Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Convalescent To sickness I have always found I had much reason to be indebted; but, among the other blessings which have come to me under its apparent untempting veil, I number two of the most precious memories of the past - two of the habitual and most unfailing sources of my happiness at the present hour - the friendships of two eminent men, to whose medical care and counsel, under Providence, I have, at different times, owed my recovery. By Dr. William Beattie, the English poet and physician, so well known to our countrymen, I was first attended, in 1835, when dangerously ill in London; and, with the acquaintance thus formed upon a sick-bed, commenced a confidential intercourse, maintained subsequently by a correspondence, which, after twenty-four years of almost constant separation, still retains its first interest and cordiality. My last and just-received letter from the venerable man (now near eighty years of age, if I am not mistaken), came accompanied with a present of ten or twelve rare books from his choice library, and an invaluable manuscript of Campbell the poet, whose most intimate friend he was during that afflicted man´s troubled life, and to whom he performed so devotedly the last services and honors.
