was a fugitive Argyllshire Walter Campbell, who adopted the name Burnhouse - afterwards changed to Burness - from the place Of his birth or his new resid ence, is hardly reconcilable with ascertained facts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From the Poems of Robert Burns In the character of Robert Bums there is much to love and to honor, and much to pity and to blame. His genius was recognized even during his life, and it made the Ayrshire farmer welcome in the highest Edinburgh society. But his social disposition, and the very love in which he was held among the people, led him into all kinds of excesses and dissipations. William Burnes, the father of the poet, was an honest, hardworking farmer, of an intelligence superior to the average of his class. He was a man of strong religious convictions, and was held in the highest esteem and reverence by his son, who honors his memory in that beautiful picture of ideal domestic peasant life, "The Cotter's Saturday Night." Robert Burns was born in 1759, in a humble two-roomed cottage on the banks of the Doon, near the town of Ayr - "Auld Ayr, wham ne'er a town surpasses, For honest men and bonie lasses."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Burns The Poetic life of Robert Burns belongs to the whole world, for his nature was as boundless and brilliant as the stars and the sorrow and disappointment that filled his earthly career find a forgiving sympathy in the hearts of mankind. I take the liberty of translating the vernacular of the Celtic dialect found in the poems of the Bard into plain English, which has never before been done, and endeavor to retain his intention and sense, at the technical expense of the rhyme. This contribution to literature is a rambling, truthful, eloquent lecture upon the salient points in the personal and poetical life of Burns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetry of Robert Burns, Vol. 1 Burns's verse falls naturally into two main divisions. One, and that the larger, appeals with persistency and force, on the strength of some broadly human qualities, to the world in general: for the reason that the world in general is rich in sentiment but lacks the literary sense. The other, being a notable and lasting contribution to literature, is the concern of comparatively few. The present Edition of Burns's verse is primarily addressed to the second of these two bodies of readers. Of necessity, however, it is as nearly complete as existing canons of taste will permit; and 'tis hoped that it will prosper, though for different reasons and on different grounds, with both sections of what, after all, is one, and that a world-wide, public.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Burns: The Poet of the People Robert Burns, the Poet of the People, was born in a cottage on the banks of the Doon, about two miles from Ayr, on the 25th of Jan uary, 1759. His father was servant to a gentle man who lived near Ayr. In his twenty-third year Robert Burns joined a Flax-dresser named Irwin with a view of learning the trade. A dis astrous fire put an end to this scheme, and left the poet penniless and without a trade. Later on he joined his brother and became a farmer. On the failure of the farming, Burns began to publish his poems. He soon attracted the at tention of prominent men of letters, and nota bly the patronage of the Earl of Glencairn. In February, 1788, he took the farm at Ellisland on the banks of the Nith. Shortly after this he married his darling Jean. In 1789 he was appointed an officer of Excise. In 1791 he removed to Dumfries. Here he made many enemies by his strongly expressed sentiments concerning the French Revolution. His oft repeated opinions nearly lost him his position. He was retained in office after a very severe repri mand. This stern reproof embittered his proud Spirit. Sickness overtook him. He went fora.

This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Poetical Works of Robert Burns Tun present edition of Burus'a Complete Poetical Works conforms with the other volumes in the Cambridge series Longfellow, Whittier, Browning, Holmes, and Lowell as regards mechanical features and general treatment, but its edito rial equipment is drawn entirely from the Centenary Burns edited by Messrs. W. E. Henley and T. F. Henderson. By arrangement with Messrs. T. C. E. C. Jack of Edinburgh, the publishers of that work, Messrs. Houghton, Mimin Co. Assumed the publication of the four volumes in America, and also secured the right of issuing the work in one volume in general uniformity with their Cambridge edi tions. The plan of the Centenary Burns was that of a definitive edition. The editors not only reprinted all of the known poems of Burns, but were able to collect some poems not before included. They used a careful judgment in the choice of texts, and accomymied each poem with a minute record of other readings, so that the edition is a variorum one. Not only this; they traced the origin of each poem and gave a full history of its evolution, where, as in many cases, Burns had adapted an existing song to his own use. They explained, moreover, in prefatory and other notes, the personal, historical, and local references, and they supplied a glos nary of terms as well as copious indexes. Finally, Mr. Henley summed up the editorial judgment in an essay at once critical and biographical. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
