Noctes Ambrosianae Part Three

1875. Volume III with memoirs and notes by R. Shelton Mackenzie. Wilson, a Scottish author, was among the first contributors to Blackwood's Magazine. After joining the staff he quickly became one of its chief critical writers. His Tory sympathies gained him the chair of moral philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. His best-known work is in the Noctes Ambrosianae, an occasional discursive feature of Blackwood's to which he contributed the majority of the articles. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty or faded.
