UNREAD. In the last month of his life Robert Burns wrote to James Johnson, publishers of The Scots Musical Museum @I will venture to prophesy, that to future ages your Publication will be the text book and standard of Scottish Song and Music.' Posterity has endosed this judgement. Burns was a song-writer and editor of genius, and his contribution of more than two hundred original and revised traditional songs places the collection on an artistic level unmatched by any other. This edition includes and index of Burns' contributions, with a full critical introduction by a leading scholar in the field. - [Publisher: Scolar Press]
