Book Description
Excerpt from A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen, Vol. 5 of 4: With a Supplemental Volume, Continuing the Biographies to the Present Time While a national Biography is so fitted to ari est the general attention, and endear itself to the patriotic feelings of those people whose great and good men it commemorates, a national Scottish Biography possesses such advantages of this nature, as must always impart to it an especial interest. For it exhibits a country the least populous in Europe, and originally the most remote and neglected, producing, in spite of these disadvantages, such a multitude of leading minds in every department of thoixght and action, as have advanced it into the very foremost rank of nations, and given it an imperishable name in history. The men by whom such a change has been achieved must have left a memorial of no ordinary importance. Something more, however, than a merely intellectual and historical interest belongs, in a peculiar degree, to Scottish Biography. Those men of whom it is the record, were in most instances of humble origin and scanty resources men who were obliged not only skilfully to use, but in many cases absolutely to create the means by which they were boz ne onward and who yet, by their talents, their energy, and their moral worth, won their way to eminence in every department of human excellence. While patriotism is ennobled and purified by the study of such examples, how persuasive a lesson they contain for the ingenuous youths by whom the manliood of Scotland in a few years will be represented! It is by such reading that they can best be taught by the example of such precursors that they will be best animated and dii ected. In these instances they have full proof, that however adverse their own circumstances are, everything may be compelled to give way to indomitable resolution, unwearing industry, and steady upright integrity. A full national Biography for Scotland, from the earliest period till 1834, was accomplished by the work, the publication of which was completed dui ing that year, under the title of Lives op Illustrious and Distinguished Scotsmen, of which the first four volumes of the present is a re issue. But since the period of its first publication, circumstances have occurred, through which a large addition to the original collection was ui gently demanded.
