Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pleasures the Dangers and the Uses of Desultory Reading
Have sorrowed together. We rejoiced in the interesting proceedings which attended the celebration of the tercentenary. We sorrowed at the common loss which we sustained in the death of our esteemed and distinguished friend, the late Principal. I should be want ing in all right feeling if I did not take this opportunity of again bearing my testimony to the high qualities and the eminent services of Sir Alexander Grant.
