Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Joseph Black, M. D.; A Discourse: Delivered in the University of Glasgow on Commemoration Day, 19th April, 1904 There are some natures so happily constituted that they escape many of the trials which beset most men. Marcus Aurelius thanked his adopted father for having taught him the advantages of "a smooth and inoffensive temper; constancy to friends, without tiring or fondness; being always satisfied and cheerful; reaching forward into the future, and managing accordingly; not neglecting the least concerns, but all without hurry, or being embarrassed." Such a character had Joseph Black. Dr. Robison, the editor of his lectures, his successor here, and his biographer, wrote: "As he advanced in years, his countenance continued to preserve that pleasing expression of inward satisfaction, which, by giving ease to the beholder, never fails to please. His manner was perfectly easy and unaffected, and graceful. He was of most easy approach, affable, and readily entered into conversation, whether serious or trivial. His mind being abundantly furnished with matter, his conversation was at all times pertinent and agreeable. He was a stranger to none of the elegant accomplishments of life." His friend Dr. Ferguson said of him: "As Dr. Black had never anything for ostentation, he was at all times precisely what the occasion required, and no more.
