  1. The author of Reliques of Robert Burns was an engraver to trade. In 1808, Cromek came to Scotland to collect information about Burns. This he published the same year in his Reliques of Burns, consisting of Original Letters, Poems and Critical Observations on Scottish Songs. The finding of a manuscript in Burns’s hand in 1922, proved that the song notes, for long suspected of being Cromek forgeries, are mostly by Burns himself and are thus particularly valuable. But although Cromek put in a lot of scholarship and hard work, his habit of making portmanteau versions of Burns’s letters led to suspicion being cast on everything he did. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read.
