Excerpt from The Scottish Branch of the Norman House of Roger: With a Genealogical Sketch of the Family of Playfair The research of a quarter of a century connected with the history of one family, and of a portion of another, is represented in these pages. That research has been more genealogical than biographical, - necessarily so, for to the majority of those commemorated apply the poet's lines, - "Along the cool sequester'd vale of life, They kept the noiseless tenor of their way." Even of the more conspicuous members, memoirs have not been attempted; these may be found in the ordinary channels. To family traditions no heed has been paid. The narrative is a severe relation of authenticated facts. All well-informed persons acknowledge the influence of race. The civilization of Western Europe was effected by the Celts, Saxons, and Normans - successively the pioneers, planters, and polishers of cultivated life. The great Houses of the United Kingdom claim Norman descent. Those families which constitute the better portion of the middle class trace to a Scandinavian ancestry. The Saxon and Norman races as surely reach the upper strata of society, as does cream top the milk-pail or oil rise upon water. The Family of Roger, which forms the main subject of these pages, is one of the very few Scottish Houses which have acquired a surname from a conversion of the personal name of its founder into that use.
