Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Diary of a Tour Through Great Britain: In 1895 The writer of the following Diary was born in the parish of Clunie, Perthshire, in the year 1754, his father being a tenant-farmer in the barony of Laighwood, where his forefathers appear to have lived continuously since 1586. Presumably his earliest education was received at the parish school; but the first definite date obtainable is the 18th of February, 1772, when he matriculated as a Student in Arts of the United College of St. Salvator and St. Leonard at St. Andrews. From a long Ms. poem, in which he moralizes over St. Andrews and the ´four tedious winters´ he had spent there, we learn that he quitted its halls for ever on 2nd May, 1775. ´There is, however,´ writes Mr. Maitland Anderson, University Librarian, ´no record of the classes he attended, and no mention of his having taken a degree. If he left St. Andrews in 1775, his Divinity course must have been taken at another University.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
