Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketch of the History of Glasgow Subsequent to the death of St. Mungo, the detail of whose life stands out in the bold relief of historical fact, the records of the see established by him are of the most scanty and misty kind possible. There is no doubt that the sanctity pertaining to the resting-place of the bones of so holy a man, kept the establishment together, and drew around it the village which became the nucleus of the future city. The small community is believed to have suffered from the incursion of the Danes, and possibly also from rievers, who did not come from beyond the seas. But, in reality, for the long period of 500 years, there is no authentic record regarding it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Glasgow: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time Some considerable time has now elapsed since the publication of any work claiming to be a record of the rise and progress of Glasgow; and that circumstance, in conjunction With the fact that Within the past few years much has transpired to throw not a little additional light upon important matters hitherto but imperfectly understood, has weighed With the Author in the preparation of this History of Glasgow.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Records of an Old Glasgow Family Is scarcely necessity for an apologetic or other Preface further than to say that I have written what follows from the desire anyone who may possess interesting and authentic records concerning his ancestors naturally has to preserve their evidence, and to hand them on to succeeding generations; possibly I may add, that not having contributed any Twigs to the Family Tree, I feel it a duty, so far as in my power, to perpetuate the memory of its Root and Stem; this I have endeavoured.

Download or read book Notices and Documents Illustrative of the Literary History of Glasgow written by William James Duncan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notices and Documents Illustrative of the Literary History of Glasgow: During the Greater Part of Last Century Several short biographies of Robert and Andrew Foulis have been published, but they seem to have been almost wholly taken from one source, - Lemoine's History of Printing. The late Earl of Buchan, so early as 1795, addressed a letter to Mr John Nicholls, at that time editor of the Gentleman's Magazine, in which he recommends that a more complete memoir of "the Elzevirs of Scotland" should be prepared for one of Pinkerton's biographical works, then publishing. In this letter it is also mentioned that Professors Anderson and Wilson would supply the necessary materials. The Earl seems at length to have taken the task into his own hands, and to have extended his researches to the literary and typographical history of Glasgow generally. In this work, the proposed title of which was "Anecdotes of Printing and Academical Literature at Glasgow," his Lordship was assisted by the late Dr Robert Anderson, but unfortunately it was never completed, - a circumstance the more to be regretted, as a large proportion of the Foulis papers have since perished by fire. The results of their investigations are now in the possession of Miss Anderson, of Edinburgh, by whom they were politely communicated to the editor through the medium of Dr Irving, of the Advocate's Library. About the year 1811 Lord Buchan wrote to Professor Richardson of Glasgow, requesting his reminiscences of the Foulises. The letter written in reply (quoted under the name of "Richardson's Letter") contains much original and interesting information. For access to this document the editor has to acknowledge his obligations to W. R. Gibb, Esquire, into whose possession a copy, with Mr Richardson's interlined corrections, came by descent. The Catalogue of Books has been drawn up principally from the works themselves, and with the assistance of Mr D. Macvean, who turnished a very large mass of materials for it, many of which, and especially the smaller pamphlets, might have been searched for in vain.

These have been chroni cled by others to some extent already, but in reflecting on the past, many minor points Spring up in his memory which are probably worth preserving.

In gathering together the scattered pages of local literary history I have been beset by many difficulties; but if these chronicles prove an effective rejoinder to the common reproach that Glasgow has cut a poor figure in the literature of the country, I shall be well satisfied.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of Old Glasgow Immediately after the issue of my Reminiscences of Printers and Printing (1830 which was printed for private circulation, I was frequently asked and urged to give further remembrances of my native City. The subject was thus kept before me; and, as leisure permitted, memories of over half a century were jotted down, together with brief sketches of Clergymen and Laymen with whom I had been associated or had come in contact.

Download or read book The Old College written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old College: Being the Glasgow University Album, for 1869 The History of Glasgow University has yet to be written. Why this should be so, it is hard to say, considering the importance of the subject, and the abundance of materials from which such a work might be compiled. We are not ambitious on this occasion of attempting the task, being content to discourse briefly, and after an easy and rambling fashion, befitting not the sterner and more decorous style of the historian, concerning a few of the leading events in the history Of the College. It is difficult for us who live in an age of telegraphs, steam-engines and the penny press, to realise the ignorance and barbarity in which our ancestors of the middle ages were sunk. Italy, Germany and France were first to throw off the lethargy in which for centuries they in common with the western world had slumbered, and during the fifteenth century, thanks to the exertions of Pope Nicholas and other illustrious pioneers of thought.

This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and History of Glasgow Streets IT is impossible within the limits of a single volume to give the origin or history of every street - a great many having fancy names, to discover the meaning of 'which would be somewhat of the nature of a conundrum. An instance occurs in Belmar Terrace, Pollokshields - the original proprietor of which having two daughters Bella and Marion, took the first syllable from each of these cognomens, and produced a fair-sounding title for his property. Royalty and nobility are likewise utilised to a considerable extent, and although no pretence is made in this work as to an exhaustion of the subject yet it may safely be asserted that it contains more information anent the principal thoroughfares of this city than any previous publication. In regard to personal names connected with trades, from which they accrued, there are at present in the city, one Mason, a builder; Hair, a barber; Baxter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Traditions of Glasgow: Historical, Legendary and Biographical In the following pages we have endeavoured to collate from almost every source available to us, a few of the more graphic and striking sketches of life and character from the History of Glasgow, at its different stages, partly with the view of stimulating our readers to a more systematic and consecutive study of that History, and partly with the view of exhibiting some of the essential principles and underlying forces of the city's progress and prosperity, so that our young readers especially may not become bewildered with the multitudinous and ever increasing details of our city's life and interests, but come into living contact with its heart and spirit, and thus become partakers of its inner life, and conduct their own lives in harmony with its best and noblest traditions. We make no pretence to Originality of research. The only merit we claim is that of careful selec tion and combination; and of having kept steadily in view, the elucidation of what we consider to be the leading and guid ing principles that have gone to make Glasgow what it now undoubtedly is, the Second City in the United Kingdom. Like the Popular History of Glasgow, published seven' years ago, the present work is chiefly intended for the rising generation of our citizens, and to those others who have not had the opportunity of perusing the larger and costlier works that have been written; and to these classes we trust the book will afford some pleasure and instruction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Glasgow: A History of the City of Glasgow From the Earliest Times to the Year 1611 The history so designed was accordingly commenced shortly after the publication of the volume referred to, and was brought down as far as the year 1600, but when that period was reached the manuscript was laid aside to make way for preparation of the book on The River Géyda and tire Clyde Burg/25, upon which Sir James bestowed most of his attention in the closing years of his life. It is to be regretted that greater progress was not made in the work, but still it is fortunate that the portion accomplished covers a period of the city's history with which the author was so specially qualified to deal.
