Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Robert Dick: Baker, of Thurso, Geologist and Botanist The preparation of this book has occupied me at intervals during several years. It would have been published before the Life of a Scotch Naturalist, but for want of the requisite materials. I have to thank my reviewers, one and all, for their favourable notices of that work. It has, however, been objected that I should have culled my last example of Self-Help from a career not already concluded, and exposed the Scotch Naturalist, after his long unmerited neglect, to the harder trial of intrusive patronage, to which my premature biography was likely to expose him. Whatever truth there may be in this objection, it certainly does not apply in the present case. Robert Dick died twelve years ago, without any recognition of his services to the cause of science, and without any of that Royal Help which, as in the case of Edward, is likely to render the later years of his life more free from care and anxiety. The first account that I heard of Robert Dick was from the lips of the late Sir Roderick Murchison. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
