Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lives of the Lindsays, Vol. 1 My Dearest Coutts And Margaret, It was for your instruction and amusement that I undertook some years ago the compilation of the following Memoir of our family - I now present it to you with every kind and affectionate wish. Do not allow yourselves to fall into the common prejudice, that Genealogy is a dry, uninteresting study - Lethe´s wharf her paradise, and her votary dull as the weed that fattens there. The Spirit of Discovery breathes expectation as eager, and enjoyment as intense, into the heart of the enthusiastic Genealogist as into that of a Bruce or a Humboldt. His researches resemble theirs; he journeys, as it were, into the mountains of an unexplored land, where peaks beyond peaks bound the horizon as far as the eye can reach, their snowy pinnacles glittering in the sun, while clouds of darkness rest on their sides and conceal their bases.
