Excerpt from Burns and TarboltonAnd, indeed, the two are indissolubly connected, for the man cannot be separated from his surroundings, although he is mostly represented by himself alone, and without that local colouring, which might at once explain and excuse his actions. In this district his life's education may be said to have commenced, for what he after wards developed, it must partly be responsible, so, if the schools in which the immortals are trained be deserving of notice, then surely this college of Tarbolton, through which Burns graduated into manhood, has especial claims to consideration. It is a place of great antiquity, and interesting for its own sake in many ways, and, While its manners and customs are worth studying, as part'of our national social life - its connection with our national poet makes them still more so.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
