Excerpt from Reminiscences and Notices of Ten Parishes of the County of Haddington P. Ronaldson, Esq., c.a., Edinburgh (mr Martine's executor), kindly placed the ms. In my hands. After examining it I found that it required some revision. Had he lived Mr Martine would undoubtedly have gone over the ms. Another time before sending it to the press. The work of revision was very kindly undertaken by Mr E. J. Wilson, Schoolhouse, Bolton, who is well-known as an antiquarian, and has now shown himself to have been eminently fitted for this task. The accounts of the parishes written by Mr Martine have very wisely been allowed to appear in his own inimitable style - quaint, almost obsolete, expressions being retained, which give a finer zest, and, to the modern reader, an original flavour reminiscent of the winter fireside of the homely farm-houses of East Lothian, while at the same time they instruct and delight. The revision has been limited to some corrections in fact, and additions which seemed to be interesting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
