Robert Burns - The Letters.
Auld Lang Syne is proud to announce the online
publication of The Letters of Robert Burns 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.
