PREFACE
The concluding chapter of the book I intended to servethe purpose of prologue and epilogue, but on reflectionI find that readers both in and out of Scotland maydesire to be told a little more about Robert Wallace,M.A., D.D., and M.P., a collocation of titles of honour,so far as I know, unexampled. He was a minister ofthe Church of Scotland
