About this Item

8vo. pp.vi + 173 + vii. index and 14 black & white illustrations, Previous owners stamp on enpapers, some rubbing and fading to spine and upper board, Internally very good, "Burn's biographers have treated timidly and reluctantly the circumstances of his quarrel with Maria Riddell. The accepted account of the act which led to the breach is thus summed up by Henley and Henderson: . At a party at Woodley Park ,in January in the dining-room.The talk ran on the rape of the Sabines, and they seem to have gone to the drawing-room with the design of giving a friendly imitation of the Romans.This,so far as can be divined, they did: Burns-who was in liquor,and may well have lost his head in other ways- laying rude hands on his hostess.
