Letters of Robert Burns, 1780-1789

The endnotes have been expanded to indicate letters to which Burns's are answers as well as answers received by Burns to the letters he sent. An appendix contains Currie's List of Lettersto Burns, a document of major importance as it represents a selection of letters that were in the poet's possession at the time of his death.Burns, Robert is the author of 'Letters of Robert Burns, 1780-1789', published 1971 under ISBN 9780403008841 and ISBN 0403008840.
