Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 6 The present volume, which completes the editor´s work, represents the Dumfries period, or closing five years of the life and labours of Burns. When the publisher´s prospectus of this edition was issued, a division into three volumes of poetry and three of prose was adopted, on the calculation that the space required for the latter would be rather less than that occupied by the former, with the relative notes. The result however is, that the prose writings of the Bard considerably exceed his poetry in bulk, which fact has involved the necessity, on the editor´s part, of using the utmost brevity in his own annotations. This unlooked-for limitation of space must also be accepted as a fair excuse for the non- appearance of the promised Essay by Professor Nichol of Glasgow, on the Poet´s "Life, Character, and Literary Influence." There may, after all, be small ground for regret that in these volumes Burns is allowed to be so much his own interpreter and biographer; for little was really wanting beyond an accurate chronological arrangement and full record of his writings, to convey a thorough apprehension of the author´s unique qualities, both literary and personal. In this view, the vast importance of rectifying false dates to the bard´s letters, and restoring wilful alterations and suppressions of essential portions of his genuine writings, must be apparent.
