Monumental Brasses. — A brass, with the date 

 1611, to Anne Abbott may be seen in Hartlands 

 Church, Devon. A collection of the few brasses 

 in Cornwall and Devonshire would be worthy the 

 attention of some tourist with time to spare.

ROBERT BURNS. 



Brash and Reid, booksellers in Glasgow, printed 

 three volumes of Poetry, original and selected, in 

 penny numbers, which are without date, but may 



be stated about 1794 onwards. In one of these 

 numbers relating to the death of Robert Burns, 

 July 21, 1796, I find the following lines given as 



« Wntten by Himself. 



" The sinrple Bard, unbroke by rules of art, 

 Pours forth the wild effusions of the heart ; 

 And, if inspired, 'tis nature's powers inspire, 

 Her's all the melting thrill, her's all tne kindling fire." 



Mr. Allan Cunningham, who published the works 

 of Burns in 8 vols., 1834, has not, so far as I 

 have observed, included the above lines, nor has 

 Dr. Currie noticed them. I have no doubt, how- 

 ever, they are genuine of the poet ; and that Brash 

 and Reid had procured them from some of his 

 MSS., to which they appear to have had access, 

 from the circumstance of their having printed 

 before his death a copy of " Tarn O' Shanter " 

 containing the suppressed passage : 



" Three lawyers' tongues turn'd inside out 

 Wi' lies seem'd like a beggar's clout. 

 And Priests' hearts rotten black as muck 

 Lay stinking vile in every neuk." 



Although the four first-mentioned lines may not 

 be considered of any high importance in a literary 

 point of view, yet, as a relic of the poet, they might 

 be introduced into some new edition of his works. 

 I may be allowed to say as my opinion, that I 

 despair for the future of a better- written life than 

 that by Mr. Cunningham, and of our ever obtaining 

 a more copious set of good general illustrative notes 

 to the poetry. He bestowed the greatest pains on 

 both departments of the subjects, and there may 

 be added a short extract from one of his letters to 

 the writer, dated 



" 27. Belgrave Place, 8th Jan. 1834. — In respect to the 

 Life, a third of it is new, so are many of the anecdotes, 

 and I am willing to stand or fall as an author by it." 



G.K. 



Misprint. — In the sixth line of ray Query re- 

 specting the word " Nominal " (p. 486.), there is an 

 awkward misprint ; " and I think it was intended" 

 being printed instead of "and that it was intended." 

 Upwards of thirty years' experience in connexion 

 with the press has taught me to be very lenient 

 towards " misprints : " I like this English word 

 better than " errata," and, although I flatter my- 

 self that my penmanship is quite equal to that of 

 the average of the correspondents of "N. & Q.," 

 I will not blame either the compositor or the 

 reader. The difficulty of detecting typographical 

 errors is much greater than the uninitiated are in- 

 clined to believe ; and I have often observed that, 

 if the spelling be correct, a wrong word is very 

 apt to remain undetected. Perhaps it may amuse 

 some of the readers of " N. & Q." if I cite two 

 singular misprints which hare recently come under
