Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Rectorial Address: Delivered to the Students in the University of St. Andrews, 22nd October, 1902 This meeting has been looked forward to with unusual pleasure that I might thank you in person for the honour conferred by electing me your Rector without a contest. A peculiar charm is said to pervade everything connected with St. Andrews. I have often read of this, and not seldom heard old St. Andrews students dwell upon it, and now your Rector, ´bearing his blushing honours thick upon him,´ has already fallen completely under its sway. It is in the very air you breathe here, and I am hereafter one more St. Andrews man who will proclaim the indefinable charm under whose potent spell I now stand before you. My position is in itself peculiar, for you never had a Scoto-American as Rector in all your long history, although one celebrated American, worthy of the honour, James Russell Lowell, was your choice, but much to his regret was prevented from serving. My annual voyages across the Atlantic rarely yield much time for reading. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
