When I want to express a sentiment which I feel strongly, I find the phrase in Shakespeare--or thee." · / Thus wrote Sir Waiter Scott in his Journal. And to-day, as always, Burns's countrymen find in his songs the expression of their deepest feelings and beliefs. A teacher's work is never more worthwhile than when he introduces the next generation to this part of our inheritance. For more than seventy years the BUrns Federation has helped such work. Now, along with McDougall's, it has prepared The Burns Federation Song Book especially for use in schools. This contains twenty songs, the texts of which have been taken from the best sources and scrupulously edited, with glossaries and notes on pronunciation. Some of the tunes are those to which Burns wrote his words, and others are ones which have become traditionally associated with them. They are all suited to the range of a child's voice, and the accompaniments are straight- .' forward and musically satisfying. The Burns Federation Song Book is published in two forms: the Pupils' Edition, with staff and sol-fa notation, and the Piano Edition. Each book has the same full glossaries and phonetic pronunciations, together with an introductory note on pronuncia­ tion by David D. Murison, the editor of The Scottish National Dictionary. The musical arrangements are by George Short, and the songs have been chosen and edited by John McVie. Pupils' Edition 3s. Od. Piano Edition - ·7s.6d.

AYRSHIRE Telephone Kilmarnock 245 "BURNS CHRONICLE" ADVERTISER OPENING THE ROAD WHEN the Highlands were opened by General Wade's roads, the advantage was slowly realised. Fifty years later the truth was plain. Wade's roads which, for military purposes, broke the isolation of remote places had become arteries of commerce. Resolution and the energy of many men with stone-breaking hammers, crowbars, shovels, and little else made the roads. These men were soldiers of the Highland Companies later to be named the Black Watch. The twentieth century roadmaker has an enormously easier task. With modern rock-rlrilling methods and efficient blasting techniques, rock is no longer an obstinate barrier to progress. Specialised commercial explosives and detonators, made by the Nobel Division of I.C.I., are powerful agents in civil-engineering works of many kinds, quarrying, metal-mining, coal-mining, and geophysical prospecting for oil and minerals. In years of change and expansion chemicals have been added to the list of Nobel Division products. Pentaerythritol, industrial nitrocellulose, the "Cellofas" derivatives of cellulose and the versa­ tile silicones are now substantial manufacturing interests. These commercial explosives and chemicals are the material results of ideas vigorously expressed. The Nobel Division of I.C.I. has grown with ideas. In research laboratories, engineering departments, and in new plants, work for the future goes on. Better explosives, new chemicals, and more efficient processes will be to-morrow's gift from to-day's hard work. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES LTD.

NOTES AND DOCUMENTS Thomas Carlyle in 1981 The Carlyle centenary of 1981 has been celebrated so various­ ly, and in so many parts of the world, that there seems little remaining doubt about CarlYle's importance. That he has re­ surfaced after decades of neglect or unpopularity, that his reputation has survived allegations of fascism, above all that critical interest has matured beyond squabblings about his private life to look at the man and his works, all contribute to a sense that one hundred years after his death, Thomas Carlyle can perhaps be seen more clearly as a Victorian of first rank. The repositories of Carlyle papers around the world did well to mount substantial exhibitions, at Duke, at Santa Cruz, in Edinburgh University and Public libraries as well as at the National Library of Scotland. Chelsea had a small but inter­ esting exhibition, and as these words are written the display in the National Portrait Gallery of London is attracting wide­ spread attention.

  • TRAVEL and ADVENTURE in the WORKS of ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON by Mahmoud Mohamed Mahmoud Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department
    TRAVEL AND ADVENTURE IN THE WORKS OF ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON by Mahmoud Mohamed Mahmoud Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Scottish Literature University of Glasgow. JULY 1984 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my deepest sense of indebtedness and gratitude to my supervisor, Alexander Scott, Esq., whose wholehearted support, invaluable advice and encouragement, penetrating observations and constructive criticism throughout the research have made this work possible; and whose influence on my thinking has been so deep that the effects, certainly, will remain as long as I live. I wish also to record my thanks to my dear wife, Naha, for her encouragement and for sharing with me a considerable interest in Stevenson's works. Finally, my thanks go to both Dr. Ferdous Abdel Hameed and Dr. Mohamed A. Imam, Department of English Literature and Language, Faculty of Education, Assuit University, Egypt, for their encouragement. SUMMARY In this study I examine R.L. Stevenson as a writer of essays, poems, and books of travel as well as a writer of adventure fiction; taking the word "adventure" to include both outdoor and indoor adventure. Choosing to be remembered in his epitaph as the sailor and the hunter, Stevenson is regarded as the most interesting literary wanderer in Scottish literature and among the most intriguing in English literature. Dogged by ill- health, he travelled from "one of the vilest climates under heaven" to more congenial climates in England, the Continent, the States, and finally the South Seas where he died and was buried. Besides, Stevenson liked to escape, especially in his youth, from the respectabilities of Victorian Edinburgh and from family trouble, seeking people and places whose nature was congenial to his own Bohemian nature.

