Everybody understood them, everybody enjoyed them; all were proud that Scotland should havef produced a Burns, that he should reflect' so much and so expressly national renown j on his country, and that themselves should! be the sons of such a land, and compatriots ofsuchaman. "At the present time of day it would be almost a futility to analyze... the individual or characteristic merits of the: poems of Burns. Every Scotchman is born to an intuition of them; which is as much as saying: that whatever is strongest, deepest, broadest and finest, in that remarkable concrete the Scotch national character, finds its euthanasia in these immortal verses. The ideal Scotchman is the man to whom Eurns' poems most come home. They give all his distinctive faculties and foibles; cnJy with this modification necessary to tbf excellence of the poetic resull; that the prerlential and prosaic attributes, what one might call the minus quantities, of the Scotch character are left in proportion of less than reality, while the plus quantities, the geniality, fervancy and jeven rampaney, of whatever kind, are thrown in with a prodigal and affectionate\���r jexubereiice.
