Royal Abbey of St. Thomas, Arbroath, Angus Grant signed by John Hamilton later first Marquess of Hamilton, as Commendator of Arbroath ("Jhone commendatar of Arbrothe"); with a large fragment of the monastery's seal attached (a fine impression in white wax preserving approximately half the seal, showing on the obverse part of the Madonna and Child and on the reverse the four knights and murder of Thomas Beckett), on vellum, some fading and light staining, 195 x 265mm. Note: The Royal Abbey of St. Thomas at Arbroath, Forfarshire, a house of Tironensian canons, was established by King William I (the Lion) in 1178 as a memorial to his childhood friend, Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was murdered in 1170. William I was himself buried there in 1214. John, Lord Hamilton, a son of Regent Arran, who later became the first Marquis of Hamilton, was the last commendator before the Reformation. He succeeded the second James Beaton, who also became Archbishop of Glasgow, as commendator in 1551, and ruled the abbey until 1560 when the Scottish reformation effectively brought monastic life at Arbroath to an end.

Burns, Robert [with Autograph Letter] Poems chiefly in the Scottish Dialect Edinburgh: Creech, 1787. Second edition [first Edinburgh edition], 8vo, engraved portrait frontispiece, with half-title, with the misprint "Boxburgh" and "skinking" correctly spelt, full crimson morocco by Ramage, spines decorated gilt in compartments, inner gilt dentelles, a.e.g., contained in a black morocco, silk lined box, lettered in gilt "Burns Poems - 1787", faint inscription on the title-page, faint offsetting from the portrait to the title, [Egerer 2]; with 5 letters bound in, including 1 autograph letter initialled from Burns, and one annotated "Kirkwood's Acct." by Robert Burns (see Note for details) Note: The following autograph letters are bound in: (i) Letter of 16 Nov. 1829 from D. Bridges to Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe, with cover addressed to Sharpe at 93 Princes Street, Edinburgh. The letter is about the recently discovered portrait of Burns by Reid. (ii) Unsigned letter from Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe presumably to D. Bridges regarding Sharpe's opinion of the Reid portrait and its authenticity. [iii] Letter of 16 Jan, 1851, from Robert Chambers to Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe, commenting on the loss of correspondence between Sharpe's father and the poet save for a whimsical letter written by the poet in the character of a vagrant fiddler. [iv] Account dated 11 April, 1788 from the engraver James Kirkwood addressed to Robert Burns, 'To 36 India paper, quarto, for proof impressions of your head, 3d, to backing paper for D[itt]o and printing 36 proofs, 1d... J. Kirkwood will settle with Mr Creech for the above, when he gets his three copies of the Poems'. Kirkwood subscribed for three copies of the Edinburgh edition and settled his account by printing copies of the Beugo engraving of Burns after Naysmith for him, to send to his friends. It is docketed by Burns as "Kirkwood's acc[omp]t." [v] Autograph Letter Initialled, from Burns to Thomas Sloan of Dumfries, stating that his black mare has hurt one of her hind legs so ill that she cannot travel, mentioning that he called on Capt. Riddell and saying "excuse this brief epistle from a broken arm", undated, one page, with integral address panel.

Burns, Robert Autograph fragment (unsigned) of ten lines from one of his excise books, made up of two smaller pieces joined together, written on both sides, with blurred red circular excise stamp on the recto, c 85 x 135mm., undated, probably early 1790s Note: A note at the head on one side states "The Autograph of Robert Burns, taken out of one of his Excise books - given to J.C. Loudon of Bayswater, by John Syme of Ryedale, and authenticated by the signature of the latter gentleman". On the verso Syme has written "Autograph of Burns, J.Syme". Burns' commission as an excise officer was issued in July 1788, and he began work at Dumfries in September 1789 at a salary of £50 a year. The work was strenuous, and largely involved searching for contraband materials and checking weights and measures. The entries here state that he "Weighed one stage of Candles at 149lbs", "Took of the Brewer's Worts", "Weighed six Hides & 122 Calves at 16 lbs", and "attended Collection as per margin". There are in all six references to taking off "Brewer's worts". A 'wort' is an infusion of malt or other grain which after fermentation becomes beer, or which may be used for the distillation of spirits, and Burns was evidently checking the strength of the alcohol being offered for sale. Burns at first tried to combine his work as an Excise officer with farming at Ellisland, but this proved too exhausting, and after promotion he was able to give up his farm in late 1791 and move with his family into a house in Dumfries. He was, perhaps surprisingly, a conscientious official, and in December 1794 was further promoted to acting supervisor. Despite his radical sympathies Burns took a considerable part in organising the Dumfries Volunteers, who paraded with weapons expressing their loyalty to the Crown.

