Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Parish of Cambusnethan
Immediately on' the delivery of these lectures, on the 4th and 11th 'of February last, a very general desire for their publication was expressed. The pressure from without having been so urgent, the author assented to their being sent to the press. In doing so, he saw it to be proper not only to enlarge on some topics partially touched on in the lectures when delivered, but to introduce a considerable amount of information, on a variety of matters, which were not so. Much as alluded to. He is persuaded that in having done so, the volume has been rendered all the more accept able, to those who feel an interest in the topics discussed in it. These prefatory statements will serve not only to explain the occasion of publishing this volume, but account for the style of the lecture room, which the author in several passages has thought fit to retain.
