By Edward Kentish

Book Overview

""A Second Essay On Burns"" is a book written by Edward Kentish in 1800. The book is a continuation of Kentish's previous work on the Scottish poet Robert Burns. In this book, Kentish attempts to refute the opinions of Mr. Earle and Sir W. Farquhar regarding Burns.

Kentish also defends Burns against accusations of plagiarism, claiming that the poet was merely borrowing from the works of others in order to create his own unique voice. Overall, ""A Second Essay On Burns"" is a defense of the life and work of Robert Burns, and a challenge to the prevailing opinions of his time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
