The poems and songs of Scotland's national poet, arranged year by year from his boyhood verses in 1771 to his death in 1796. The Scots words are kept as he wrote them, and the notes gloss the hard ones. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
