Preview Reminiscences

Description:
From the author's Forward: The reminiscences that follow were not intended by their author for the general public. In the last year of his life Dr. Mackinnon conceived the idea of writing an intimate record of his career for the enjoyment of his family and a few friends. Only the urgent entreaty of those who read the manuscript and recognized its unusual quality finally induced him to consent to its publication.


The author has given us not merely an absorbingly interesting record of his own eventful life, but in these reminiscences, he makes apt and incisive observations on happenings of world interest during his lifetime. As one revels in the comment, the conversations and the flashed of humour that scintillate in these pages it is hard to realize that the whole was planned and written within ten months of Dr. Mackinnon's death and that the final chapters were composed while his strength was swiftly ebbing away.
