Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of John Home, Esq., Vol. 1 of 3: Now First Collected, to Which Is Prefixed, an Account of His Life and Writings The reader of this Biographical Account may perhaps be surprised to find it now given to the public in the same form as it was originally read to the Royal Society of Edinburgh. In truth, there was at that time no intention of publishing it, as I conceived the life of Mr Home, the situation of the friends with whom he was connected, and the circumstances of the time in which he lived, to be so locally peculiar to Scotland, that they would not interest readers of the sister kingdom.
