Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Robert Pollok: Author of "the Course of Time;" I spent the summer, and part of the fall of 1828, the recess of the Glasgow University, in Eaglesham, Renfrewshire, Scotland; and enjoyed much of the society of James Dobson, Esq., surgeon. His friendship was valuable and profitable, for he was a man of rare attainments in science, especially optics, language, and poetry. He had been an early friend of Dr. Mungo Park, the African traveller, with whose family he still kept up intercourse. He had also been the intimate friend of Robert Pollok; had watched over his progress with something akin to parental solicitude; and knew well his struggles, successes, and history. Nor was there any locality or incident alluded to in "The Course of Time," of which he could not speak intelligently and eloquently. There were reasons that occurred during that time, which induced Dr. Dobson to urge me to attempt a Life of the Bard, with a dissertation on the poem. The work was immediately undertaken, the Christian Canticle read and expounded, localities visited, and facts collected; but soon afterwards, in the face of encouragement to proceed with it, I abandoned it, convinced that it was a subject demanding the energies of a maturer mind.

Most of all, thanks for making it right when it was wrong.The Writings and Speeches of Grover Cleveland (Classic Reprint) (#135167120478)
- s***s (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller was fine, arrived promptly with good packaging and in perfect condition. But I should have asked questions about the book. It is really just a recreation of a collection of pages from old catalogues. I was hoping for more information & history of some of the Chickering models. This was not worth $18 to me. Would have been helpful if the seller had given examples of some pages.
