Excerpt from The Runic Roods of Ruthwell and Bewcastle: With a Short History of the Cross and Crucifix in Scotland
Veneration for the Runic Roods and a grateful interest in my native shire of Dumfries have impelled me to write this history of the stately Cross of Ruthwell, now re-erected within the Parish Church of Ruthwell, in the county of Dumfries, and to conjoin with it an account of the twin pillar which adorns the parish churchyard of Bewcastle, in Cumberland.
The superb photographs of these two remarkable monuments which embellish this volume are the artistic work and the gift of Mr J. C. Montgomerie of Dalmore. To him, not the present writer only, but every subsequent student in this subject, will be under the deepest obligations for his infinite trouble in procuring such masterpieces. I wish to thank Mr Rutherford of Jardington for the use of an early photograph of Ruthwell Cross while it stood in the open air; Sir David Prain, Kew, for assistance in endeavouring to name the flowers carved upon both monuments; G. N. Count Plunkett, F. S. A., Vice-President of the Royal Academy, Dublin; Rev. George Yorke, formerly Rector of Bewcastle; and the Rev. J. L. Dinwiddie, M.A., Parish Minister of Ruthwell, for many facilities granted for personal examination of the crosses under their charge; the Dean and Chapter of Durham for the use of illustrations of relics in the Cathedral Library; Messrs W. & R. Chambers, Ltd., for permission to reproduce from Chambers's Encyelopœdia Canon Taylor's table of runes on Bewcastle Cross; Mr H. D. Hood, Melrose, and Mr John Gibson. Hexham, for the use of photographs; Mr John Taylor, Dublin, Mr J. W. Dods, Dumfries, the Misses Montgomerie, Dalmore, and Mrs Dinwiddie, Ruthwell, for kind help frequently given in these studies.
