Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Drummond of Hawthornden: The Story of His Life and Writings
Of the more miscellaneous materials employed in the Narrative a sufficient idea will be obtained from the text or from the occasional foot-notes. One further acknowledgment, however, is expressly due in this Preface and it is still to Mr. David Laing. To him, easily the prince of living authorities 111 all matters of Scottish Literary History and Biography, I owe my best thanks, not only for the use made of his published Drummond researches, but also for help and advice given to myself during the passage of this Volume through the press. They were given with all the precision of his full knowledge.
