BURNS'S LETTERS.
THE LETTERS OF ROBERT BURNS,
SELECTED AND ARRANGED,
WITH AN INTRODUCTION,
BY J. LOGIE ROBERTSON, M.A.

"You shall write whatever comes first,--what you see, what you read,
what you hear, what you admire, what you dislike; trifles, bagatelles,
nonsense, or, to fill up a corner, e'en put down a laugh at full
length"--Burns.
"My life reminded me of a ruined temple: what strength, what
proportion in some parts! what unsightly gaps, what prostrate ruin in
others!"--Burns.
