Excerpt from The Agnews of Lochnaw: A History of the Hereditary Sheriffs of Galloway; With Contemporary Anecdotes, Traditions, and Genealogical Notices of Old Families of the Sheriffdom, 1330 to 1747 On the title-page, consequently, the style has been adopted by which these old Sheriffs were known to their contemporaries, and which, even now, runs the smoothest in native ears.
