Well done, galvo. Yes it is Sir Walter Scott.

He is also called "The Wizard of the North".

Thank you. The following quote is attributed to a very famous singer/actress.

"The really frightening thing about middle age is that you know you'll grow out of it!"

Who said it?

Thank you, Karol.

Here is my question:

He was a scholar of Civil & Mining Engineering, who,
along with the help of his wife,
made in 1912 the first translation into English
of the 1556 Latin Edition of "De Re Metallica"
by Georgius Agricola (= latinized name of Georg Bauer c.1490-1555).
He was also a Statesman and the President of the United States of America.
What is his name?

Well, Herbert Hoover spent some time of his younger life as a mining engineer in Western Australia, so I'll go with him.

Well, galvo,
that is absolutely correct.
And the "De Re Metallica" he translated
has for nearly a century been
a standard book of reference.

"Texas, Our Texas," the official state song of Texas, was adopted by the Legislature in 1929 after being selected in a state-wide competition.
