Book Description
Excerpt from Dundee Celebrities of the Nineteenth Century: Being a Series of Biographies of Distinguished or Noted Persons Connected by Birth, Residence, Official Appointment or Otherwise, With the Town of Dundee; And Who Have Died During the Present Century There is probably no town in the kingdom, having regard to size and population, which has produced a larger number of eminent men, and especially if. 'men who have risen, ' than has the good old town of Dundee. The rapid growth and improvement of the town itself, the unprecedented development and extension of its staple trade, and the con sequent increase 1n its wealth and importance which have taken place within the present century, are something quite marvellous; and it is not going beyond the truth to say, that these extraordinary results are due quite as much to the enterprising spirit, the Singular ability, and the indomitable perseverance of its townsmen, as to any natural facilities or artificial advantages of which the place can boast. It is therefore presumed, that a series of sketches of the more distinguished and noted persons who have latterly figured in its local annals - whose career, in many instances, has been intimately associated with its commercial progress or social advancement - will be of interest to all who are in any way connected with the town.
