Excerpt from Angus or Forfarshire, Vol. 1: The Land and People
Forfarshire is situated somewhat out of the main line of the pleasure tourist, and those who pass through it generally do so at railway speed. Its wealth of scenery, of every variety, is thus all but unseen, and its many important and interesting features are little known.
Several highly valuable works, historical and descriptive, have been written, dealing with sections of our rich and beautiful shire, but hitherto no general description of Angus, and no consecutive historical account of the land and the people, has ever been published. Attempting to supply in some measure this generally felt want, I have now the pleasure of issuing to my friends and subscribers Volume I. Of angus on forfarshire, a work which has for many years engaged my attention.

I had hoped to have this volume in their hands at the end of last year, but as the work progressed the matter increased; and being desirous to render it as full and as correct as possible, publication has been retarded. Volume II. will, I trust, he ready for distribution early in 1881; and Volume III., to conclude the work, also in the course of that year.
