Unaccompanied with
Engravings, and published in detached volumes; this Work appears under
considerable disadvantages, The second volume containing among other things
the Author's observations on Galloway and Ayrshire, and on the great feats
of manufacturing industry in the shires of Renfrew, Lanark, and Stirling,
will probably be found more interesting than the present. Reviewing his
work, when the charm of novelty and the ardour of composition are over; the
author finds it so very imperfect, in his own estimation, that he dares
hardly hope for the notice of the Public, or the mercy ef the Critic, The
second volume will appear within a few weeks.
Edinburgh, May 23, 1793
Electric Scotland Note:
When these volumes were published it was usual to write the letter S as an F
so you may have some difficulty in reading this but after a few pages you'll
likely make better progress.
