JOHN BROWN With Letters from Ruskin, Thackeray, and Others EDITED BY HIS SON AND D. W. FORREST, D. D. WITH BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTIONS BY ELIZABETH T. MLAREN J. LONDON ADAM AND CHARLES BLACK 1907 BROWN I OE3DICATE THESE LETTERS TO MY CHILDREN, AJSTO HOPE, AS THEY REAO THEM, THEY - WILL COME TO LOVE THEIR GRANDFATHER, WHOM XT IS THEIR MISFORTUNE NOT TO HAVE ICNOWN IN LIFE, J. B. TO DR, JOHN BROWN Beyond the north wind lay the land of old Where men dwelt blithe and blameless, clothed and fed With joys bright raiment, and with loves sweet bread, -The whitest flock of earths maternal fold, None there might wear about his brows enrolled A light of lovelier fame than ringa your head, Whose lovesorae love of children and the dead All men give tab for s I far off behold A dear dead hand that links us, and a light The blithest and benignest of the night. The night of deaths sweet sleep, wherein may be A star to show your spirit in present sight Some happier island in the Elysian sea Where Bab may lick the hand of Mwjorie. PREFACE THE following letters form a sketch of my fathers life from his own pen, and I hope that nothing in them will give pain to his personal friends, but rather pleasure. To the readers of his books, whom I venture also to call his friends, they will, I think, give a more intimate knowledge of him than can be gathered from his writings. It must be remembered that the contents of this volume are in the truest sense letters. The reader, therefore, should bear in mind that the criticisms in them are in many cases not carefully weighed opinions, but are considerably influenced by the feelings of the moment and the character of the person to whom the letter isaddressed. I have thought it best to give the letters from Dr. Brown by themselves in fact, to make them, as it were, an Auto biography. It will be seen that there are very few of the letters addressed to him to which we have his answers. Where this is the case the reference is given. The letters addressed to Dr. Brown are selected partly on account of their literary interest and partly as showing the strong affection felt towards him by writers differing so widely from each other in circumstances and in character. The Rev, Dr Forrest has rendered me valuable help in the editing of the letters and I am much indebted to Miss M Laren for having written the biographical introductions. I have also to thank Professor Crum Brown, Mr. J. Irvine Smith, Professor Hume Brown, the Rev. Dr. Alexander MLaren, and Dr. J. Sutherland Black for advice and assistance Through the kindness of Lady Ritchie and Letters of Dr, John Brown Messrs. Smith, Elder and Co., I have been able to make use of the letters of Thackeray to my father, find for a similar favour in the case of the Ruskin letters I am indebted to Mr, Alexander Wedderburn. To Mr. Swinburne for his kind permission to print his Sonnet, and to all who have sent me for publication letters of my father, or have allowed me to publish letters written to him, I return my sincere thanks.
