Synopsis

Excerpt from Rab and His Friends, and Other Papers and Essays

But of his memoirs, the most important of all is the gravest, and that is his account of his father. It is one almost unique among the tributes which have been paid by distinguished sons to the memory of the sires whom they reverenced. Moreover, it gives us many tell-tale, inimitable glimpses of his own early life, and lets us see how the homely Scottish aroma came to be so natively and sweetly diffused from his intimate chronicles. He has written eloquently on other favourite subjects, but with him it is still at home, as it was with Sir Walter Scott, that his imagination struck deepest.
