Excerpt from Historical Notes: Or Essays on the '15 and '45The Essays, which are printed in this volume, were contributed to the Press during the last few years, and are given in this form because it was represented to me that these papers should be rendered more accessible to historical students. The original documents, upon which the articles on the Lords Reay, the Earldom of Ross, and Lord Seaforth's campaign are founded, are among the MSS. in the British Museum, and Public Record Office.My warmest thanks are due to the officials of these institutions for their unfailing courtesy and kindness. Especially have I to express my deepest obligations to Sir E. Maunde Thompson and F. Bickley, Esq., of the Department of MSS., British Museum, for the readiness with which they invariably tendered assistance and advice, while Mr Salisbury, of H.M. Record Office, always renders valuable aid to students of the MSS. under his care.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
