Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years' Recollections, Literary and Personal, Vol. 3 of 3: With Observations on Men and Things A publisher, Mr. Cochrane, then resident in Waterloo Place, spoke to me upon the subject of a new work, to be called The Metropolitan.' Would I undertake it and obtain Campbell as the editor? It was not pos sible to pay him as he had been paid before; he should have a moiety of the sum, and only send in a few verses when he pleased.

Moore, who would not touch the New Monthly from its original sin, at once consented to contribute; and Montgomery, of Sheffield, to give his lectures. Mont gomery was a most amiable man, with no very fixed principles of a political nature. Several old literary friends joined us, and Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd, and Delta, of Blackwood's Magazine in other words, the lamented Mr. Moir, of Musselburgh. I had made a notice of his little History of Medicine, ' with which he was much pleased. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
