But the old Lord was not likely to go from Berlin to Venice, whither Charles was hastening. What he did or desired in Paris we do not know. He is said to have visited Lally Tollendal, and he must have seen Waters, his banker.
The unfortunate pupil of course continued to grimace, and the wretched schoolmaster to flog, till the pupil streamed with blood, and the master sat down from sheer exhaustion and an injury from which he never recovered. Before John Hill Burton had completed his course at the grammar school he gained a bursary by competition, and began his studies at Marischal College.
The Dutchman was as kind as possible, and begged Ericson to stay the night and occupy his berth. But he insisted on going home, although he was clearly unfit for such a walk. They bade the skipper good-night, went on shore, and set out, Ericson leaning rather heavily upon Robert's arm. Robert led him up Marischal Street. The steep ascent was too much for Ericson.
Philosopher, b. at Aberdeen, and graduated at Marischal Coll. there, became in 1860 Professor of Logic in his university, and wrote a number of works on philosophy and psychology, including The Senses and the Intellect , The Emotions and the Will, Mental and Moral Science , Logic , and Education as a Science .

He was going over to Paris, to extract information from the Earl Marischal.
