Book Description
Excerpt from Robert Burns and Mrs. Dunlop, Vol. 1 of 2: Correspondence Now Published in Full for the First Time Students of Burns will be interested, in the first place, to know what light the Lochryan mss. Throw on the cause of that unhappy episode in the poet's life. The point is fully discussed in the text (vol. Ii. P. 289, but it may be said generally that a broad view of the complete Correspondence, now possible for the first time, strongly favours the theory that Mrs. Dunlop's failure to answer Burns's letters of 1795 and 1796 was due to inadvertence rather than to any offence he could, consciously or unconsciously, have given her, and that if pique influenced her that is to say, if her silence was caused by his failure to answer promptly the last letter she sent him from London in January of 1795 - his previous negligence had afforded her at least a pretext for the severe punishment she inflicted. A glance at the table of dates (infra) will show which of the two had the better reason, on the whole, to reproach the other with neglect.

Book Description
Excerpt from Robert Burns and Mrs. Dunlop: Correspondence Now Published in Full for the First Time, With Elucidations The new matter is otherwise remarkably rich in fresh biographical details, in illustration not only of the relations between the two friends, but also of the poet's character, walk, and conversation, and in material for study of the text of numerous poems. It reveals the fact that it was at least within the bounds of possibility that Burns might have been a military officer, and alterna tively a professor in the University of Edinburgh, and that Adam Smith, who has not hitherto been known to have taken much interest in him, conceived at a very early date the idea of making him a Salt Officer in the Customs service at a salary of g 30 a year. Burns certainly dallied with the notion of taking a stand of colours, and uncommon pains were taken by Mrs. Dunlop and Dr. Moore to procure for him the nomina tion to the Chair of Agriculture in Edinburgh, which was founded in 1787. Much that is new is brought out as to his connection with the Excise for example, the fact that he aimed from the first at a port-officer ship with its superior emoluments, the probable date of his initiation into his profession, Corbet's services to him, and so forth.
