Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1868 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XI. 1845. AN proposes, God disposes." After all the eager desires and strenuous efforts to attain a situation where he might become independent of other resources than his own, after he had happily attained it, and had addressed himself so energetically to its duties, --duties which very few youths of his age would have attempted, --an aspect wholly unexpected was given to his future prospects by the following letter from Professor Edward Forbes.

The salary will be between 250 and 300 a year, finding mess out of it. This I consider good pay.

" Now, if you write at once, saying that you would like to go (there is no time to consult friends at a distance), I will do everything in my power to get you appointed, and can almost promise you the appointment. Should it be so, you will have to come to London at once to prepare. " There will be no time to get any replies to any letter of yours to Shetland, but I feel sure...
