THE LIFE OF THE REV. THOMAS SCOTT. CHAPTER I. INCLUDING THE FIRST SIXTEEN YEARS THE public are already apprized, that my honoured father left behind him a written memoir of his own life, brought down to the year 1812. The first sentence of this manuscript will explain, at once, his reason for so doing, and the nature of the composition." As there can be little doubt," he says, " that, after my decease, something in the way of memoir, or narrative, will be published concerning me, to prevent misinformation, and to supply a few authentic materials, I purpose, in the following sheets, to state such facts as seem of sufficient importance, leaving it, in general, to others to make their observations upon them." Hence it would seem, that not so much to write for the public eye, as to furnish" authentic materials" B |
