Excerpt from Annual Burns Chronicle and Club Directory: 25th January, 1892
As stated in the circular, the chronicle was instituted on the 4th of September, 1891, so that we had hardly three months to prepare the Directory. This explanation, it is hoped, will account for the incompleteness of that part of the volume, as the Clubs located in the Colonies had not time to send in the necessary information and some of the home Clubs have been most unaccountably reticent in the matter.
Most of the Clubs, however, returned the forms properly filled up, accompanied, in many cases, by letters commending the proposal, and handsomely subscribing for the chronicle. To the Secretaries of these Clubs, and numerous individual admirers of the poet, the Editor tenders his best thanks, and trusts that, with a year to prepare the second number, and more available space for the valuable contributions promised, and an extension of the Directory, the chronicle will meet with a corresponding increase of patronage and substantial support from all Burns Clubs and Scottish Societies.
