Maclaurin : [writings quoted in a letter from Thomas Murray to Carlyle]

'I was greatly diverted by your specimen of Mr. Maclaurin's prose-run-mad. He seems to have imbibed, in the full sense of the word, the melody of his native mountains; - and who can doubt, that, in a short time he will chaunt right pleasantly, with Celtic sweetness the praises and perfections of this [underscored twice]lamb of his heart[end underscoring]!'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Thomas Carlyle      Manuscript: Letter
