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 The Book of Robert Burns, Vol. 3 of 3: Genealogical and Historical Memoirs of the Poet His Associates and Those Celebrated in His Writing Having been asked, with a View to the completion of this Work, to prepare a short biography of Burns, I have aimed at writing a concise narrative, setting forth as many of the incidents of the Poet's career as the available space would allow, and at making as large use as possible of the Poet's own words. For the purpose of writing a Life' of Burns, the late Dr. Charles Rogers had gathered a mass of notes; but these notes could have been advantageously utilised only by Dr. Rogers himself. Every one knows that the subject of the Poet's Life and Writings has already been fully and powerfully dealt with by many eminent authors. Having agreed, however, though not without misgivings, to complete Vol. III. Of the Book of Robert Burns, I have tried to perform my task clearly, faithfully, and sympathetically.

Download or read book Robert Burns Nature written by Alastair Turnbull and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at 12 works written by Robert Burns which were inspired by Nature. A number of these works were written in 1787 during Robert's 'Grand Tour' of the highlands, others were written a little closer to home... We look at the works themselves, give a modern translation of each one and look at when, where and possibly, why they were written. This gives you quick, easy to understand information about Burns poetry and also about the man himself. One of the biggest problems with reading Burns poetry is the language he used, specifically the scots words and dialects, which can be difficult to understand. To help with this there is a full modern English translation of each poem directly after the original poem. There is also an extensive glossary of scots words and their modern English equivalent included. This is the second book in the "Enjoying Robert Burns" series.
