AN English nobleman arrived at an
inn in Glasgow, and desired the waiter to send for the principal tailor.
After a short time his lordship was waited upon by a venerable,
respectable-looking gentleman, whose appearance did not comport with the
description of personage whose services he required. Howsoever, he
proceeded to business, and explained his wishes. The gentleman was at
first amazed, but soon cleared up the mistake by informing his lordship he
was
the Rev. Principal Taylor of the University, and that
he understood he had been sent for. The blunder led to the commencement of
an agreeable acquaintance. The reverend gentleman was Principal, from 1803
to 1823. |
