Synopsis
Excerpt from A Memorial Tribute to William Macgillivray, M.A. LL. D
The sketch of Professor macgillivray's life and work which follows was at first written in the form, and with the brevity, of an article intended for a newspaper in connection with the movement, then begun, for the promotion of a Memorial of him; but it was not so used, and was retained, altered, and added to from time to time, the result partly of suggestions from friends, most of them former pupils of the Professor, and partly of information which came to me from different sources at odd times. It is in no sense a Life of my eminent namesake - for such a work I am not competent - but merely an appreciative sketch in which I have tried to record, and to some extent illustrate, my own conception of his special pre-emi nence as an ornithologist, and my warm admiration of his high qualities of mind and character, as these come out so prominently in connection with his life's work in the different spheres in which his lot had been.
