Excerpt from The Hereditary Sheriffs of Galloway, Vol. 1: Their "Forebears" And Friends, Their Courts and Customs of Their Times, With Notes of the Early History, Ecclesiastical Legends, the Baronage and Place-Names of the Province When my Father died a few months ago, this second and enlarged edition of the Sheriffs of Galloway was practically finished. The whole of the Ms. was in the hands of the printer, and some of the early proofs had already been returned for correction. Under the circumstances, his family were anxious that a work in which he had taken such a deep interest, and to which he had devoted so much labour, should, if possible, be brought to completion. The warm encouragement and advice of Mr. David Douglas has made this an easy task. As it was mainly a question of revising the proof-sheets, and as I had written out the whole of the Ms. at my Father's dictation, it was thought that the work had better be done by me. I have done my best to keep the book free from slips, whether in the printing or in the sense; and with the valuable help of Mr. George Stronach, one of the assistant librarians in the Advocates' Library, who kindly undertook to verify the quotations from old records, whether French or Latin, I trust all preventable mistakes have been avoided. It can scarcely be hoped that in a work of this kind, especially in one which deals so largely with the etymology of local names, some errors should not have crept in, which only the special knowledge of the Author could have detected.
