Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scots Essayists, From Stirling to Stevenson The present collection of "Scots Essays" makes no pretensions to be either exhaustive or even fully representative of all the leading essayists in this department of Scottish literature. The compiler merely aimed at bringing together, in the limited space at his disposal, as many papers by Scots writers as he could discover to exhibit the desiderated qualities of being favourable examples of this type of Scots letters, and as possessing intrinsic human interest for readers of to-day. Many other specimens might have been selected. In most cases, however, they were either concerned with topics of mere passing ephemeral interest, or they pre-supposed a knowledge of obscure contemporary politics or controversies, of which few people outside the antiquarian pale ever heard, and about which fewer still care one doit. I must acknowledge my indebtedness to the courtesy of the following publishers: - To Messrs. W. & R. Chambers, Ltd., for permission to reprint the papers of the great founders of the firm, William and Robert Chambers; to Messrs. A. & C. Black, for allowing me to insert "Rab and his Friends" and the other two specimens of the work of Dr. John Brown; to David Douglas, Esq., for the examples of Principal Shairp´s essays; to Messrs. Nimmo, Hay, & Mitchell, for those of Hugh Miller and of Alexander Smith; to Messrs. Longmans, for those of A. K. H. B.; and to Messrs. Chatto & Windus, for those of R. L. Stevenson.
