Présentation de l'éditeur
It h Mbeen matter of mveh supiifle that a HiB tory of Perth, worthy of the name, waa not executed long ago. Whether I haTe supplied mdi desideratum must be left to the public to determine. I f, howerer mdottry, reaeareh, and a desire to be impartial, axe coaatitoent parts of the qnalti Seation Bnecessary to do so, then I consider myself so far qualified to draw up an account of the past and present condition of the Fair City A cursory glance at the following work will enable the reader to judge whether it bear the marks abo TcI do not wish the history now offered to Uie world to be regarded, on tiie one hand, as a mere compilation, nor, on the other, as wholly an orinal work. It partakes, I concei Te, of both characters; end to be osaidid, I confess to have freely used the labours of others, in so fiur as diey bear upon the History of Perth; whilst, at the same time, I have spared no pains to search out, in multifarious books, records, and atehives, for such additional matter as might give to it the impress of originality. In this latter walk I flatter myself to haye been somewhat successful. It requires to be stated, also that for the opinions expressed on contro Tcrted historical questions, I am altogether responsible. I adyocate no partizan yiews no attempt is made to represent political or religious parties in any other light than that truth imperatively demands. I di SiB rindeed on some points from my predecessors; yet, I hope not without sufficient reasons being shown for so doing.
