Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glasgow Streets and Places: Notes and Memoranda by the Late James Muir, C. A Some one has said that consummate men of business are almost as rare as great poets, and more rare than saints and martyrs. Like most apothegms, this is not free from exaggeration; but it has enough of truth to impress all who, by experience and observation, have learned to distinguish between the first-class man of business and the ordinary business-man. In Scotland, of course, we recognise a professional quality in the "man of business" not suggested in the apothegm, and it so happens that the subject of this memoir was pre-eminently a man of business, both in the general and in the Scottish sense. Not six months have gone, whilst these lines are being penned, since he passed suddenly away, with that peculiar shock of suddenness which marks the departure of one with whom you have never associated the thought of death.
