Content:
Fair copy prepared for publication in the
North American Review
of November 1886 under the title "Robert Burns as Poet and Person." The leaves that make up this manuscript incorporate parts of a previous version, published in the New York
Critic
of December 16, 1882. That essay was itself a revision of an essay published in
Our Land and Time
and the New York
Daily Graphic
on January 25, 1875. The first page of this manuscript bears a note written by James Redpath, the editor of the
North American Review
in 1886. Images of the versos are unavailable because the leaves have been mounted and bound in a volume that also includes a frontispiece from the 1860 edition of
Leaves of Grass
. A note on the volume's cover reads "Presented by James Redpath, to James Fraser Gluck for the Buffalo Library A. D. 1886."
