Epitaphs and Inscriptions from Burial Grounds and Old Buildings in the North-East of Scotland: With Historical, Biographical, Genealogical, and Antiquarian Notes (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Epitaphs and Inscriptions From Burial Grounds and Old Buildings in the North-East of Scotland: With Historical, Biographical, Genealogical, and Antiquarian Notes
The limited impression (2 50 copies) arises from the fact that this por tion of the work was originally intended for private distribution only. But owing to circumstances which have happened since the Author began to print the papers which formed the nucleus Of the volume, he has yielded to the wishes of personal and literary friends in offering it to the public. Had this been intended at first, not only would the number of copies have been doubled, but the arrangement of the book would have been different, and various other particulars would have received greater attention.
