Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sir J. H. Meiring Beck: A Memoir I have been asked to contribute my recollections of Sir J. H. M. Beck, and I do so with pleasure. There was no more loveable or sympathetic man in South Africa´s public life. Beck was a man cultured beyond his fellows; in a love for art in all its branches, particularly in music, he was far beyond most men in South Africa, and he added to his special gifts a kindly and genial tolerance for those who, like myself were - after the good Anglo-Saxon fashion - destitute of those qualities that add a charm to life. I call to mind many playful wrangles that we have had upon these subjects upon which we agreed to differ. As to Beck´s medical acquirements, it does not become an ignorant outsider to speak. It was my lot to make the acquaintance of more than one of his former tutors at Edinburgh, and they all agreed in speaking in the highest terms of Beck´s abilities, and in regretting that he had transferred to his native land those qualities and abilities which, in a wider sphere, would have brought him distinction.
