Excerpt from The Literature of the Georgian Era The Literature of the Georgian Era were origi nally delivered, not to the Arts students whom he addressed in the University class-room, but to a special audience brought together in the Music Hall of Aberdeen, under the auspices of the Local Examination Committee of the Senatus Academicus. This will explain why some points are treated in greater detail than would have been necessary in addressing advanced students. As explained in the Introduction, to Mr. John H. Lobban belongs the credit - as he had all the labor - of looking up and copying out the illus trative extracts from the authors referred to or criticized by his master.
