    8] ALDINE EDITION OF BURNS. Preparing for publication, in Three Vols. price 15s. @ COMPLETE Edition of the Poems und CORRESPONDENCE of ROBERT BURNS. with a Memoir and PorTRAIT. THE success which has attended the AtpinE Epition of the POEMS OF BURNS has induced the Publisher to print a complete Collection of all that Poet’s produc- ‘tions. With this object no expense has been spared in procuring Burns’ Original Manuscripts ; and the fact that the Publisher has in his possession nearly Two HUN- | DRED LETTERS or POEMS, IN BURNS’ OWN HAND, must, it is confidently presumed, establish the superior claim of this edition of his Works to the attention of the Public. The MS. of the Poems afford many important variations, and in some cases even supply entire stanzas ; whilst the MS. of the Letters prove, not only that Dr. Currie often suppressed important passages, but that he printed some of Burns’ most interesting Letters in a mutilated and imperfect manner: hence in numerous instances the admirers of Burns will now, for the first time, have the gratification of reading his Letters, not as his Editors have thought proper to print, but as the Poet actually wrote them. Vol. I and II. will contain the Poems and Sones of Burns, with a Memoir written for this edition, and Portrait. Vol. III. will contain the CorrESPONDENCE of Burns. This Volume will be sold separately to complete the first Aldine edition. * .* With the view of ensuring an accurate edition of the Works of Burns, the Publisher respectfully solicits of those Gentlemen who possess the Original MS. of any Letter or Poem of Burns, the favour of the loan of it for a few hours only. The MS. shall be returned with the greatest care and punctuality. Shortly will be published, A CATALOGUE OF OLD BOOKS ON SALE By WILLIAM PICKERING.
