A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present Life of Dunbar is an attempt to place before the reader in a popular form the facts in the life of one of Scotland sgreatest sons, who has by no means received the attention either his genius or his achievements merited. Being a popular sketch, therefore, in a popular series, I have purposely avoided, as far as possible, the discussion of recondite controversial topics, and the introduction of dry disquisitions on obscure points of diction or on matters which possess an interest merely antiquarian. I have also slightly modernised the archaic spelling of the extracts I have had occasion to quote, so that the general reader might be able to follow without difficulty the sense of the text. Besides Sheriff Mackay, to whom I have confessed my obligations elsewhere, I must return thanks to my friend Dr. A. B. Grosart, whose pricelessly valuable volumes on sixteenth and seventeenth century literature have been of immense service; also to Mr. W. Keith Leask, M.A., for kindly revising the proofs, and for the suggestion of many valuable emendations. OLIPHANT SMEATON. Edinburgh, A pril 1898.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
