With an introduction by David Alexander Stewart, who has signed and inscribed the book on the front free endpaper. 'The book promises some record of four families of Cromar, but gives much more', as it also provides a 'reconstruction for us of the little worlds they lived in, their glimmering early lights growing brighter, their crude scratchings of the soil becoming scientific agriculture, their hovels in time changing to houses, the feuds and savagery giving place to ordered life, their schools and schoolmasters, their churches and ministers, their laws and their landlords, their customs and beliefs, even the witches and warlocks of their earlier day.'. Ill.: black-and-white photographs.
