Description
Excerpt from Lands and Lairds of Larbert and Dunipace Parishes
Mr. Sherriff has been most assiduous in his endeavours to collect local information and traditions. He has also read the proofs, and has taken special trouble in connexion with the article on the Carron Company. It is right to mention here that he has also generously taken the risk of the publication on himself; indeed, but for him, the work would never have been attempted.
I take this opportunity of recording my. Best ''thanks to Miss Sherriff for her beautiful and artistic sketches, which have been so admirably reproduced by Messrs. T. And R. Arman and Sons of Glasgow.
I also wish to express my thanks to all who have in any way helped me in my work. I feel specially indebted to Dr. Maitland Thomson, the late Curator, and the Rev. John Anderson, the present Curator of the Historical Department of the Register House; Sir James B. Paul, Lyon King of Arms, and Mr. Francis J. Grant, Lyon Clerk; Mr. David Morris, Town Clerk of Stirling, for his courtesy in showing me the Stirling Records my friend, Mr. J. B. Douglas, and my brother, Mr. J. A. Gibson, for their kind help in reading the proofs; to the printers of the book, Messrs. Cook and Wylie of Stirling, for the pains they have taken to carry out my wishes; and to Mr. W. B. Cook personally, for help and information of various kinds.
