Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sir Walter Scott My Lord Provost and Gentlemen - Any man rising to propose "The Memory of Sir Walter Scott" in any gathering must needs be abashed. Should he keep to the beaten path, Charity herself could but say with Dr. Johnson that his speech "contains much that is true and trite." Should he digress from the obvious, Justice must add with the sage, "and much that is original and ridiculous." But when, as now, a speaker born south of the Tweed stands confronted by "The Edinburgh Walter Scott Club"; when, as to-night, your President, less fortunate in that capacity than twelve of his predecessors, can claim no bond of nativity with you and the subject of your loving reverence; why then, gentlemen, he can only reflect that you are wholly responsible for the aberration of your choice, and claim acquittal for his conduct of the case, "If" - as Sir Walter was so fond of quoting - "If, so he be in that concatenation accordingly."
