Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Edinburgh Fugitive Pieces: With Letters Containing a Comparative View of the Modes of Living, Arts, Commerce, Literature, Manners, &C, of Edinburgh, at Different Periods William Creech, late Bookseller in Edinburgh, was born at Newbattle, in the neighbourhood of that city, on the 21st of April 1745, His ancestors were respectable farmers in the county of Fife, but not in opulent circumstances. He was the son of the Rev. William Creech, minister of the parish of Newbattle, and Mrs Mary Buley, an English lady, nearly related to the family of Quarme in Devonshire, several of whom have held the office of Usher of the Black Rod in the House of Lords. The Rev. Mr Creech, who was a pious and most respectable clergyman, died at the early age of forty, a few months after the birth of his son William, leaving besides him, his widow, and two very young daughters, Margaret and Mary, both of whom died in the month of September 1749.
