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. Annual Reports, and other business matters of the Burns Federation are not included, neither are annual Club reports and other ephemeral items of short term or otherwise limited interest. Where a Club is mentioned in the main body of an article and the item contains matter of a broader interest then this may have been included. Obituaries are generally not included although tributes to notable Burnsian personalities and scholars are. Subjects are grouped according to themes, and within these headings there is some gathering by topic. Some items may be listed more than once in an effort to cross refer. There are minor variations in the layout of the listings; the logic of this is to assist the lay reader in the pursuit of an interest, using my own unrefined research method as a model. Titles in inverted commas are generally original works of verse or prose. There is an Authors index to the rear of the subjects, writers of book reviews are not listed there, nor is the Editor of the day generally given as author. Throughout notes in brackets are generally my additions. The Chronicle has been issued in a succession of “series” but for simplicity only the year of publication is used for reference here. Initially the Chronicle was published on 25th January, continuing annually until 1950 when the title changed to “The Scots Chronicle” for 1951, reverting in 1952 and continuing to 1991. Items for these editions are shown simply with the year followed by the page number. In mid 1991 it became a quarterly publication, August, November, February and May, through until August 1994 with one last in December 1994 when the quarterly Chronicle ceased. These editions are shown A1991, N1991, F1992, and M1992 etc. with the pages numbers which ran consecutively through the four numbers of the annual volume, August-May. A Chronicle was issued in December 1995 returning to the single annual volume into 1996 and on until 2001. The 1996 bicentenary edition contained a separately number Pictorial Review, and items from this are shown with PR prefixing the page number. In late 2002 the split returned in a three issue per annum format designated Autumn, Winter, and Spring. Years are therefore suffixed with A, W or S, these editions are paginated individually. I trust you can follow these references. I sincerely hope that enthusiasts and scholars of Burns will find this directory of assistance to them in tracing the varied articles of value that have appeared in the Chronicle over the 114 years covered here, and that many others will discover the hidden gems that are in the past Chronicles.

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

PREFACE. Of the numerous biographers of the poet Burns, few have dilated on his lineage. Some doubtless felt that his position might not be elevated by any pedigree, however famous. Others may have been content to hold that himself being in lowly circumstances, any inquiry as to his progenitors would be useless and unprofitable. By his biographer Dr Currie he is described as " in reality a peasant." What in respect of descent Burns really was these Memoirs will show. Bemotely sprung from a landed stock, his im- mediate ancestors were yeomen, at first opvdent, latterly the reverse. The family had produced another poet, the author of "Thrummy Cap;" but decided indications of intellectual activity did not appear in the house till subsequent to the marriage of the poet's paternal grandfather. The wife of this person was of the family of Keith of Craig, a branch of the house of Keith-Marischal.

His letters repay scrutiny in terms of the various qualities they reveal: the reflection of the wide range of Burns’s reading, his remarkable powers of recall, and his capacity for mimicry; the diversity of voices and styles employed, indicating a considerable dramatic talent; the narrative verve and mastery of rhetoric that mark him out as the novelist manqué; and the psychological implications, in that the chameleon capacity of Burns the writer exacerbates the problems of identity of Burns the man.

  • Auld Lang Syne, 1799–1999
    Press Contacts Patrick Milliman 212.590.0310, [email protected] Alanna Schindewolf 212.590.0311, [email protected] POET ROBERT BURNS AND THE CREATION OF THE BELOVED NEW YEAR’S EVE SONG “AULD LANG SYNE” IS THE SUBJECT OF A NEW EXHIBITION AT THE MORGAN LIBRARY & MUSEUM SHOW INCLUDES A RARE MANUSCRIPT OF “AULD LAND SYNE” IN BURNS’S HAND, A CACHE OF HIS LETTERS RELATED TO ITS ORIGIN, AND EARLY PRINTED EDITIONS OF THE SONG Robert Burns and “Auld Lang Syne” December 9, 2011–February 5, 2012 New York, NY, December 6, 2011—Each New Year’s Eve, millions raise their voices in a chorus of “Auld Lang Syne,” standing with friends and looking back with nostalgia on days past. But how did a traditional Scots folk song—with lyrics that many people scarcely understand—emerge as one of the world’s most enduring popular songs? It was Robert Burns (1759–1796), the great eighteenth-century Scottish poet, who transformed the old verses into the version we know today. Robert Burns and “Auld Lang Syne” at The Morgan Library & Museum untangles the complex origins of the song that has become, over time, a globally shared expression of friendship and longing.
