Excerpt from Burns Centenary 21st July 1896: Great Demonstration at Dumfries (With Illustrations); Speeches by Lord Roseberry at Dumfries and Glasgow A Special Edition of the Dumfries and Galloway Standard- containing an elaborate account of the proceedings in this town on the 21st of July was published at five o'clock on the evening of that day; and of this and next day's issue combined over nineteen thousand copies were printed. The publication was completely exhausted within forty-eight hours; and numerous applications continuing to come in, the narrative is now reproduced in book form. Errors incidental to unavoidable haste have been corrected where observed; and the record thus revised has been extended by the inclusion of the magnificent speech which Lord Rosebery delivered in Glasgow under the auspices of the Rums Exhibitiop Committee. Additional illustrations have also been introduced. Among these are a view of the impressive ceremony at the Mausoleum, and a very effective impression of Turnerelli's sculpture of the Muse of Poetry finding Burns at the plough. The former was photographed by Mr Moryson; the latter by Mr Mackocbnie, Dumfries. To both gentlemen we have to express our indebtedness for permission to use the prints. Numerous photographs of the procession have been secured by various artists, and are on sale at the bookshops. These we have not sought to embody; for excellent though most of them are, it is impossible to make a selection which would convey any adequate idea of the length and picturesqueness of the unique parade. One remark is suggested by them. They reveal no dense crowding at any point of the route. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
