Excerpt from Biographia Scotica: Or Scottish Biographical Dictionary, Containing a Short Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons and Remarkable Characters, Natives of Scotland, From the Earliest Ages to the Present Time The circumstances which gave rise to, and the circumscribed plan which was allotted for the execution of the present Volume, have prevented its being made so complete as could be wished, or as it might otherwise have been. But, though the sketches are short, they will generally be found just, in each, though the nicer shades may not be completely filled up, yet the outline of character will be found distinctly marked. And, should a future edition be encouraged, on a more extended scale, it is hoped, that the "Biographia Scotica" may become not altogether unworthy of the patronage of the British Public.
