Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 1 of 4: With an Account of His Life, Criticism on His Writings, &C, &C When this edition of Burns was first announced, six volumes, it was calculated, would contain all that was desirable to publish of his writings. But the success of the first volume opened new sources of intelligence - so many new poems, new songs, new letters, and new anecdotes were supplied, that the Editor began to feel the necessity of extending the limits of his undertaking. Nor was this all: the propriety of forming a more ample Glossary was pressed upon him by his friends in whose judgment he has confidence; while, at the same time, he was stimulated to exertion by other publishers, who menaced him with rival editions of the Poet, conducted by editors of great powers and original resources. To render his own edition of his favorite bard acceptable to his country is his most anxious wish; and he hopes, though living at a distance from "The land of Burns," and much employed in other pursuits, he will be found have done his duty, and also to have rendered the triumph of his opponents at least a matter of doubt. To enable the Editor to do justice to the genius of Burns, he must give him at full length, and extend the work to Eight [Four] Volumes.
