Excerpt from Angus, or Forfarshire, Vol. 4: The Land and People, Descriptive and Historical
The Work was originally intended to have been completed in three volumes, but, for the reasons mentioned in the Preface to the third volume, that could not be accomplished, and, with a few exceptions, his Subscribers kindly agreed to take a fourth, or probably a fifth volume. As the Author proceeded with the fourth volume he found that he must either condense the work materially, or add a fifth, though smaller volume. After consideration he thought it better to complete the work in the same style as in the first three volumes, and to add the fifth, which is somewhat larger than half of the full-sized volumes. The fourth and fifth volumes will be issued together.
In the compilation of Angus or Forfarshire he has studied to introduce as much variety in the matter as was consistent with the design and s00pe of the work. In order to have it as complete and as correct as possible, he has consulted well on to one hundred authorities, and he made personal applica tion for information to every person whom he thought able, and likely to be willing, to supply him with correct details on the special subjects he had then in hands, and with the view of having the information received from one source corroborated, if possible, by others. Notwithstanding all the care he has taken to have the work free from errors, he fears it is in many respects imperfect, and he begs his Subscribers kindly to overlook faults, both of commission and omission.
