Excerpt from The Roman Wall in Scotland This book is the direct outcome of an invitation addressed to me two years ago by the Trustees of the Lectureship in Archaeology instituted in the University of Glasgow by the late Mr. J.D. G. Dalrymple of Woodhead. Being of opinion that the time was ripe for a fresh survey of the whole body of evidence relating to the subject, they did me the honour of requesting me to undertake the task. The six lectures of which the course consisted were delivered in the spring of 1910. They form the main strand in the thread of the following chapters, and it is accordingly the requirements of the ordinary cultivated reader, rather than those of the specialist, that have determined the plan of the volume and also the method of treatment. I am hopeful, however, that even the specialist will not be sent empty away. At all events, I have endeavoured to be thorough where thoroughness seemed desirable. And the mass of relevant material here brought together is undoubtedly much greater than anything that has up till now been conveniently accessible to students of the Antonine Vallum, while the sifting process has led to deductions which will, I trust, be accepted by competent judges as representing a permanent advance.

Excerpt from On Some Antiquities in the Neighbourhood of Dunecht House Aberdeenshire It was known to the archaeologist that there were ogam inscriptions in the district, two Of them being among the most important in Caledonia; and that within an easy motor drive there was a minuscule inscription of six lines Of which no satisfactory explanation had been given. This inscription they had visited in a previous year. Further, the quick eye Of the hostess of Dunecht had caught sight of some curious sculptures on a stone by the road-side on the way to the minus cule inscription; and other like stones in the neighbourhood had been shewn in Stuart's two volumes of Sculptural Stones of Scotland. The suggestion was then made that for the sake of visitors at Dunecht a sort Of guide book should be prepared, giving some simple description of the several Objects and their meaning and uses.

Excerpt from The Roman Wall: A Description of the Mural Barrier of the North of England The first edition of this book was intended as a popular intro duction to the works of Horsley and Hodgson; the additions which have been made to it during a second and third revision have necessarily changed, in some respects, its character. Still, it is believed that, with the aid of the explanations which are given, persons unacquainted with antiquarian phraseology will encounter no difficulty in its perusal. But for the abundant assistance afforded by some earnest patrons of antiquarian science, this book would have appeared in a very much less complete state than it does. The late Duke of Northumberland not only allowed the author to make a free use of the Survey of the Roman Wall, but gave him woodcut illustrations of all the Roman stones in his museum at Alnwick Castle. In addition to this, his Grace contributed largely towards the prepara tion of a series of illustrations for a work which is intended to embrace all the Roman Monuments of the North of England, and from these the writer has been allowed to select such as suited his present purpose. By the kindness of his Grace the present Duke of Northumberland, the plates of the Survey of the Roman Wall are bound up with the folio copies of this edition.

Excerpt from A History of Scotland From the Roman Occupation, Vol. 2 of 3 The author must apologise for any errors in fact which have escaped his attention, or are due to that subconscious bias from which no historical student can be free. In his opinion the hardships of' the Catholics, after the Reforma tion, have been rather cavalierly treated by many of our historians, and he has therefore dwelt upon a point too much neglected. As Sir Walter Scott observed in a private letter, our sympathies - at the period here treated, and later - are apt always to be with the party which is out of power.
