Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of a Scottish Probationer: Being a Memoir of Thomas Davidson, With His Poems and Extracts, From His Letters The last edition of this book, revised by my father eighteen months before his death and more than twelve years after its first appearance, was exhausted a few years ago. The fact that after thirty years the Life is still sought for seems to justify the belief that it has gained for itself a certain modest place in Scottish literature. The secret of the lingering love for the book is probably best explained in the words quoted by its author on the title page - words used by Thomas Carlyle regarding John Sterling - "A life which cannot challenge the world´s attention; yet which does modestly solicit it, and perhaps, on clear study, will be found to reward it."
