Excerpt from SongsHis native place was the town of Greenock, on the Firth of Clyde, where he was born in 1804. His school training he received first in Greenock, afterwards at a boarding-school in Paisley. With him, as With most native-bred Scots, school time seems to have counted for little, college life for much. When he left school he went to Glasgow University, -the usual resort of all the abler youth belonging to western Scotland. He partook of that warmer, more imaginative temperament which seems to belong more to the west of Scotland than to the east, and which has alwajs greatly enriched the student life in Glasgow University. Is it that in the western people there is more Celtic blood to warm their veins? Or is it that the milder atmosphere of the west is more quickening to feeling and imagination than the dour andrepressing east winds, driving men in upon them selves?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
