Book Description
Excerpt from Memorials of Early Genius, and Achievements in the Pursuit of Knowledge Tau varied examples which the following narratives of the victories of Early Genius exhibit, afl'ord evidence, no less of the still higher worth of moral excellence, and the power of that Divine teaching which the Gospel alone affords. Witho out its sanctifying influence, even the genius of Chatterton, and the gentle and loveable character of Shelley, prove all in vain as means for attaining the lofty station which their great gifts seemed to promise in their dawn while in Milton and New ton we behold the greatest intellects that ever elevated man above his species bowing down with reverent humility before the far higher truths which the word of God reveals. As examples of genius thus dignified by Christianity, and accomplishing success only by exertions adequate to the worth of their high aim, these biographical sketches are offered to the reader. In the examples they afford, he will find astimu lus to honourable exertion; while they prove how arduous have been the struggles by which even the most gifted have attained to imperishable honours, and noble rewards.(artists.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memorials: Of the Lineage, Early Life, Education, and Development of the Genius of James Watt Merits of so transcendent a character surely claimed the unanimous testimony of his country's gratitude. AS yet, however, no public recognition of them had been made. It was only natural and becoming that such a testimony should originate in the town, and in the heart of the community which enjoyed the privilege of num bering james watt among its sons. Beyond the general advantages derived from his prolific invention that were shared in common with the rest of the nation, the town of Greenock lay under signal obliga tions to the generosity as well as the genius of Watt. The adapta tion of the steam-engine to the purposes of Navigation had given a remarkable impulse to its trade. The new requirements of this important branch of industry had caused the establishment of Found ries, Forges, and Engine-works, till then almost unknown in this portion of the country. A spirit of active enterprise had been evoked - not unobserved by the great mechanician himself; who, anxious that it might be rightly animated, - that the awakened ingenuity might be William Street, known as The Greenodc Tavern, Alan Swan. Kept by Mrs. Cunningham, and subsequently by William Kerr. Mrs. Lyle, and, in 1824, by Mrs. Fairlie. After James Mollison, M.D. Their removal to the Greenock Tavern, several new W'illiam Scott.
