  • Life and Works of Robert Burns. (1800) J.C. Currie

(James Currie was once thought to have distorted the story of Burns's life, to use the poet as a 'Dreadful Warning' against the evils of drink. R.D.Thornton's James Currie: The Entire Stranger and Robert Burns (1963) argues that in his own youth, Currie was so intemperate that the respectability of his middle-age made it hard for him publicly to avoid condemning one whose sins were so like his own had been.
