Nesbitts around the world, whichever of the 44 known ways of spelling the name they may use, will welcome this reprint of their book. The first edition appeared in 1941, in the depths of the war, and was restricted to only 250 copies. It is a tribute to the work that the original publisher, John Murray, was prepared to devote strictly rationed paper to such a specialised book at such a time. The book provides a valuable record of a family that settled in Berwick well over eight centuries ago; of its branches, north and south of the Tweed, and in Canada and the USA.
