Excerpt from Representative Poems of Robert Burns: With Carlyle's Essay on Burns Phillips Brooks, in speaking of a biography, once said to the Phillips Exeter boys, Your reading will be a live thing if you can feel the presence of your two companions, and make them, as it were, feel yours. Carlyle has introduced us to Burns so happily that there is no excuse for our not following this and another suggestion given in the same lec ture: Never lay the biography down until the man is a living, breathing, acting person. Then you may close and lose and forget the book the man is yours forever. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
