Excerpt from The Day-Book of John Stuart Blackie A man of wide speculation and acquirement, very fearless, very kindly, without ill-humour, and without guile. Thomas Carlyle. So genuine, so simple, so susceptible of a pure enthusiasm, so detached from self, so attached to things kindly, pure, and noble. William Ewart Gladstone. It was impossible not to love him, not only for his fiery energy and determination to work out for good whatever power had been given him, but for the truly original purity of his nature. Sir Theodore Martin. He always took, as I have attempted to take, the healthy estimate of life. George Meredith. A man with a passion for truth. George Macdonald.

John Stuart Blackie was one of the most impressive and influential figures of nineteenth-century Scotland, as well as one of the most striking and flamboyant. As an intellectual he translated Goethe's Faust and brought first-hand knowledge of German philosophy to Scotland as a means of keeping the Enlightenment tradition alive. As first Professor of Humanity at Aberdeen from 1839 to 1852 and then as Professor of Greek at Edinburgh until 1882, he played a, perhaps the, central role in modernising the Scottish university curriculum, removing the dead hand of theological orthodoxy, raising standards (and the entry age), introducing tutorial teaching and establishing new chairs (including the Edinburgh chair of Celtic). His role in the reform of secondary school teaching was equally central. But Blackie was also a great 'public man', corresponding with great and famous throughout Great Britain and Europe, from Goethe and Carlyle to Ruskin and Gladstone, and filling the pages of newspapers and journals with writings on the major issues of the day. For the last thirty years of his life he became closely involved in issues of Scottish nationalism and home rule, and as champion of the crofters is largely responsible for their contemporary survival and unique status. Despite the existence of a rich archive of his papers and letters, there has been only one book devoted to his life: The Life of Professor John Stuart Blackie, the most distinguished Scotsman of the day, edited by J. G. Duncan and published in 1895.

Excerpt from The Life of Professor John Stuart Blackie: The Most Distinguished Scotsman of the Day This book is not intended to be a full and continuous biography of the late Professor John Stuart Blackie. So serious a work as that de mands the services of one who, admitted to a closer friendship than I can claim, has also a greater literary power. I aim rather at giving the impressions left on my own mind and the minds of others, by a study of the life and work, the sayings and sermons, the songs and lectures, the literary and other achievements of the late Professor. This volume is but a humble attempt to give a popular sketch of the man to estimate as far as possible the value of his contributions to contemporary thought and life; to present within brief limits a picture of what he was and what he has done.
