Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 1: With a Sketch of the Author´s Life Since the appearance of the Aldine Edition of the Poems of Burns, great exertions have been made to obtain materials for a more complete collection of his works than had hitherto been given to the world. With this object, upwards of Two Hundred Letters or Poems, in Burns´ own hand-writing, were purchased, many of which had never been printed; while some of those that had been already published afford important variations, and occasionally supply even entire stanzas. The possession of these valuable manuscripts led to the resolution of giving, for the first time, a collection of Burns´ Poems containing all the variations in the text which were either found in former editions, or supplied by the new matter thus obtained. Before explaining the plan which has been adopted, it may be desirable to notice the editions printed in the lifetime, and under the superintendence of the Poet.
