Excerpt from A Sacramental Directory, or a Treatise Concerning the Sanctification of a Communion Sabbath It being our great business in the world, to promote God's glory and our own salvation, and, in order thereto, to seek acquaintance with and secure an interest in the Lord Jesus Christ (the sole mediator betwixt God and men), and also to labor for the comfortable persuasion and assurance of this interest, it hath pleased God, for our assistance in this matter, graciously to prescribe to us the use of several outward means, as the word, sacraments and prayer, and also to promise the inward influence of his Holy Spirit, for making these means effectual for the ends aforesaid, to such as conscientiously attend them and use them. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper, one of these means, being instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ, as a bright representation and compend of the whole Christian religion, and an ordinance nobly adapted for carrying on the ends of God's glory, and our soul's salvation, and particularly for clearing up our interest in Christ, and improving our acquaintance with him, it highly concerns every Christian to make conscience of attending in a due and suitable manner. I have elsewhere shown that the Lord's Day is of divine appointment, and the celebration of the Lord's Supper is the proper work of this day, and one special design of its first institution.

Robert Burns and Pastoral is a full-scale reassessment of the writings of Robert Burns (1759-1796), arguably the most original poet writing in the British Isles between Pope and Blake, and the creator of the first modern vernacular style in British poetry. Although still celebrated as Scotland's national poet, Burns has long been marginalised in English literary studies worldwide, due to a mistaken view that his poetry is linguistically incomprehensible and of interest to Scottish readers only. Nigel Leask challenges this view by interpreting Burns's poetry as an innovative and critical engagement with the experience of rural modernity, namely to the revolutionary transformation of Scottish agriculture and society in the decades between 1760 and 1800, thereby resituating it within the mainstream of the Scottish and European enlightenments. Detailed study of the literary, social, and historical contexts of Burns's poetry explodes the myth of the 'Heaven-taught ploughman', revealing his poetic artfulness and critical acumen as a social observer, as well as his significance as a Romantic precursor. Leask discusses Burns's radical decision to write 'Scots pastoral' (rather than English georgic) poetry in the tradition of Allan Ramsay and Robert Fergusson, focusing on themes of Scottish and British identity, agricultural improvement, poetic self-fashioning, language, politics, religion, patronage, poverty, antiquarianism, and the animal world. The book offers fresh interpretations of all Burns's major poems and some of the songs, the first to do so since Thomas Crawford's landmark study of 1960. It concludes with a new assessment of his importance for British Romanticism and to a 'Four Nations' understanding of Scottish literature and culture.
