20 From Sir Walter Scott, Bart.

O Edinburgh, 44th November, 1829.
"I am much gratified by the sight of the Portrait of Robert Burns.
I saw that distinguished Poet only once, and that many years since;
and being a bad marker of likenesses, and recollector of faces, I should,
in any ordinary case, have hesitated to offer an opinion upon the re-
semblance, especially as I make no pretensions to judge of the Fine
Arts. But Burns was so remarkable a man, that his features remain
impressed on my mind as if I had seen him only yesterday; and I
could not hesitate to recognise this portrait as a striking resemblance
of the Poet, though it had been presented to me amid a whole exhi-
bition. I will accept of the inscription which you tell me the Pro-
prietors intend putting to the Engraving, as a great honour.

I say it recalls to my mind completely the appearance of the Poet, with whom I was intimately acquainted during the latter years of his life. I prefer it greatly to Mr Nasmyth's Portrait.

I am of opinion, that the Hkeness, even in this respects must have been correct at the time it was taken.

IT Bank Street, Edinburgh, 18th November, 1829. "In reference to the Portrait of Burns, I beg to mention, that my acquaintance with the Poet was limited to the last four years of his painted in 1786, when Burns was in full vilife. This Picture was gour; but, in my opinion, it exhibits a strong likeness of him in his quiet moments, and unquestionably is the best Portrait of Burns I have ever seen!! to 200gr D. BRIDGES, Jun."

93, Street, Edinburgh, 18th November, 1829. "You desire me to give my opinion of the Portrait of Burns you some time ago sent to me. I think it extremely like him, and that there can be no doubt about its authenticity. The first time I saw Burns, was shortly after he wrote the letter to my father, printed in Dr Currie's edition of his works; he was then older-looking than his age, and handsome.d of more of ou borg 1983 CHAS.

"Albany Place, Dumfries, 4th November, 1829. "Miss Dunlop was in the habit of seeing the Poet frequently, from the time of his first publication at Kilmarnock, till the time of his death, and his was not a face to be forgotten. Yet, since then, it has not been placed so brightly before her mind's eye,' as on opening the box containing this Portrait."

TRI Gentlemen Observing that Dam mentioned in the EDINBURGH
LITERARY JOURNAL, as having some reminiscence about the late
Mr Taylor's picture of Burns, I deem it incumbent on me to state all
that I recollect about it, which certainly is of some avail, should
there be any doubts about the originality of the portrait.

"On the 26th of January, 1812, was sent for to Mr Gray's house,
at St Leonard's where 4 found him and Mr Ainslie, Mr Gilbert
Burns, a Mr Smith, and several others, all busy consulting how best
some fair copy from Nasmyth's not thinking it possible that a por-
to get a sight of an original Portrait of Burns, said to be then in
Edinburgh. I laughed at the conceit, believing it to be a hoax, and
trait of our great lyrical Bard could have so long been concealed,
after every thing relating to him had been ransacked to the founda-
tion. Mr Gray, however, had learned the whole history of the
thing, and re-assured us of the truth of it, but at the same time add-
ed, that the widow.lady to whom it belonged had, of late years, re-
of attaining our purpose, was to make interest with Miss Dudgeon,
fused even to show it to any person, and that the only possible way

already been off in search of Miss Dudgeon, but had missed her; he,
with Mrs Izett and the late Mrs Brunton, went along with Gray, and
however, learned that she was to be at such a
that day, having met Miss Dudgeon several times
when we mentioned the name of Mr Gilbert Burns, Miss Dudgeon
said that altered the case materially: for such was Mrs Taylor's ve-
we found the lady. At first she said it was in vain ever to ask it; but
neration for the memory of the Bard, that the very curiosity to see
his brother would ensure our reception, and she desired us to come
at two, and she would ensure us a sight of the picture. B
We accordingly went at the hour, and who the gentlemen were
beside those mentioned I cannot recollect, but I know there were
either six or seven of Burns's personal acquaintances. I think Mr

West Register Street, there we found our ciceroni and Mrs Taylor,
a decent
cent widow lady past middle life. She was retiring and diffident
spoke but little. The first thing she did was to
in her
ask, who of us was the brother of Burns Mr Gray bade her find
that out; and although the room was small and rather crowded, she
soon fixed on Gilbert Burns, and laying her hand on his arm, and
so soon; and when Mr Gray asked by
the d
e discovery so
what features she knew him, she replied, "She would soon show him
looking in his face, said. Is this no him? She was rather proud of
that; and taking a key out of a private drawer, she opened an upper
having
leaf of a clothes press; from that she took

