Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Alexander Duff How many and how varied are the possibilities of life, and how largely they contribute to its interest! The spring blossom has an added beauty for us because of the summer fruit it promises; the knowledge that in the heart of the closed bud lies all the sweetness of the perfect flower lends it value in our eyes; and the babbling of the brook prophesies to our ears of the mighty river. "The child is father to the man," so no biography, however condensed, can ignore the childhood and youth of its subject, for by the child is often best explained the being and doing of the man. Alexander Duff was born April 25, 1806, near the village of Moulin, Scotland. His parents, James Duff and Jean Rattray, were of that substantial, rugged yeomanry which yet forms the backbone of Scotland; the class from which came also Knox and Burns, and in which piety, if it takes root at all, is as stern and unyielding as it is intense and fervid. When James Duff was but seventeen, Charles Simeon, of Cambridge, came by chance to Moulin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
