Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect

Robert Burns, 1786

BURNS, Robert (1759-1796). Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect. Kilmarnock: John Wilson, 1786.



The rare Kilmarnock edition of Burns’s first book, one of 612 copies printed. The 44 poems in this volume represent virtually all forms of verse ever attemped by Burns. In the preface, the poet presents himself as one who is "unacquainted with the necessary requisites for commencing Poet by rule," and instead "sings the sentiments and manners, he felt and saw in himself and his rustic compeers around him, in his and their native language." Published in late July 1786, all but 13 copies of the Kilmarnock Burns were sold within a month, winning him sincere local admiration before the second edition (Edinburgh, 1787) of 3000 copies won him wider recognition. Egerer 1; Rothschild 555.



Octavo (205 x 121mm). Title within typographical border, typographical head- and tail-pieces (a few spots). 19th-century red morocco by Riviere, edges gilt. Red morocco pull-off box by Riviere.
