Author Description

Excerpt from Christopher North, Vol. 1: A Memoir of John Wilson, Late Professor of Moral Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh I have availed myself of the letters of my father's principal correspondents, so far as they served to throw light on the main subject, or were in themselves inter esting and characteristic. I trust, in doing so, that I have inserted nothing calculated to displease or give pain to any now living. If I have erred in this or other respects, my inexperience in literary work must be my excuse. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
