At the heart of the Scottish Thought lay a few dozen literary and scientific figures who distinguished themselves in fields as diverse as medicine, belles-lettres, poetry, drama, philosophy, religion, political economy, and history. Some of the best biographies of these literati were published in the nineteenth century, often by personal friends who were prominent men of letters in their own right. This set collects together seven of the most important of those biographical accounts. Each title is extremely rare today, and most have never before been reprinted. Each includes a new introduction, specially commissioned for the series.
