Robert Gordon, 1665-1731: His Hospital, 1750-1876, And His College, 1880 (1886) is a historical book written by Robert Gordon. The book primarily focuses on the life and legacy of Robert Gordon, a Scottish merchant and philanthropist who lived from 1665 to 1731. The book is divided into two parts, the first part detailing the history of Gordon’s hospital from its establishment in 1750 until 1876, and the second part covering the history of his college from its founding in 1880. The book provides a detailed account of Gordon’s life and his contributions to the city of Aberdeen, Scotland. It also explores the history of the hospital and college that were established in his name, and the impact they had on the community. The author uses primary sources and historical documents to provide a comprehensive overview of the institutions and their development over time. Overall, Robert Gordon, 1665-1731: His Hospital, 1750-1876, And His College, 1880 (1886) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Aberdeen or the life and legacy of Robert Gordon. It provides a detailed account of the development of two important institutions in the city and sheds light on the philanthropic efforts of a notable figure in Scottish history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
