Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Indian Home Memories The earliest of my ancestors of whom I Dr. Nathaniel Cotton, who was born in 1705, and lived a long and useful life at St. Albans, where he died in 1788. In his day he was well known for his writings in prose and verse, and his poems were very popular, running through more than twenty editions. I have in my possession a copy of his works which was once the property of Dr. John Brown, the author of "Rab and his Friends," and that excellent mans appreciative pencil comments are evidence of the high estimation in which Dr. Cotton´s writings were held in a past generation. There was a good old custom in our family to bestow a half-crown on every child as soon as it could recite Dr. Cottons poem, ´The Fireside," which begins with these quaint and pleasing verses: - "Dear Chloe, while the busy crowd, The vain, the wealthy, and the proud, In folly´s maze advance; Though singularity and pride Be called our choice, well step aside, Nor join the giddy dance.
