Alexander Duff at 30
NOTE
IN the preparation of this work the author, about three months before his
death, condensed and thoroughly revised the large amount of material he
had originally had available. His intention was not to enter in any way
into competition with the elaborate biographies of Dr Duff belonging to an
earlier period, but to supply a crisp and vivid life-sketch having a wide
general appeal. For this task he was specially equipped owing to the
frequent intercourse he had enjoyed with his grandfather both at home and
when travelling, and also because of his own life-long deep interest in
and knowledge of Mission enterprise.
Of help received in completing the work since the death of Mr Duff Watson
grateful acknowledgment is hereby made to Mr Alexander MacKilligan,
Aberdeen.
