Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fortitude and Frailty, Vol. 3 of 4: A Novel in Inscribed to the Revered Memory of Her Lamented Father
M r. M'donald had been greatly attached to the place where he had spent so many years in voluntary seclusion, and where he had intended to have ended his days, should he have escaped the perils to which his adoption of a savage state would have ex posed his person among the hordes of Ame rica. In the course of his illness, he had expressed lively regret, that, if he should die, his remains would not be interred near the spot which had been the theatre of his important researches; where he had labo riously unfathomed sublime truths; and where he had composed that immortal work, which was to enlighten the civilized world, and render the name of m'donald dear to posterity.
