On Robert Burns Night - A Speech by Robert G. Ingersoll
25th January is Burn's Night and an important part of any Burn's Supper, in the middle of the gathering is the Immortal Memory Speech. In 1878, Robert Green Ingersoll gave a brilliant speech in honour of the memory of Robert Burns and I am proud to present it here on our Robert Burns Scotland site. If you are looking for a speech for your Burn's Supper, you could easily adapt this one for your own alloted time, but, although it is long, I felt it should be published in its original form because it is such a lovely piece of work. Remember you can print it off if you like. Have a great Burn's Night wherever you are in the world!

Homage to Fergusson
The most major inspiration to Robert Burns was the work of the poet, Robert Fergusson, and when his talent was cut short by his early death at the age of 24, Robert Burns was deeply saddened, especially when he heard that poor Robert Fergusson, a poetical genius, had ended up in an unmarked grave..........

The Great Orator and Burns! Robert Green Ingersoll 1833-1899
One of the greatest citizens America has ever known is, to my mind, Robert Green Ingersoll and he wrote, ’…..the first man that let up the curtain in my mind, that ever opened a blind, that ever allowed a little sunshine to straggle in, was Robert Burns. I went to get my shoes mended, and I had to go with them, and I had to wait till they were done. When I went into the shop of the old Scotch shoemaker he was reading a book, which was Robert Burns……

The ABCs of Copyright Law: An Interactive Outline
Copyright is a bundle of rights provided by a government that attach to created works. Generally, these rights are exclusive to the creator of the work (called the "author") and do not follow the ownership or possession of the actual work itself. For example, when an artist sells a landscape that she has painted, the buyer does not have the right to copy the painting and sell the copies unless the artist has transferred that right to the buyer in writing (such a writing is usually called a “license”). These rights are called “copy” rights because the first laws passed protected only the right to copy written works. Today, copyrights also protect other exclusive rights in the expression included in any creative work.

The Betrayal Of History
"Dreamworld and Catastrophe" is a cry of anguish disguised as the interdisciplinary analyses of a (neo-)Marxist scholar. It is a fragmentary and tortured reaction to the betrayal of history, in the best of Walter Benjamin's tradition, consciously emulated in this tome by this leading authority on the Frankfurt School. It is painful to wade through the convolutions of denial, intellectualization and projection that constitute the first part ("Democracy" - the political framework). The next two sections ("History" and "Mass Culture") are a joyride of erudition and an intellectual tour de force. The last part - a dry chronicle of the comings and goings of the author's milieu amidst the disintegration of the USSR and the emergence of Russia - is anti-climactic. The opus in its entirety does not fuflil the blurb's somewhat hubristic promise: "This book offers a revaluation of the twentieth century".