Burns, Robert Autograph verse, working draft, entitled 'Sonnet' and beginning 'No more, ye warblers of the wood, no more' nine lines (one scored through), with corrections, on one page, 115 x 205mm, cut from a larger leaf with trace of mount, browned, docketed on recto 'Cv2 fo 266j' and on verso '18. Sonnet on the Death of Mr Riddel; Copied by W.C.C.' Burns had made manuscript corrections to two lines. In line 2, he has altered 'Nor pour your grating descant on my ear' to 'Nor pour your descant grating on my ear'; and the last (eighth) line has been altered from 'Poured round th'untimely tomb where Riddell lowly lies' to 'That strain pours round th'untimely tomb where Riddell lies'. The text of this sonnet published in James Kinsley, ed, The Poems and Songs of Robert Burns, Oxford, 1968, continues with a quatrain and concluding couplet. A comparison between his text and the present manuscript with several variant readings suggest that this was an early version of the sonnet. Note: On the day after Robert Riddell died on 20 April 1794 at the age of thirty-nine, Burns sent the sonnet to John Clarke of Locherwoods, 'a small heart-felt tribute to the memory of the man I loved . I shall send it to some Newspaper with my name.' The text of this sonnet published in Kinsley is taken from Currie, 1801 (iv. 368-9), collated with the Dumfries Journal, 22 April 1794 (where it was first published), the Morning Chronicle, 5 May 1794 and other journals. Burns's tribute to one of his greatest friends. Robert Riddell (1755-94) was the eldest son of Walter Riddell of Glenriddell, in the parish of Glencairn, Dumfriesshire. In 1784 he married Elizabeth Kennedy of Manchester and settled on the estate of Friars Carse, about six miles north of Dumfries. Both Robert Riddell and Riddell's brother Walter, together with their wives, became intimate friends of Burns. Robert Riddell was a country gentleman of convivial habits, an amateur musician and an antiquary. He collected and published Scottish music for piano, harpsichord and violin. At some undetermined date, apparently in the latter part of December 1793, Burns was guilty of some drunken offence against Elizabeth which resulted in his writing the famous 'letter from hell' and led to his estrangement from the family. Walter Riddell's wife Maria, a woman of charm, wit and intelligence forgave Burns in 1795 both for his drunken behaviour and for the unfortunate lampoon he wrote during the estrangement. His enthusiastic admiration of her and the chequered course of their friendship are recorded in their letters. Robert Riddell's sudden death prevented Burns from effecting a reconciliation. The Glenriddell MSS in the National Library of Scotland, a collection of manuscript verse and transcripts of letters, was made by Burns for Robert Riddell in 1791.

Forty-nine of the maps are of Scotland and 6 of Ireland.

Burns, Robert Autograph letter signed ('Robt. Burns') One page, 278 x 178mm, [Mossgiel, ca. 1 August 1786], to James Smith, regarding his turbulent courtship with Jean Armour; washed and pressed with residual soiling, green morocco portfolio by Riviere, green silk moire guards, gilt dentelles; [together with] A stipple-engraved portrait of Rogers after Nasmyth, light staining, minor marginal losses, one portfolio flap detached Note: Transported by the raptures of young love, Burns commits "the sin of rhyme." In a letter to his Mauchline friend James Smith, Burns paraphrases from Addison's Cato (Act I, scene 6): O Jenny, thou hast stolen away my soul! In vain I strive against the lov'd idea: They tender image sallies on my thoughts, My firm resolves become an easy prey! In spite of hi claims of yielding to Jean's beguiling charms, he vehemently declares: "Against two things however, I am fix'd as Fate: staying at home and owning her conjugally. - The first, by Heaven I will not do!. The last, by Hell, I will never do!" At Mauchline, Burns had fallen in love with Jean Armour (b. 1767), who, along with Smith's sister, was one of the "six proper young belles" celebrated in his poem of that place. By spring of 1786 it was apparent that Jeans was expecting Burns's child. According to the custom of the country and the morals of the people, Burns gave her a document acknowledging her as his lawful wife. Her father, a master mason and "Auld Lichter", bristled at the idea of his daughter wed to a poor ploughman of the "New Light" persuasion, and insisted the union be dissolved. Jean surrendered the document, and Burns was stung with indignation. Obtaining £20 from the sale of the Kilmarnock edition of his poems, he contemplated emigrating in late summer of 1786 to Jamaica with Mary Campbell ("Highland Mary" with whom he had started an affair that May). Jean's father obtained a warrant against Burns which would force him to provide for Jean's child. She gave birth to twins on 3 September 1786. Burns abandoned his plan for the West India expedition and finally married Jean in 1788, with whom he had nine children. "If you see Jean tell her, I will meet her. So help me Heaven in my hour of need!" Burns plaintively beseeches his friend at the end of his letter. Burns's correspondence with Smith (this being one of only six recorded letters) is of particular interest for details of the poet's turbulent courtship of Jean, revealing his unguarded thoughts on sex and marriage. Smith, son of a Mauchline merchant, revolted against his strict and repressive upbringing by forming with Burns and Richmond the infamous "Court of Equity" - "a happy triumvirate in village revelry". When his business failed in 1788, he emigrated to St. Lucia in the West Indies, where he was thought to have died about 1808. Mackay: Letters of Robert Burns , I, p.117.
