Excerpt from Leith and Its Antiquities From the Earliest Times to the Close of the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 1: With Numerous Illustrations, Biographical Sketches and Portraits of the Members of Parliament, Provosts, Distinguished Ministers, &C. &C; Also, an Appendix of Charters, Deeds, and Documents, Relating to the Burgh The biographical sketches of deceased Members of Parliament for the Leith district of burghs, and the Provosts of the burgh, have in every case been revised by relatives, so that they may be relied upon as authentic. Acknowledgment has to be made to the relatives of the various subjects of biography for per mission to use the portraits, and, in most cases, for copies thereof, which have been sent. Had the writer contemplated the immense amount of labour involved in the consulting of authorities and the compilation of the two volumes now issued, the work would probably never have been undertaken but, from the encouragement which the publishers received from the subscribers, he felt that, having once begun the work, he was obliged to finish it, however far he may have fallen short of the ideal record he intended to make the work. His obligations to the many friends who have sent documents, books, pictures, and other interesting historical relies, are too great and numerous to mention individually, but they are here cordially acknowledged. He cannot omit, however, to acknowledge the kindness of N r. W. Moir Bryce, F for many kind services, and his friend and former schoolfellow Mr. Thomas Ross, President of the Scottish Architectural Association, for many illustrations drawn by him of specimens of ancient architecture in Leith.
