Steel, iron, railroads, autos all enriched the man who nevertheless did not forget his humble roots as the son of an impoverished weaver. Carnegie famously gave away most of his wealth, endowing numerous libraries and other arts and civic institutions around the world.**Scottish Author John Brown, MD, FRSE, FRCPE, (1810-1882) is described by one contemporary biographer as "a popular writer and beloved physician," who never went to work without "a volume of Southey, Coleridge, Scott, Wordsworth or other distinguished author under his arm." (A. Peddie, p. 20). Descended from a large fraternity of Presbyterian minsters, the Edinburgh writer was an extremely popular and empathetic general practitioner from the 1820's, days when cholera, typhus and childhood mortality did their worst, and when surgery was done without chloroform or anesthetic. Having been apprenticed to the surgeon Dr. James Syme in the 1820's, he had opinions on medical and surgical matters, many of which he discusses in "Horae Subsecivae." However, he also had much to say about dogs and authors and philosophy. This collection of his essays contains all the best works he is perhaps known for, including "Rab and His Friends," (dogs again) "Minchmoor" and various sketches of contemporary writers, including his personal friend Thackeray and Tennyson's great friend, Arthur Hallam. **Bookbinders James Henderson & William Bisset worked in Edinburgh in the nineteenth century.
