Then one sunny morning there was a knock at my door, and in walked a broad shouldered, brown-bearded personage, with a burly gait, a deep, bluff voice, and a strong, good-humored countenance. My prophetic soul divined him before he announced his name-it was blaikie himself. My eyes perused him anxiously from top to toe, and my heart was satisfied.

...after death and presented to Prof. Charles Eliot Norton by Thomas Carlyle. Next you turn to a glass case which contains many a precious book, whose leaves have been thumbed by men whose names have been household words for centuries. Here is the old Indian Bible of that heroic soul, John Eliot; also the Bible of John Bunyan, with his autograph on the title page, which bears the date 1637. The Bay Psalm Book, the first work published in America, must not escape your attention...
