LESSER SCOTTISH VERSE

I. ROBERT BURNS

A considerable number of the original MS. copies of Burn’s poems and letters are still preserved in public libraries and other institutions. The more important public collections are those in the British Museum (including many of the songs contributed to Johnson’s Scots Musical Museum). The Glenriddel MSS., formerly in the Liverpool Athenaeum, are to be placed in the custody of three trustees, and will be deposited in the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow for alternate periods of five years each.
