101. (Burns, Robert) Watkins, Larissa P. BURNSIANA: A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE WILLIAM R.
SMITH COLLECTION IN THE LIBRARY OF THE SUPREME COUNCIL, 33°, S.J. With a Foreword
by Akram Elias, Grand Master of Free and Accepted Masons, Washington, D.C., Editor-in-Chief.
New Castle, Delaware and Washington, D.C.: Oak Knoll Press & Library of the Supreme Council, 33°,
S.J., 2008, 8.5 x 11 inches, hardcover. 240 pages. ISBN 9781584562467. $65.00 $48.75
First edition. Published shortly before the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns in 2009, this bibliography
presents the unparalleled Burnsiana collection held by the Library of the Supreme Council of the Ancient &
Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction, USA, the most complete collection of Burnsiana in the United States.
Because of the paucity of bibliographic literature illuminating Burns' involvement in Freemasonry, the work
contains a biographic sketch entitled "Robert Burns-Freemason" written by Robert L.D. Cooper. From a historical,
bibliographical, informational and aesthetic perspective, the Burnsiana catalogue has no analog among currently
existing bibliographies. The catalogue is illustrated by the engravings of several generations of artists that provide
an image of the Bard of Caledonia and the scenes of Scotland that he loved, and which inspired his creativity. This
bibliography is a distinguished gift from the Fraternity of Freemasons in honor of the 250th anniversary of the
birth of this distinguished Scottish poet and Mason, Robert Burns. [Order No. 96673]
