Excerpt from The Waverley Novels: An Appreciation Charles alexander young, the author of this Appreciation, was born on new-year's Day, 1880, and perished in the earthquake of April, 1905, at Dharmsala, India. He was educated at the High School of Stirling and the University of Glasgow, and for both school and college he had a very loyal affection.
