Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Andrew Melville, the Scottish Reformer: Abridged for the Board, From McCrie´s Life of Melville Andrew Melville was born near Montrose, in Scotland, on the first of August, 1545, and was the youngest of nine sons. His father, Richard Melville, was slain in battle when Andrew was only two years old; and his eldest brother Richard took charge of the family and faithfully performed the part of a parent to his brothers; and as the subject of this memoir appeared to have a feeble constitution, and a strong inclination to learning, his brother resolved to give him the best education he could. He was first placed in a grammar school, at Montrose, under the tuition of Thomas Anderson, a man of no great erudition, but one of the best teachers of his time. Here Andrew acquired the rudiments of Latin, in which language he became afterwards so great a proficient.
