[Footnote 1: In this edition, the poems of Burns, unlike those of the
other poets, are printed not in the order of their publication but as
nearly as ascertainable in that of their composition.]
[Footnote 2: _The French Revolution_ was suppressed at the time, and
has been recovered only in our own day by Dr. John Sampson, who first
published it in the admirable Clarendon Press edition of Blake.]
