Printed by Wm Hodge Co Ltd, Glasgow. ISBN 0307 8957 FROM THE EDITOR THE staging of the 1979 Burns Conference in London, Ontario-the .first time our great annual gathering has been held outside the United Kingdom-seems to me to be a good opportunity for dwelling, for a moment, on the Scottishness of North America and the depth of feeling for Burns which has long existed there. Many of us are no doubt familiar with the facts that sixteen American Presidents were of Scots descent, or that Scots like Alexander Hamilton and John Witherspoon were among the architects of American Independence, that John Paul Jones-'Father of the American Navy' hailed from Kirkcudbrightshire and Davy Crockett's family came from the same district. Alexander Graham Bell, who was born in Edinburgh, got the best of both worlds by work­ ing in Boston and vacationing in Baddeck, Nova Scotia. In this, as in much else, Canada tends to be rather overshadowed by her southerly neighbour. The Scottish contribution to Canada is not so well known (at least in Scotland), but it was profound and extensive and, as this Conference proves, is ongoing. William Lyon Mackenzie led the revolt in Upper Canada (now Ontario) against the old colonial Establishment and thus played a part in laying the foundations of the Confederation. The principal architect of Confederation (1867)-the first federal union anywhere in the British Empire-was John Alexander Macdonald (born in Glasgow of Sutherland stock), who became the first federal Prime Minister. He dominated Canadian politics and re­ mained Prime Minister till his death in 1891, with the exception of the Liberal interlude (1873-8) when Alexander Mackenzie from Perthshire was Prime Minister. These two Scots were to Canada what Gladstone and Disraeli were to British politics. Scottish influence extended far beyond the political sphere. Another Alexander Mackenzie (from Stornoway) explored much of the far north and west of Canada. The Earl of Selkirk (whose father was Burns's friend and inspirer of the Selkirk Grace) pioneered the Scottish settlement of Canada from 1803 onwards and eventually won control of the Hudson's Bay Company. Even to this day the Scottish connection with this Company (especially in Orkney) is very strong. John Stewart of Abernethy was a famous fur-trader in the North-West who gave his name to Stewart Lake and Stewart River. His nephew was Donald Alexander Smith of Forres who began as a junior clerk in the Hudson's Bay Company and rose to be governor. En route, he also became the leading light in the Bank of Montreal, the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Pacific Cable Board. The golden spike that completed Canada's first trans-continental railway was hammered home by Donald Smith at a place called Craigellachie in memory of his birthplace in Morayshire. Later, as Lord Strathcona, he became Canadian High Com­ missioner in London and governor of Manitoba. He raised Strathcona's Horse, a cavalry regiment, in the Boer War, founded the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal and endowed many other philanthropic works in both Canada and Scotland. No man did more to tighten the ties which bind Canada and Britain. Strathcona was the epitome of the dour, practical Scot. Robert Burns, however, epito- 4 mises our more sensual, sentimental and sensitive character. In the end, it is a matter for conjecture which will be the more enduring. At the celebrations marking the centenary of our Bard's birth in 1859 Canada was second only to the United States itself in the number and magnificence of its celebrations. In 34 towns, from Aberfoyle to Woodstock in Ontario (or Canada West as it was then known), from Bathurst, New Brunswick to Pictou, Nova Scotia, Scots and admirers of Burns celebrated his birth on a January day which seems to have been remarkably benevolent weatherwise. The lengthiest and most complex celebrations took place in Halifax, Hamilton, Hastings, Montreal, Quebec and Toronto, but in deference to our hosts this year I shall quote extensively from the report of the Anniversary Dinner which took place at the City Hotel, London on 25th January, attended by a company of over 300. 'The wall immediately behind the chair was decorated with banners, flags and paintings. On the right was a large full-length portrait of Her Majesty, and on the left a corresponding one of the Prince Consort. In the centre was suspended the likeness of the immortal bard, over which hung the arms of Scotland. At the other end of the room was placed the green flag of Erin, painted on which was the National Harp, with festoons of shamrocks. The other portions of the walls were covered with Union Jacks, and other flags, and from the ceiling hung a great number of banners. When the company were seated a more interesting scene could scarcely be imagined. John Wilson, Esq., occupied the chair. He was supported on the right by His Worship the Mayor, and on the left by the Rev. Mr. Nicholl. A. Hope, Esq., filled the vice-chair. 'In addition to this festival a number of admirers of the immortal Burns assembled at the Mechanics Institute, where they regaled themselves with tea, etc. Several capital speeches were made and songs sung. They enjoyed themselves very much, and separated at a late hour.' An interesting feature of the Burns celebrations in North America in 1859 was the fact that the transcontinental network of telegraphs, still in its infancy, was kept open all day and night on the 25th for the free transmission of Burns congratulatory telegrams. Have any of these mementoes been preserved, I wonder. Statues of Burns may be seen in the public places of Fredericton, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, while a group showing Burns and Highland Mary graces the drinking fountain in Beacon Park, Victoria, B.C. There may well be others for aught I know. The Mechanics Hall in Hamilton, Ontario, had a fresco portrait of Burns adorning its walls; is it still there? One of the best-loved Canadian poets of the present century was Robert Service, educated in Glasgow and brought up on the works of Burns which undoubtedly influenced his own poetic effusions. Today Burns is alive and well and flour­ ishing in Canada (among other places). As we were going to press I learned that the Canadian authoress Yvonne Stevenson had just published her latest biographical work on Burns and Highland Mary, a review of which will appear in the 1981 Chronicle. Canada possesses a goodly number of Burns clubs and a high degree of organisation, to which the London Conference will doubtless bear witness. I had hoped to be present at the London Conference, but sadly, at a relatively early date, other business commitments intervened and I must make apology for my absence. I had previously invested in an Ameripass runabout ticket, however, and intend to take a three-week vacation in Canada and the United States late September and early October, so perhaps I may have the opportunity of meeting some of our trans-Atlantic Burnsians after all. 11 NEWALL TERRACE, JAMES A.

  • 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.

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.
