Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Lives of Robert Haldane of Airthrey: And of His Brother, James Alexander Haldane
The compiler is not insensible to the delicacy of his position, as the biographer of relatives so greatly beloved and revered. But if his position has its disadvantages, these are not Without compensation. No stranger could so well delineate their character, or, at all events, detail the facts of their lives, as one who from childhood enjoyed their intimacy and confidence whilst a close and continuous correspondence for nearly thirty years, in connexion with all their plans, works, and writings, together with the possession of numerous other letters and documents, extending over a period embracing the whole of their career, must afford more than ordinary means for illustrating their motives, their opinions, and their acts.
