Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Robert Burns
Liar not men of reflection think it a superfluous labour to trace the rise and progress ofa character like Robert Burns. Born in the condition ofa peasant, he rose by the force ofhis own mind into distinction and influence; and in his works he has exhibited what are so rarely found, the charms of original genius. With a deep knowledge of the human heart, his poetry exhibits high powers of imagination: it displays, and as it were embalms', the peculiar manners of his country; and it may be considered as a monument, not to his name only, but to the expiring genius of an ancient and once independent nation.
