Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Journal of Sir Walter Scott, 1891, Vol. 2: From the Original Manuscript at Abbotsford July 1, [Abbotsford]. - A most delicious day, in the course of which I have not done "The least right thing." Before breakfast I employed myself in airing my old bibliomaniacal hobby, entering all the books lately acquired into a temporary catalogue, so as to have them shelved and marked. After breakfast I went out, the day being delightful - warm, yet cooled with a gentle breeze, all around delicious; the rich luxuriant green refreshing to the eye, soft to the tread, and perfume to the smell. Wandered about and looked at my plantations. Came home, and received a visit from Sir Adam. Loitered in the library till dinner-time. If there is anything to be done at all to-day, it must be in the evening. But I fear there will be nothing. One can´t work always nowther. "Neque semper arcum tendit Apollo." There´s warrant for it. July 2. - Wrote in the morning, correcting the Essay on the Highlands, which is now nearly completed. Settled accounts with Tom and Bogie. Went over to Huntly Burn at two o´clock, and reconnoitred the proposed plantation to be called Jane´s Wood. Dined with the Fergusons. July 3 - Worked in the morning upon the Introduction to the Chronicles; it may be thought egotistical. Learned a bad accident had happened yesterday. A tinker (drunk I suppose) entered the stream opposite to Faldonside with an ass bearing his children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
