Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Robert Burns and Mrs. Dunlop, Vol. 2 of 2: Correspondence Now Published for the First Time Five days in the week, or four at least, I must be on horseback, and very frequently ride thirty or forty miles ere I return; besides four different kinds of book-keeping to post every day. Still, Madam, be not afraid, as you are pleased to express so much satisfaction in my correspondence, that this additional hurry will in the least detach my heart from that friendship with which you have honored me, or even abridge my letters; though it must at times prevent the regularity of my answers to yours. I hold the epistles of a Friend to be the Sacraments of Friendship. To deface or destroy the shortest Billet of yours would shock my feelings as glaring Sacriledge. In this country we are just now Election-mad. Sir Jas. Johnston, the present Member for the Boroughs, has now opposite interests to the Great Man of this place, Queens- Berry.I His Grace is keenly attached to the Buff and blue Party: renegadoes and apostates are, you know, always keen. My Landlord´s Son, a young Officer of twenty, is his Grace´s creature, and is supported by the Foxites; Sir James, on the other hand, is backed by Ministerial influence. The Boroughs are much divided, and veer about with much uncertainty: the weight of the arguments of the several Candidates will determine their success. I tell you all this insignificant stuff to enable you to understand the following Ballad which I have just composed on the occasion. The Boroughs are Dumfries; Lochmaben, a small old town once the private residence of Robt. Bruce, and romantically situated among six or seven little lakes; Annan, Kircudbright and Sanquhar, near which is the old castle of the Crightons.
