Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Miscellany: Presented to John Macdonald Mackay, LL. D., July, 1914 This book was already prepared, in honour of Professor Mackay´s completing his thirtieth year of service, and had begun to go to press, when his forthcoming retirement was announced. The news drew forth the second of the Addresses, a mark of regard from the students who have been recently in his classes. The rest of the volume has been left as it stood, except that some names have been added to the first Address. This is signed by donors to the publication fund, by the writers and painters who contribute, and by some few helpers more. The hundred and eighty and odd signatures appended to these two testimonies must be taken to speak for a much larger congregation, which is now hardly to be reached. The good wishes of all will be yet the keener for the sense that Professor Mackay is now bidding farewell to his labours as a teacher and to his long campaign in Liverpool. In Liverpool nearly all of the writers have also laboured, in the academic vineyard. Each of them is answerable for what he, or she, has signed, and for that alone. The Editor has obtained Professor Mackay´s permission to include the papers and addresses which appear in appendix form. The Editor owes manifold thanks to those who have co-operated in this tribute, and especially to Miss M. Eileen Lyster, who has kindly made the index, and to Miss Doris Millett, assistant-secretary to the University Press, who has been at the pains to verify the greater part of the proof corrections. The portrait by Mr. Augustus John has been reproduced with the approval of the artist and by leave of its owners, the University Club, Liverpool, an institution of which Professor Mackay was a founder. The other portrait is reproduced by the courtesy of E. Rawlins, Esq., of Kentmere, from a photograph taken by him. The collotypes of the drawings of Henry the Eighth´s Navy are the work of the Clarendon Press, Oxford. The Editor wishes to acknowledge the skill and care with which a somewhat difficult task has been carried out, under the superintendence of Mr. W. G. Brandwood, by the printers, Messrs. C. Tinling & Co., Ltd. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
