Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Seer´s House, and Other Sermons Some time ago I was looking into a little book published in our city with this title - "Memorable Edinburgh Houses": and it seemed to suggest the text. You can say it in almost every street and square and suburb - "Somebody once lived here worth remembering." "Tell me where the Seer´s house is." Not many cities are as rich in such memories as ours. Before the time when the road to London was made short and easy, our men of genius were more easily kept at home. Edinburgh was a centre, a capital. All that was best in Scottish life and thought and literature and enterprise gathered to this grey metropolis. There were living here great Scottish nobles and great Scottish statesmen, Scottish philosophers and poets, as well as great doctors and preachers and lawyers. The places made memorable by their presence are with us still. Among the crowded closes and "lands" of the High Street and the Canongate, and in the wide streets and squares of the West End, as well as here and there in the remoter suburbs, there are "memorable Edinburgh houses."
