A Vindication: Burns, Excise Officer and Poet (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Vindication: Burns, Excise Officer and Poet

The following Paper was communicated to the last Quarterly Meeting of the Carlisle Burns Club by Mr. Sinton, one of the vice-presidents. It was very highly appreciated by the members present; and, in their opinion, it effectually refutes the wide Spread but mistaken notion that Burns' career as an Excise Officer was marred by irregular conduct.
