Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Burns and Mrs. Dunlop, Vol. 1 of 2: Correspondence Now Published in Full for the First Time These volumes contain ninety-six letters that passed, in the course of their ten years' friendship, between Burns and Mrs. Dunlop. Currie, in his Works of Robert Burns (1800), printed thirty-nine letters of Burns to Mrs. Dunlop; Cromek, in his Reliques, printed three more; and Scott-Douglas, in his Works of Robert Burns (1877), added a fourth from a MS. of Mr. Locker-Lampson's. The Lochryan MSS., now in the possession of Mr. R. B. Adam, of Buffalo, N. Y., contain thirty-eight more original holograph letters and parts of letters from the poet to Mrs. Dunlop, together with MSS. of several of the Poems, and ninety-seven letters from Mrs. Dunlop to Burns. The whole of these, old and new, have been reproduced here with the utmost possible correctness; the few lacunae ascertained and conjectured are indicated. Four of the letters printed by Currie have been collated with the original MSS. in the collection of Mr. Adam, and the emendations and additions thence derived are of particular interest, both in themselves and as illustrations of Currie's editorial method.
