SEQUEL TO THE WORKS OF BURNS.
Second edition, in one vol. 12mo. Price $1 00, muslin.
THE LIFE AND LAND OF BURNS,
By Allan Cunningham, with contributions by Thomas Campbell, Esq., Author of “The Pleasures of Hope,” to which is prefixed an Essay on the Genius and Writings of Burns, by Thomas Carlyle, Esq.
“This book is invaluable as completing the works of Burns, and as being also illustrative of them.”—Cincinnati Gazette.
“Written with all a poet’s thought and feeling.”—Tattler.
“Another tribute to the memory of one of the truest poets that the world, perhaps, has ever seen. This posthumous volume will be regarded of peculiar and permanent value, as being a sequel to all editions of the writings of the poet extant, to which it is the clue for their complete elucidation. The Essay of Carlyle, included in the present work, is a splendid effort, and among the finest specimens of this original and beautiful writer. The work will commend itself not only to every son of Scotia, but to all the admirers of poetry throughout our far-spread borders.”—New World.
“All the admirers of Scotland’s sweetest bard—and who will acknowledge that he is not one—will be delighted with this volume, filled as it is with various reminiscences and particulars about him, that have never before appeared. It would be enough to say that it is a joint tribute to the memory of the poet of nature, by Cunningham, Campbell, and Carlyle; but it has even more than this to recommend it. It has several original letters, never before published in this country, and is altogether one of the pleasantest books that have appeared for a long while.”—N. Y. Review.
