About this book
Thomas Carlyle wrote this essay for the Edinburgh Review, where it appeared in December 1828 as a notice of John Gibson Lockhart's Life of Robert Burns. The form is a review, yet the editor of this school edition calls it an independent work in its own right.
The introduction in the Riverside Literature Series describes how the Edinburgh Review changed book reviewing after its founding in 1802 and sketches Lockhart's career, from his marriage to Walter Scott's eldest daughter to his later Life of Scott. Burns was the Scottish poet.
