Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketch of the History of Glasgow A few months since I was invited by the Proprietors of this Work to supply a few pages descriptive of the various views in Glasgow, which form the principal feature of the book. It has become a much more bulky narrative than I originally intended; but still it has no pretensions to be considered other than as a mere "Sketch of the History of Glasgow." Various important and interesting matters connected with the city are only slightly touched on, or perhaps altogether omitted; and simply for this reason - that a history, in extenso, was altogether incompatible with the design of the publishers. Further, my ordinary vocations did not permit me to devote the time, care, and research, necessary to the performance of a work professing to embrace the History of Glasgow, in all its branches. So far as I have skimmed over the subject I have done my best to attain accuracy; and I take this opportunity of tendering my hearty obligations to Joseph Robertson, Esq., Editor of several of the Works published by the Maitland Club, whose knowledge of the ancient history of the city is most extensive, and who, on various points, has granted me his valuable assistance in the most kindly and courteous manner.
