Biography:

BURNS, John (fl 1827)

Likely he lived in Ashton under Lyne, Lancashire, but his name is too common to make a confident identification. Some of the poems in his book mention Carron in Falkirk, Scotland, and some are in Scots dialect. The preface states that some verses had previously been published in periodicals.
