Excerpt from The Memory of Burns: Brief Addresses Commemorating the Genius of Scotland's Illustrious Bard
Address delivered before the Burns Club of New York at the Centennial Birthday of the Poet, Tuesday, 25th January, 1859.
I Come upon your invitation, gentlemen of the Burns Club, friends and fellow-citizens, to celebrate with one half of the civilised world, and with the whole world of letters, the birth of a farmer's boy, who became a ploughman, a flax-dresser, an exciseman and gauger, and who was reputed also to have become a poet. One hundred years ago, January 25th, 1759, Agnes Brown Burness gave to the world her son, Robert Burns. The father and mother were Scotch. The son only took Scotland on his way into the whole world. While we allow Scotchmen suitable national pride in their chief poet, we cannot allow the world to be robbed of their right and interest in Burns. And yet there never was born to that land, so fertile in men, a truer Scotchman; and it is the peculiar admiration and glory of the man that, in spite of obscurity, bred to all the local influences, Scotch in bone, in muscle, in culture, and in dialect, he rose higher than the special and national, and achieved his glory in those elements which unite mankind and make all nations of one blood.
