According to a writer for the LONDON SPECTATOR, the Scottish philosopher and adult educationist Thomas Davidson (1840 - 1900) was, at the time of his death, one of the twelve most learned men in the world. Davidson translated most of the writings of the Italian philosopher, Antonio Rosmini-Serbati, and as a consequence was responsible for the introduction of his philosophical system to English readers. "After graduating from Aberdeen University (1860) [Davidson] successively held the positions of rector of the Grammar School of Old Aberdeen, teacher and professor in various places in England, Scotland, and American. He traveled extensively, and became a proficient linguist, acquiring a knowledge of French, German, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Latin, and Arabic. His ideal was to popularize knowledge among the masses, and with this end in view he founded the London Fabian Society, but lost interest in it when it drifted into socialism. His interest in St. Thomas Aquinas secured for him an invitation from the pope to proceed to Italy and assist in the preface to a new Vatican edition of the saint's works. He organized the Collegiate Institute of Canada and the Glenmore School for Culture Sciences at Keene in the Adirondack Mountains. Davidson's most successful work was in connection with the Educational Alliance in New York, where he attained wide popularity by a series of lectures on sociology. A special class was formed for Jewish young men and women, whom he introduced to the great writers on sociology and their problems. He aimed at founding among them what he called a 'Breadwinners' College,' but his work was cut short by his untimely death." -- Jewish Encyclopedia (in the public domain). First Edition. Hardcover.
