Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 4 of 6: With His Life It is intimated by Currie that Burns "contributed songs liberally to Johnson´s Musical Museum; but, in the communications to which his name was not in general affixed, he was less careful than in the lyrics written for the greater work of Thomson. Several of them he never intended to acknowledge, and others were found somewhat altered afterwards among his manuscripts." Cromek speaks more plainly: - "Burns contributed, gratuitously, not less than one hundred and eighty-four original, altered, and collected songs. The Editor has seen one hundred and eighty transcribed by his own hand for the Museum." Both might have added that the prefaces to the second, third, and fourth volumes were written by the Poet, and that to his industry we owe many of the truly original airs with which the publication abounds. Of the one hundred and sixty lyrics which this volume contains, not more than seventy will be found in Carriers octavos; and it may be safely re-asserted that "the reader will probably think many of these songs among the finest productions of the Poet´s Muse."
