A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Notes of Robert Burns in an interleaved copy of the first four volumes of Johnson s Scots Musical Museum, which belonged to Robert Riddell of Glenriddell, the friend and neighbour of Burns at Ellisland. Then follow (II) the Notes written by Riddell in the same volumes. The interleaves in the volumes being incomplete, I have described (III) the missing leaves, with the songs which faced them in the volumes, with a copy of three important notes which R. C. Cromek inserted in his Reliques of Robert Burns, 1808, as from the hand of Burns. Obviously these cannot be verified. The last part (IV) consists of a series of spurious notes, also printed by Cromek in the Reliques. These are not in the volumes, and never were there. The object of the present small book is simply to correct the misleading statements of Cromek, whose work was received with acclamation, and was so successful that a second edition was printed in 1809. In the year 1813 it was again published as the fifth volume of Currie s Works of Robert Burns, and the Notes now referred to, being a considerable and important part of the volume, have remained, and have been accepted as the authentic writing of the poet.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
