Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Recollections of Dr. John Brown, Author of Rab and His Friends: With a Selection From His Correspondence
Shortly after Dr. Brown's removal from our midst, several touching In M emoriam notices appeared in the newspapers of the day; and subsequently articles in some of the monthlies - namely, an obituary notice in the Edinbwrgh Medical Journal of June 1882; a highly artistic sketch by Mr. Andrew Lang in the Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine in December 1882 1 an erudite article by Professor Masson in M acmillan's Magazine of February 1883 2 a short but lively paper in 1887 by Miss G. T. Ross; a bright and loving Outline in 1889 by Miss E. T. M'laren 3 and in the recent January and February numbers of the United Presbyterian Magazine a clever and discriminating article by Robert Richard son, b.a. But notwithstanding these various some what fragmentary productions, I am aware that there is a call by many who ardently admired and loved Dr. John, ' and a strong desire felt by others who have known him only from his writings or name.
