"A short time before receiving license to preach, he had prepared the 'Course of Time,' which extends to ten books, in blank verse, and describes the mortal and immortal destiny of man, in language the nearest, perhaps, to that of Milton, which has ever been employed by a later bard. It has rarely happened that one so young has completed any work so extensive as this, much less one so successful.It became extensively read throughout the British empire, especially among the numerous and respectable classes of the Dissenters. It has, accordingly, passed through a considerable number editions, and now appears likely to keep its place among the standard poems in our language." - Rosaline Masson, Famous Scots Series (1898).Robert Pollok (1799-1827), educated at the University of Glasgow, a student of Dr.Dick, licensed to preach by the United Associate Presbytery of Edinburgh in the spring of 1827. "He never appeared in the pulpit but on one occasion: extremely debilitated by disease, he was persuaded to try the effects of the climate of Italy; but, whilst awaiting sufficient strength to allow of embarkation, he died near Southampton." M'Clintock & Strong.
