Manuscript, in various hands, of a collection of about 50 verses, many of them elegiac, contributed by Sanderson's friends, among them Ebenezer Elliot, who contributed the poems Lines, Addressed to a Friend, Who Advised the Author Not to Write Satire; and Extract from 'Spiritual Man,' an Unpublished Epic Poem. Other entries include The Parting Kiss by Robert Burns; Memory by Oliver Goldsmith; and an excerpt from Byron's Childe Harold titled On the Death of the Princess Charlotte. The volume also contains several unattributed pieces, including a poem titled The Wish, whose refrain runs "Believe me, Dear Ann, believe me"; and a poem dated 1823 concerning the Battle of Waterloo titled The Little Wild Flower 'Forget me not,' Transplanted; as well as a prose piece titled The Album which declares, "The Album is a little world, where appear the thoughts of the various contributors, and where the characters of the drama are continually changing." About 12 drawings of flowers and country scenes, in pencil and watercolor, appear throughout the manuscript.

Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement, and after his death he became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism, and a cultural icon in Scotland and among the Scottish diaspora around the world. Celebration of his life and work became almost a national charismatic cult during the 19th and 20th centuries, and his influence has long been strong on Scottish literature. ...
