Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Hopkins Morison: A Memoir The book has been formed as far as possible of selections from Dr. Morison´s own words; but in making the selections, things which explained his life and exemplified his thoughts have been chosen, rather than such as on their own merits might be considered the best. The plan of the memoir gives the outward facts of his life, and the man himself so far as he is revealed by the selections from his writings. But those who knew him best must feel that his most striking characteristic could not be fully shown either by the narrative or by the selections. If his character were to be given in the most fitting single word, that word would be "unselfishness." It was not only a life in which generosity was great in proportion to means of gratifying it, and in which the giver gave himself as freely as what was his, but one into which the thought of self seemed never to enter.
