Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of William and Robert Chambers: With Supplementary Chapter My brother and I were born and spent our early years in a small country town in the south of Scotland, situated amidst beautiful scenery, and had therefore the advantage - as advantage it might be called - of being acquainted from infancy with some of the noble works of nature, along with rural objects and circumstances. The place of our birth was Peebles, an ancient royal burgh on the upper part of the Tweed, where our ancestors had dwelt from time immemorial - the tradition among them being that they were descended from a personage inscribed as "William de la Chaumbre, Bailif e Burgos de Pebles." in the list of those who signed bonds of allegiance to Edward I., 1296. However that might be, I was born in this little old burgh, 16th April, 1800; and Robert, coming next in order in the family, was born 10th July, 1802. For the place of birth and early associations almost every one has a peculiar affection; and among the Scotch, as is will know, this feeling is a marked national characteristics. It will not seem surprising, therefore, that through life Robert cherished kindly remembrances of the scenes of his infancy.
