Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences The reader would make a mistake if he were to expect in the following pages anything in the nature of an autobiography. They contain simply what their title indicates - a series of reminiscences. Their character will perhaps be better appreciated, and some criticism of them saved, if I detail somewhat the circumstances under which they were written. One of my sisters-in-law, Helen C. Colman, and I hired a steam yacht for a month´s trip in the summer of 1903, during which time we entertained a few friends on board. We were detained in various ports by continuance of bad weather, and to beguile the tedium of these detentions my sister-in-law suggested that I should dictate to her some reminiscences of my earlier life. In this way the first portion of the following pages was written, to about the end of my student life at St. Andrews University. The remainder was done between that year and 1911. The book in fact has been written during occasional intervals in a busy life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
