Excerpt from Ancient Criminal Trials in Scotland, Vol. 3: Compiled From the Original Records and Mss., With Historical Illustrations Etc.; Part First
Vol. I. P. 224, Jan. 19, l590-i. This is now rendered the more unnecessary, asthe Editor has (since this Notice was in types) been informed by his friend, donald gregory, Esquire, one of the Secretaries to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, that he is now engaged in preparing, for publication, a history OF the isles and adjacent highlands, embracing a minute account of the various rebellions, feuds, and con?icts of the various families, who, after the fall of the Lords Of the Isles, rendered this part of Scotland a scene of almost uninterrupted warfare and bloodshed which MR gregory purposes to compile from Original Documents, the result of a laborious investigation into the Public Records, and other genuine and authentic sources of information. The publication of MR gregory's History of the Isles, 8m. Will save the Editor the necessity of giving many of the Documents which he had prepared for publication, in illustration of various Trials; for they ought rather to form a part of such an historical work, which is a great desideratum, and cannot fail to be favourably received by every lover of Scotish History.
