WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO GERMAN THEORIES. BY GAVIN HAMILTON, OF THE ELGIN ACADEMY. Causam investigato in re admirabili, si poteris: si nullam reperies, illud tamen exploratum JAMES GORDON, EDINBURGH. HAMILTON, ADAMS, AND CO., LONDON. 295. A. 53. 305. 2.80 ΤΟ WILLIAM RAMSAY, ESQ., M.A. TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE; PROFESSOR OF HUMANITY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW; AUTHOR OF DEAR MR. RAMSAY, I dedicate this volume to you, in remembrance of the happy hours I spent in the class-room, where from your eloquent lips I learned to love the literature of Rome; in glad and grateful acknowledgment of the generosity that cemented the acquaintance there commenced by the closer ties of genuine friendship; and in the hope that on that University, where so many illustrious Humanists have taught, the torch of learning transmitted from a long line of scholars to be taken up by you, may for many years continue to throw the lustre of its bright and mellow light. Ever, DEAR MR. RAMSAY, Most truly thine, GAVIN HAMILTON. |
