"Talk not of Love"

The song quoted by your Querist, A. M., was written by Mrs. MacLehose, the "Clarinda" of Burns, and is to be found in most of the lives of the Scottish poet. [J.H., JR., says it is printed in Chambers's *Journal*, No. 1. New Series. DANIEL FERGUSON points them out at p. 212. of a *Collection of Songs of England and Scotland*, published by Cochrane, of Waterloo Place; and in vol. ii. of Johnson's *Scots Musical Museum*; and G.T. also refers to the last-named collection.]
