Description
Excerpt from A Short Account of the Family of Irvine of Drum in the County of Aberdeen
Several appendices with extracts relative to the Drum family are annexed: for the last of these I had not an opportunity of seeing the Spalding Club volumes referred to until most of the book was printed.
I have to thank Mr W. Leiper, architect, Glasgow, for a drawing of the old Castle and Mansion-house, taken from a pencil sketch by Mr Hugh Irvine (date about which, reproduced by photo-zincography, forms a frontispiece.
Asa descendant of this ancient family through my mother, I have found the work of compilation most interesting, and have little doubt that others, members of or relative to it, will derive pleasure from a perusal of these Memorials.
