From the moment the chain of office was placed on my shoulders I found that I had, in some ways, stepped back in time and I was once again a student of life, a learning experience that even my working career within the Police service had left me totally unprepared. The past year has been a truly wonderful experience and I have been humbled by the amount of genuine people that I have had the pleasure to be associated with. During my extensive travels I have attended countless functions each of which has had its own special uniqueness, but the most memorable and rewarding have to be those functions involving schoolchildren. Our Schools Committee's handling of Burns Competitions and National Festivals are indeed a credit to our organisation, as are our Schools Burns Clubs and their involvement indeed indicates that our future heritage and history are to be left in capable hands. Our organisation has made some gigantic steps over the past year with our change of name to The Robert Burns World Federation Ltd. and the implantation of full Charitable Status, changes undertaken to allow our future survival within a very competitive world. Support, understanding, encouragement and commitment are some of the key elements now required from our membership in order to achieve our aims and I trust that we shall be collectively committed to developing the full potential of the legacy left to us by Robert Burns. Then catch the moments as they fly And use them as you ought man Believe me happiness is shy And comes not ay' when sought man May I thank all members and clubs for their support during my year as President and I would forward to my successor my good wishes for a successful and pleasurable term in office. 3 FROM THE EDITOR hi s is the last edition or the Hums Chronicle thi s century. a spec ial ·Mil lennium Edition· dated 2000 will be published later that year.

  • 1. August Angellier in Robert Burns, La Vie, Les Oeuvres, 2 Vols (Paris
    Notes CHAPTER 1 THE EARLY PERIOD: BURNS' INTUITIVE USE OF SCOTTISH TRADITION 1. August Angellier in Robert Burns, La Vie, Les Oeuvres, 2 vols (Paris, 1983) pointed to this when he said: 'But underneath this scholarly poetry there existed a popular poetry which was very abundant, very vigorous, very racy and very original'. See especially p. 14 of Jane Burgoyne's selected translation from Angellier in the Burns Chronicle and Club Directory, 1969. Other portions of the translation appeared in 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973. 2. J. De Lancey Ferguson (ed.) The Letters of Robert Burns, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1931), 1: 106, no. 125. Burns adopted a superior tone here in keeping with the accepted pose of the eighteenth-century man of letters. All references to Burns' letters are to Ferguson's edition. Only letter numbers will be given when the citation appears in the text proper. 3. Most critics and students of Burns take some stance towards his relationship with previous work. Hans Hecht, Robert Burns: The Man and His Work, 2nd rev. ed. (London: William Hodge & Company, 1950), p. 29, suggests that Burns was the culmination of a tradition, but he speaks of a literary rather than a cultural inheritance. 4. See T. S. Eliot, The Sacred Wood (London: Methuen, 1950), pp. 47-59. 5. Angellier earlier suggested this division and I agree with him that Burns' work prior to Edinburgh was dominated by depiction of the world around him. After Edinburgh, Angellier indicates that Burns relied less on the specific incidents and more on general sentiments.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. 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.

  • 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.

Montgomery How Robert Burns Captured America Before America discovered Robert Bums, Robert Bums had discovered America. This self-described ploughman poet knew well the surge of freedom which dominated much of Europe and North America in the waning days of the eight­ eenth century. Bums understood the spirit and the politics of the fledgling United States. He studied the battles of both ideas and infantry. Check your knowledge of American history against Bums's. These few lines from his "Ballad on the American War" trace the Revolution from the Boston Tea Party, through the Colonists' invasion of Canada, the siege of Boston, the stalemated occupation of Philadelphia and New York, the battle of Saratoga, the southern campaign and Clinton's failure to support Cornwallis at Yorktown. Guilford, as in Guilford Court House, was the family name of Prime Minister Lord North. When Guilford good our Pilot stood, An' did our hellim thraw, man, Ae night, at tea, began a plea, Within America, man: Then up they gat to the maskin-pat, And in the sea did jaw, man; An' did nae less, in full Congress, Than quite refuse our law, 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. On view from December 9, 2011 at noon, through February 5, 2012, the exhibition features rare printed editions, a manuscript of the song in the poet’s Robert Burns (1759–1796) own hand, and selections from the Morgan’s important Engraved portrait by Paton Thomson London and Edinburgh: Published by collection of Burns letters—the largest in the world.
