Excerpt from The Black Book of Taymouth: With Other Papers From the Breadalbane Charter Room The materials Of the present volume, all taken from the charter-room at Taymouth, have been selected more with the view of illustrating the antiquities Of the Central Highlands, and the modes of life and thought of their inhabitants in the Old time, than for any purpose of public national history, or for the genealogy and antiquities Of the family of Breadalbane. But that family having so long borne sway in the district, their personal affairs are to some extent mixed up with all local history; and a general acquaintance with the early descents Of the house of Glenurchy is necessary for the full understanding of the materials now brought together. It is here supplied by the first article of our collection. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
