Excerpt from A Memorial, 1506-1906This volume is the result of the request specially made that there should be some permanent memento of the reverence paid by the University of St. Andrews to the memory of one of her greatest alumni. It was considered by some of those who inspired the quater-centenary Celebrations held in St. Andrews in July, that the students of the present day should play their part in acknowledging the greatness of him who was imbued with 'the St. Andrews spirit' and, in the words of Gibbon, celebrated with elegance the unviolated independence of his native country. It was further suggested that their acknow ledgment be made in the form of a Festschrift. These pages then form their contribution, which is offered to the public in the year when the quater-centenary should have been held. Many difficulties stood in the way of anything serviceable being produced, now that these have been overcome, it is to be hoped that the work involved has not been in vain or valueless.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
