Excerpt from Robert Burns and the Medical Profession

In the execution of my task, the materials for which are, in many instances, difficult to find, and not always accessible, I have tried to state the case temperately and fairly for all concerned. How far I have succeeded, the reader must be the judge.

That these pages are a perfect or complete statement of the inquiry, Robert Burns and the Medical Profession, I do not for a moment contend. In my researches amid Burns bibliographies, library catalogues, and other dry-as-dust out of-the-way nooks and corners of book-shelves, it is probable that I have missed out some contribution but the statement is as complete as, with care and labour, I have been able to make it.

Excerpt from Robert Burns and the Medical Profession

I was asked, some time ago, at a Burns Anniversary Celebration, to reply to the toast of the Medical Profession; and in casting about in my mind what to say in justification of the honour, it occurred to me that the name of the Bard was associated with the medical faculty in a much more intimate manner than at first sight appeared, or was even generally understood; and that it was, therefore, a not inappropriate toast to be proposed at a gathering of Burns admirers.

Afterwards, pursuing the same train of thought, and going deeper into the subject, I soon became convinced of the accuracy of my conjecture - that, indeed, the field, if somewhat circumscribed, was so rich in materials and interest, that justice could not be done to it within the prescribed limits assigned either to an after-dinner toast or in a reply to the same. A lecture, or even a book, as the matter grew under my hand, seemed the likelier and the truer destination to which its dimensions should reach.
