Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of My Indian Career, Vol. 1 The story of our family down to my own birth has been told in the Life of Lord Campbell, so well edited by his daughter, and which evoked much interest and sympathy. Very pleasant is the account of his relations with his family and of his close connection and correspondence with my father, his only brother, a picture to which I can desire to add very little. I can wish nothing better than that my father should be known as he has come to be known in those pages. Anything of our early history that I here add is only by way of supplement. In regard to Donald Campbell, Abbot of Coupar-Angus, and son of the Argyll who fell at Flodden, from whom we claim descent, Lord Campbell says that he had ascertained that Donald was a soldier and a married man with a family before he became a monk. This Donald was a considerable man in his day, and voluminous papers regarding the abbacy of Coupar-Angus have lately been published. I have seen it suggested as an instance of the laxity of those days that Donald the Abbot openly brought up a family without being the least ashamed of it, and that they blazoned their relationship on tombstones and all the rest of it. But our case is that there was no concealment, because the Abbot had nothing to be ashamed of. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