  • 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate's Close Proximity to The
    Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey For Canongate Kirkyard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate’s close proximity to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is situated at the eastern end of Canongate Burgh, has been influential on both the fortunes of the Burgh and the establishment of Canongate Kirk. In 1687, King James VII declared that the Abbey Church of Holyroodhouse was to be used as the chapel for the re-established Order of the Thistle and for the performance of Catholic rites when the Royal Court was in residence at Holyrood. The nave of this chapel had been used by the Burgh of Canongate as a place of Protestant worship since the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, but with the removal of access to the Abbey Church to practise their faith, the parishioners of Canongate were forced to find an alternative venue in which to worship. Fortunately, some 40 years before this edict by James VII, funds had been bequeathed to the inhabitants of Canongate to erect a church in the Burgh - and these funds had never been spent. This money was therefore used to build Canongate Kirk and a Kirkyard was laid out within its grounds shortly after building work commenced in 1688. 1 Development It has been ruminated whether interments may have occurred on this site before the construction of the Kirk or the landscaping of the Kirkyard2 as all burial rights within the church had been removed from the parishioners of the Canongate in the 1670s, when the Abbey Church had became the chapel of the King.3 The earliest known plan of the Kirkyard dates to 1765 (Figure 1), and depicts a rectilinear area on the northern side of Canongate burgh with arboreal planting 1 John Gifford et al., Edinburgh, The Buildings of Scotland: Pevsner Architectural Guides (London : Penguin, 1991).

  • John Cannan “The Lady Killer”
    John Cannan “The Lady Killer” Information researched and summarized by Erin Waddell, Breeanne Berlin, & Ryan Mank Department of Psychology Radford University Radford, VA 24142-6946 Date Age Life Event 02/24/1954 0 Born in Warwickshire (Sutton Coldfield) in England Parents sent him to a private school for boys. He had a teacher that always ate 1958 4 biscuits during break time. Cannan bragged later in life about how he used his charm to persuade her to allow him to have biscuits as well. A teacher took him into a vacant classroom and instructed him to drop his trousers. The teacher touched him between the legs and wanted John to touch him as well; he 1961/1962 7/8 did it in fear of the teacher. He claims to have felt ashamed from it and that it went on for months because he couldn’t tell anyone about it. He became afraid of school after this and developed a stammer from being nervous all the time at school. He was taken to the family doctor because of this nervousness and then did not return to the school. He used the experience at school to explain why he was 1963 9 “different” from others and why he didn’t have any close friends; claimed he always had to deal with humiliation and shame which led him to express anger and resentment. He gained 5 certificates of secondary education and 3 ordinary level general certificates of education; because of his athletic ability he was offered the chance to 1971 17 train with the Birch Harriers which was a leading athletic club but his father was against the idea.

  • RBWF Burns Chronicle Index
    A Directory To the Articles and Features Published in “The Burns Chronicle” 1892 – 2005 Compiled by Bill Dawson A “Merry Dint” Publication 2006 The Burns Chronicle commenced publication in 1892 to fulfill the ambitions of the recently formed Burns Federation for a vehicle for “narrating the Burnsiana events of the year” and to carry important articles on Burns Clubs and the developing Federation, along with contributions from “Burnessian scholars of prominence and recognized ability.” The lasting value of the research featured in the annual publication indicated the need for an index to these, indeed the 1908 edition carried the first listings, and in 1921, Mr. Albert Douglas of Washington, USA, produced an index to volumes 1 to 30 in “the hope that it will be found useful as a key to the treasures of the Chronicle” In 1935 the Federation produced an index to 1892 – 1925 [First Series: 34 Volumes] followed by one for the Second Series 1926 – 1945. I understand that from time to time the continuation of this index has been attempted but nothing has yet made it to general publication. I have long been an avid Chronicle collector, completing my first full set many years ago and using these volumes as my first resort when researching any specific topic or interest in Burns or Burnsiana. I used the early indexes and often felt the need for a continuation of these, or indeed for a complete index in a single volume, thereby starting my labour. I developed this idea into a guide categorized by topic to aid research into particular fields.
