When 27 years of age, Burns first attracted literary attention, and in the same moment sprang to the first place in Scottish letters. In despair over his poverty and personal habits, he resolved to emigrate to Jamaica, and gathered a few of his early poems, hoping to sell them for enough to pay the expenses of his journey. The result was the famous Kilmarnock Edition of the Poetical Works of Robert Burns, published in 1786, for which he was offered 20 pounds. It is said that he even; bought his ticket, and on the night before the ship sailed wrote his Farewell to Scotland, which he intended to his last song on Scottish soil.
In the morning he changed his mind, led partly by the dim foreshadowing of the result of his literary adventure for the little book caught all Scotland by storm. Not only scholars, literary men, but even cowboys and maid servants, eagerly spent their hard earned shillings for the new book. Instead of going to America, the young poet hurried to Edinburgh to arrange for another edition of his work. His journey was a constant success, and in the capital he was welcomed and feasted by the best of Scottish society. This unexpected triumph lasted only one winter. Burns’ extreme fondness for a fast life shocked his cultured entertainers, and when he returned to Edinburgh next winter, he received scant attention. He left the capital and went back in disappointment to the soil, where he was more at home.
Kilmarnock Edition of the Poetical Works of Robert Burns brought Burns______.
