Sinopsis
Excerpt from James Melvin: Rector of the Grammar School of Aberdeen
Inside were simple enough. Each of the four oblong class-rooms had a raised desk for the master in one angle, and two rows of factions as they were called wooden seats, with narrow sloping writing benches in front of them - along the two sides of the oblong, so as to leave a free passage of some width in the middle for the master, when he chose to walk from end to end. Each faction was constructed to hold four boys, so that the look of a full class-room was that of a company of boys seated in two parallel sub-divisions of fours along the walls. In the public school, where meetings of all the classes together took place for general pur poses, the main desk, a wooden structure of several tiers, was in the middle of the long side of the oblong, immediately Opposite the main door, and there were four sets of somewhat larger factions.

Excerpt from James Melvin: Rector of the Grammar School of Aberdeen
The following Sketch appeared originally in Macmillan s Magazine for January 1864, and is now reprinted for the special occasion, and in the special circumstances, explained in the Appendices. These, which I have had the opportunity of reading in proof, have interested me much, not only as showing how many other still living persons remember Melvin vividly and share my affection for him, but also as containing particulars and anecdotes about him not known to me before. The volume has been edited and seen through the press by Mr. P. J. Anderson, Librarian of the University of Aberdeen; and it is peculiarly fitting that this service of respect to the memory of a recent Aberdonian scholar should have been performed by the man who has the largest and most loving knowledge of all the older centuries of the intellectual history of the North of Scotland.
