Excerpt from The Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 6 Of what is new and distinguishing in the present edition, our readers, who earnestly compare it with earlier ones, must judge for themselves; but regarding our large additions to the author's text, both in poetry and prose, we may here state that, while Cunningham in 1834 boasted of his volumes containing nearly one hundred and fifty pieces of verse beyond those in Currie's octavos, we 1nclude one hundred and thirty more than Cunningham's number. In the prose department we give five hundred and thirty four of the bard's letters, while the full number in Cunning ham's edition is three hundred and twenty-seven, and many of these are considerably abridged.
