Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sometimes, too, the same story is told of different persons; thus some versions of the anecdote at page 76, represent the late Bayn Whyt, Esq. W.S., as the mischievous person who tormented Sir James Colquhoun, Baronet, when a principal Clerk of Session, by making faces at him; it is not very material whether the Barrister, or the Writer to the Signet, was the offending party, if the fact be true,-;-and that such a scene did actually take place cannot reasonably be doubted for besides the distinct recollection of an old gentlemen on the subject, who died some years since, and from whom the story was first obtained, there are still surviving, various persons who, although not present, have heard the circumstances detailed, and who received them as perfectly genuine, shortly after the time when they are alleged to have taken place. The Editor has been informed that the Competition between the Lakes, was written in imitation of the style in which the late Eobert Craigie, Esq. (afterwards Lord Mr Whyt was Adjutant of the Edinburgh Volunteers when commanded by Lord President Hope, with whom he was a great favourite. He had an excellent business, and was considered a most upright and able agent. In the latter part of his life he became very corpulent, and when on horseback, resembled in size the late Colonel Teasdale. Eobert, son of John Craigie, Esq. of Kilgraston, was admitted a member of the Faculty of Advocates in 1776. After having been several years Sheriff-depute for Dumfriesshire, he was raised to the Bench in 1811. Upon his demise in 1834, he was succeeded by Lord Cockburn.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
