AN proposes, God disposes." After all the eager desires and strenuous efforts to attain a situation where he might become independent of other resources than his own, after he had happily attained it, and had addressed himself so energetically to its duties, --duties which very few youths of his age would have attempted, --an aspect wholly unexpected was given to his future prospects by the following letter from Professor Edward Forbes. " 6, Craig's Court, Charing Cross, London, " 29th April 1845. " Dear Edmondston.--Before stating what I write about, I must request an immediate answer by return of post to this. " An expedition is going out to the Pacific and California. It sails in a fortnight. This morning I have been sent for to the admiralty to say whether I could recommend a naturalist at a moment's notice, as Prince Albert had desired that a naturalist should be appointed to accompany the expedition. The salary will be between 250 and 300 a year, finding mess out of it. This I consider good pay. Now it seems to me that this would be an admirable opportunity for you, both to pursue your scientific aims, and to lay the basis of a distinguished reputation. It is very short notice, but I went to the Oregon on a shorter, having got all ready in a week. It may lead to much better things than your Andersonian appointment could possibly do. " Now, if you write at once, saying that you would like to go (there is no time to consult friends at a distance), I will do everything in my power to get you appointed, and can almost promise you the appointment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young Shetlander: Or Shadow Over the Sunshine; Being Life and Letters of Thomas Edmondston, Naturalist on Board H. M. S. "Herald" The following record has been often asked for, by the many friends of a talented and greatly beloved young man. It is at length offered in the hope that it may prove instructive as well as interesting. The locality where he was born and brought up is peculiar and little known, even in these days of incessant travelling. Thirty years ago it was in a much more primitive and isolated condition. Steam communication, penny postage, and cheap literature, were then in the first stages of existence, for which reason some of the episodes and descriptions that mingle with the biographical narrative are recorded, as displaying a phase of society now almost obsolete in Britain, and also as illustrative of their bearing on the formation of a powerful and attractive character.
