OF THE LIFE OF BURNS. • •

WITH something ,(If hope and fear, I offer this work to my country. I have en­ deavoured to relate the chequered f9rtunes, delineate the character, and trace the works of the Illustrious Peasant with ~andour and accuracy': his farming'specu­ lations-excise scherots--political feelings and poetic musings--are d~scussed with a fulnes& not common tQ biography: and his sllarp lampoons anll personal sallies are aIluded to with all possible tenderness to the living, and respect f~r the-dead. In writing the .Poet·s life I have availed myself of bis ,unpublished journals-pri­ vate letters, manuscript verses, and of well-authenticated anecdotes and trails of character supplied by his friends; an.d I have arranged his wor,ks as much as might be in the order of their composition, and illustrated them with ·such notes, critical, historical and l>iographical, as seemed necessary. Of verse, one hundred and odd pieces will be found in this edition, Whicll are no~ in Currie's octavos. The number of letters, too, is materially lncreased-but ~othing, is admitted which bears not the true Burns' stamp. A. C. BELGRAVE-PLACE, JanUllry 1, 1834.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.

WHEN this Memoir and c;hronological Edition of the works of Burns were first announced, a friend observed that the learned part' of the world, he was afraid, might think they had enough of the Peasal1t Poet already, and look coldly on any attempt to associate him in beauty of embeIlisbment and elegance of exterior with bards " :far seen in Greek, deep 'men IlCletters." " My chief dread is," I replied," that my labours'in the cause of the Poet may not be acceptable: I have no fear for llurns-he will take care of himself." It baa not bappened 'otherwise with the Poet thl~n I Ilnticipated: nor have my own exertions been, it appears, unwelcome: six thousand copies of the Life.1 have been disposed or, alld a new Q lition is called for: l now give it to ,the world, with Bome of the ~rrors in th! first editi!)n corrected. an.d all such new intelligence added as seemed useful and characteristic. A. C; BELGRAVE-PLACE, September, 1835. fB-'_ ~o======@ n I

HIS genius was universal. In satire, in humour, in pathos, in description, in sentiment; he was eq1lally great: but his satire and his humour partake of the soil whence they 'sprung. They are rude, forceful, and manly: they are not polishedtnto 'elegance, nor laboure(! into ease; but in every composition I am inclined to regard him as one of the few geniuses who arise to illumi­ nate the hemisphere of mind. Education bad nothing in the forlI!-ation of his character; what he wrote 'was the pure offspring of native genius: and if we reflect bow excellent he was in all;- what various powers he bas shewn in paths tbat are amongst the higbest of poetical delineation; we may, witbout much 'offence to justice, place 111m by the side of' tbe greatest names this country bas produced.
