While my aim, in the following pages, has been a little more ambitious than the compilation of a mere Glossary to the Writings of Burns, it is still a humble one.

Excerpt from Complete Glossary to the Poetry and Prose of Robert Burns: With Upwards of Three Thousand Illustrations From English Authors
While my aim, in the following pages, has been a little more ambitious than the compilation of a mere Glossary to the Writings of Burns, it is still a humble one.
My endeavour has been to show to English readers that by far the greater number of the Poet's words for which a glossary is generally consulted are to be found in their own authors. For this purpose, I have quoted upwards of three thousand passages from English authors, besides words from old dictionaries and provincial glossaries.
With the exception of a very few words from provincial authors, real or pretended, I have taken no illustrations from works published since Burns's time.
I have not hesitated, when occasion offered, to insert anything which seemed likely to illustrate, in however small a degree, any word or passage, even at the risk of being accused of going beyond the province of the glossarist.
I have not, however, neglected what is the primary purpose of a glossary; and I believe this, which I now offer to the public, will be found to contain a number of words not to be found in any other. Of course, Burns's own glossary has been incorporated.
