1 Bobert Burns. [Vol. i.] La Vie. [Vol. ii.] Les (Euvres. Auguste Angellier. Paris : Hachette & Co. 1893.' Large 8vo. pp. .1038. Remarkable as containing the most comprehensive life of Burns yet published, and a lengthy description and criticism of Scottish poetry prior to Burns. Angellier does not claim Burns as a Frenchman, but he thinks that he is more French than English.

A small surreptitious 18mo volume of 127 pages without Imprint or date, containing about ninety songs assumed to be copied from a private manuscript volume which Burns intended to destroy, and which it is believed does not now exist.
