Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the County of Perth A mass of material had to be sought out, scrutinized, and such evidences (as to historical value) selected and arranged as far as possible' in chronological order, so as to give effect to the whole, which seemed an almost impossible task. I may be permitted to say, however, that whatever my shortcomings may be, and they are many; whatever my inability as a writer may be, and it is great; no one, I trust, will ever charge me with insincerity or unfaithfulness in prosecuting this important work. In that great realm of history, where men's motives must be judged largely by their actions, it is a solemn responsibility resting on the single mind of the historian that no unjust reflections be made on those whose lips are forever closed in everlasting silence.

Download or read book The Publishing and Marketing of Illustrated Literature in Scotland 1760 1825 written by Sandro Jung and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ground-breaking contribution to the economic and cultural history of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century publishing of illustrated belles lettres in Scotland, the book offers detailed accounts of numerous agents of prints (booksellers, printers, designers, engravers) and their involvement in the making and marketing of illustrated editions. It examines the ways in which the makers of books not only produced printed visual culture artefacts but also contributed to the ideological inscription of these illustrations to engender patriotic concerns and issues of national identity. The book differs fundamentally from existing interventions in book illustration studies: Examinations of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British literary book illustrations have, as a rule, been selective rather than broad in scope or systematic in outlook; they have focused on English examples of book illustrations. By contrast, The Publishing and Marketing of Illustrated Literature in Scotland, 1760-1820 studies a large body of illustrated editions andadopts a systematic and decentered (non-London-centered) approach. It focuses on the examination of the production of literary book illustrations in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Scotland, while at the same time bearing in mind that developments in the marketing of illustrated books need to be understood as part of the cultural and book-historical dynamics of exchange that existed between Scotland and England. Not only does the monograph offer the first large-scale study of the subject, contextualizing literary book illustrations in terms of the ideologically defined ventures as part of which they were issued, but it also draws a map of illustrated works that has not been imagined yet by scholars of the history of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century book. In doing so, the book provides an account of the publishing of belles lettres and the various strategies that bookseller-publishers deployed to market their editions competitively in both Scotland and England.
Download or read book The Episcopal History of Perth 1689 1894 Classic Reprint written by Geo T. S. Farquhar and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Episcopal History of Perth, 1689-1894 IN 1887, when there was no longer any doubt that the nave of Perth Cathedral would be erected, it occurred to me that a leaflet containing some account of the past of the institution might be useful in the interests Of the building fund. The frequent discovery, however, of new material, combined with the incessant calls of pastoral work, constantly delayed me and changed the character of my undertaking. Had it not been that my position, as member of a Cathedral staff, sets me free from the overwhelmingly arduous duty of preaching two sermons every Sunday to the same congregation, my attempt would probably have come to nothing. As it is, the reader has the result now before him in the present volume. My, object has simply been to do what has never been attempted before, viz. -to bring to light the full Truth concerning the History Of the Church in Perth during the last two centuries, or somewhat longer. It may indeed be argued by some that, as the Truth in this case proves to be of so troubled a character, it would have been better to leave it in its former Obscurity; but my idea is this: that on all occasions (and, therefore, in the present instance), the Truth is the best foundation on which to build. It has its own sure way, sooner or later, of rewarding its followers. We cannot altogether say how, in the matter here dealt with, it will do so; but that such will ultimately be the case, we are confident. Thisviii. Episcopal History Of' Perth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Perth: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time One word in reference to a work entitled A New History of Perth, and announced nearly twelve months ago as preparing for pub lication. In two of the local newspapers it has been stated, that the work now submitted to the public would be an imitation of the one I refer to. Now, in perusing the prospectus issued by the projectors of that publication, it will be found that their New History of Perth is, in its principal features, to be a reprint of the Muses Threnodie, with a digest of Mr Cant's notes and one thing is obvious that The History of Perth compiled by me is altogether on a difl'erent plan from that. It yet remains to be seen which history is the imitation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Life of the Rev John Milne of Perth Classic Reprint written by Horatius Bonar and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of the Rev. John Milne of Perth It is not a eulogy that i wish to write, but a record. I should like to show the man, not to execute a piece of sculpture. In doing this, it will be needful to introduce 'companions in labour, ' - from him who died first, Robert M'Cheyne, to him who went last, William Burns; with others still serving here below. Some names may have been left out; but it was found impossible to make mention of all. The religious history of the last forty years in Scotland remains to be written. Biographies, like the present, are contributions to this. I fear I may not have been quite accurate chronologically at times; but the narrative is not at all affected by this. As very few of Mr. Milne's letters are fully dated, I was occasionally at a loss in regard to order and time. Several things have been thrown in purposely out of order, because needing to be grouped, for the illustration of some particular feature of character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Perth Incident of 1396: From a Folk-Lore Point of View History of the uneducated is neither better nor worse than Folk-lore. Education is a matter of comparison. There is a natural credulity in man which accepts anything stated on authority, and this, in religion, is a part of the national life. If you want anything believed, Speak as if you knew it was a fact. It may be repeated for so many years that it may take some courage to doubt, let alone deny. In the present case, proposing to study the origin of two clan names, much that will be said will be in very marked opposition to what is commonly believed, and will, no doubt, in many cases be treated as heretical, and even possibly as absurd. The writer is no philologist: he desires to be an interpreter of folk-lore, and believing that all folk-lore has some kernel of fact, and is not mere fancy, it is of this kernel he is in search.
