Excerpt from Representative Poems of Robert Burns With Carlyle's Essay on Burns: Edited With Introductions, Notes, and Vocabulary The memory of Burns, every man's. Every boy's and girl 's head carries snatches of his songs, and they say them by heart, and, what is strangest of all, never learned them from a book, but from mouth to mouth. The wind whispers them, the birds whistle them, the corn, barley, and bulrushes hoarsely rustle them, nay, the music boxes at Geneva are framed and toothed to play them, the hand organs of the Savoyards in all Cities repeat them, and the Chimes of bells ring them in the Spires. They are the property and the solace of mankind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
