Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Sir Robert Christison, Bart, Vol. 1 of 2 The Manuscript from which the First Volume of this publication is formed was found among Sir Robert Christison's papers after his death. It consists of an Autobiography of the first thirty-three years of his life, is written in a clear and beautiful hand, almost without correction or erasure, and entirely free from blot from beginning to end, and is neatly bound in three little volumes by Sir Robert's own hand. We, his sons, were not aware during his lifetime that he was engaged on this work, but from internal evidence it must have been written at intervals between 1870 and 1879, partly from memory, but chiefly from original notes and letters, some of which still exist. The MS. breaks off quite abruptly, without explanation, and we can only conjecture that increasing years had deprived him of the strength or inclination to carry on the account of his life.
