A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Edinburgh doctor snatched from his sacred duties as healer of men, to give us glimpses of the breadth and depth of his own nature, and show us some lessons to be had from men and books, he gives the outline of this tale; and suggests that here is material for a wholesome and pleasant story. If he who drew the outline could have filled in the details, we all know how the story would have distilled strong and sweet. It would be pleasant to think that the readers of this book would concur in the good doctors sentiment, that we are the better of stirring ourselves about these the unknown and long time dead. Crow Hill, East Orange, N. J., 1891.