up in silver paper. It she took a portrait of Burns, carefully folled use box, and from that was kit-kat size, half-length, with buckskin breeches, blue coat, and broad high-crowned bat. Mr Gray at first sight exclaimed, Glorious! Glorious! Burns every inch Every feature! Mrs Taylor, mouth. Mr Gilbert Burns said, "It is particularly like Robert in the form and air; with regard to venial faults, I care not." These were that is quite a treasure." Mr Ainslie made some remarks about the his first words, or very near them. He looked long and fondly at it, and listened with earnest attention to Mrs Taylor's relation of its over night, and that Burns, of his own accord, had attached himself very much to her husband, for he never wantit the good heart and execution. She said, Mr Burns and Peter had been in a large party the good humour, poor fellow That on parting, Peter invited the Poet to breakfast the next day. He came, and that very day the portrait was begun after breakfast; Burns having sat an hour to the artist. He came a second day to breakfast, and sat an hour; and a chat with the Poet. She related to Mr Gilbert Burns a number of third day, which being the last day Burns had to spare, he had to sit his brother's sayings at these interviews, but they were about people rather long, and Mr Taylor caused her (Mrs Taylor) to come in and I did not know, and have forgot them. They were of no avail. "All that I can say of the portrait is, that though I thought it ness in it which I could not discern in the other. I had been accustomed to see old Mrs Burns in Closeburn church every Sabbath-day, hardly so finished a picture as Nasmyth's, I could see a family likefor years, also a sister of the Bard's, who was married there, and Gilthem all. To the youngest sister it had a particular likeness. It is as like one of Gilbert Burns's sons, and very like Gilbert himself in bert Burns was present.

MODE AND TERMS OF PUBLICATION.

I. By augmenting the contents of the page, but without decrezsing the size of the type, the work, while much improved in appearance, will be comprised, notwithstanding the great extension of its matter, in Twenty Quarto Volumes, handsomely printed on paper of a superior quality, twenty volumes of the present being nearly equal to twenty-four of the former Editions. Each volume will consist of 800 pages, containing a much greater quantity of matter than any similar publication; and the Proprietors hold themselves dietinctly pledged to the Public, that the work shall not, on any secount, exceed Twenty-One Volumes; their present confident belief, at the same time, being that it will be completed in Twenty. II. The publication will proceed in Monthly Parts, of which Six First Part will be published on the 31st of March 1830. As the printwill form a volume; each part thus averaging above 133 pages. The ing of the whole will be finished long before the expiration of the period required for issuing the successive Monthly Parts, the Subscribers will have the option, at the close of that operation, of com pleting at once their copies of the work, or of abiding by the publicstion in Parts till the end of the Series.

III. Each Part will be sold for Six Shillings, thus making the price of a quarto volume, of 800 ample pages, only Thirty-Six Shilings-a price very considerably lower than that of any similar publication of the day; and which, when the quantity of Matter in each volume, the quality of Paper and Printing, the numerous Engravings, and the ability of the Articles, are taken into account, must be allowed to place the work in a highly advantageous point of view. Considering its Execution and Extent, it will, indeed, present the cheapest Digest of Human Knowledge that has yet appeared in Britain, in the convenient form of a Dictionary.

THE ROYAL ACADEMY.-Mr M. A. Shee has been chosen President of the Royal Academy by a large majority; and Mr Wilkie has been appointed principal Painter in ordinary to the King, it being understood that the latter declined the fatigues of the Presidency. The new President is known to the public fully as much as a man of letters as an artist. He is the author of "Rhymes on Art," of the tragedy of "Alasco," and of the recent novel of "Oldcourt." His election does not seem to be altogether approved of; but, with the exception of Wilkie, we are not aware that any one now living could fill the place of Sir Thomas Lawrence with the desired eclat.

PROFESSOR LESLIE.-Our readers will be glad to learn, that this eminent Professor announces a Course of Popular Lectures, on various branches of Natural Science. In this subject the Edinburgh ladies take a deep interest, and there is no man by whom they would sooner be initiated into its mysteries than Professor Leslie.

The dinner went off about as well as public dinners generally do.— Braham has been here for the last week, but takes his leave of us this evening. He has drawn fully as good houses as when he was here three months ago, notwithstanding the severity of the weather, and the greater number of private parties at this season. As he has only repeated some of his old characters, we have nothing to add to what we said concerning him when he was last here. Upon leaving Edinburgh he is to visit Aberdeen and other places in the North, and is then to make a pretty extensive tour through the English provinees-Vandenhoff, who has been performing in Dundee and Perth, appears in his favourite part of Coriolanus on Monday, when Miss Jarman also returns.—Alexander has for the present entire possession of Glasgow,-Seymour, the rival manager, having gone to Belfast with Miss Smithson.-The Caledonian Theatre is to re-open early
