Excerpt from Sir Henry Wotton: A Biographical Sketch Dear Christie, - Will you allow me to dedicate to you the following trifle? This sketch was originally written to serve as a Monday Popular Lecture at the College which honours you as one of its most generous benefactors, and in which the Christie Library and the Whitworth Hall will soon stand side by side as enduring monuments of your goodwill towards our highest and our widest interests. The substance of my brief narrative was put together during a summer holiday at Braemar, and had it not been for your never-failing aid, I should have had to leave Scioppius to take care of himself. It may seem presumptuous on my part to wish to connect an attempt which here and there touches the confines of the Later Renascence period, with the name of one who is master of every part of that interesting and complicated chapter of European literature and life.
