This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Matriculation Albums of the University of Glasgow: From 1728-1858 William Innes Addison was born in the parish Of Brechin in Forfarshire on 22nd March, 1857. Although he was the eldest son of the family, he did not take to his father's occupation of farming, for, after his school-days were over, led by some dim feeling or presentiment of what was needed for his future work, he became, at the age of fourteen, an articled apprentice to Messrs. Shiress Whitson, solicitors in Brechin, with whom he spent four years engaged in the usual routine Of elementary work in a law Office. The next four years saw him in Edinburgh, gaining fruitful experience in business and in the study of Law at the University. In July, 1875, he joined the staff in the office of Mr. A. Kirk Mackie, who was for many years Solicitor and Secretary to the Edinburgh Merchant Company, with its Schools and Colleges, and Legal Adviser with regard to the Company's Estates. During the first eighteen months he was employed in general work, including conveyancing, accounts and correspondence, and in preparing Abstracts of the Feu Rights contained in many volumes of Chartularies, extending over 150 years, and referring to feuing estates in at least five different counties in Scotland. He was afterwards appointed chief cashier, and in this capacity had from to per annum passing through his hands. This included the collection of the income of the Merchant Company and several of its endowed Schools and Colleges, and the payment of Salaries to Teachers, allowances to Foundationers, and annuities to Widows, besides large capital payments for loans, purchases of property, and banking transactions. In the stress Of these onerous duties he did not allow his attention to be absorbed by the details of business, but showed a desire to obtain a grasp of the principles of his profession. With this view, hard pressed though he was in his daily work, he found time for study, and attended the classes of Scots Law and Conveyancing, gaining Honours in the latter. In 1879 he removed to Glasgow and entered the chambers of Messrs. James Ritchie, Maclean Co. With this firm and their successors he remained eight years, with entire charge of the Cash and Book-keeping departments, besides taking a substantial share in strictly law business and in the administration of numerous and wealthy Trusts. In this period some matters of special interest fall to be noted, viz. (1) his attendance at Arts Classes (humanity, English Literature, and Moral Philosophy) between 1880 and 1884; (2) his admission as a Notary Public in 1881; and (3) his marriage in 1885.

Download or read book A Reference Guide for English Studies written by Michael J. Marcuse and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious undertaking is designed to acquaint students, teachers, and researchers with reference sources in any branch of English studies, which Marcuse defines as "all those subjects and lines of critical and scholarly inquiry presently pursued by members of university departments of English language and literature.'' Within each of 24 major sections, Marcuse lists and annotates bibliographies, guides, reviews of research, encyclopedias, dictionaries, journals, and reference histories. The annotations and various indexes are models of clarity and usefulness, and cross references are liberally supplied where appropriate. Although cost-conscious librarians will probably consider the several other excellent literary bibliographies in print, such as James L. Harner's Literary Research Guide (Modern Language Assn. of America, 1989), larger academic libraries will want Marcuse's volume.-- Jack Bales, Mary Washington Coll.

Download or read book Doctors and Slaves written by Richard B. Sheridan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study Professor Sheridan presents a rich and wide-ranging account of the health care of slaves in the British West Indies, from 1680-1834. He demonstrates that while Caribbean island settlements were viewed by mercantile statesmen and economists as ideal colonies, the physical and medical realities were very different. The study is based on wide research in archival materials in Great Britain, the West Indies and the United States. By steeping himself in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century sources, Professor Sheridan is able to recreate the milieu of a past era: he tells us what the slave doctors wrote and how they functioned, and he presents a storehouse of information on how and why the slaves sickened and died. By bringing together these diverse medical demographic and economic sources, Professor Sheridan casts new light on the history of slavery in the Americas.
