viii, 434 pages, size 7.25 inches tall by 4.25 inches. Illustrated frontispiece. PREFACE ; ' It is perhaps unnecessary to state, that the present volume, consisting of a series of antiquarian and general notices, illustrative of the history of Glasgow, lays claim to no literary merit beyond that of garnering up, in a somewhat novel form, those scattered fragments of knowledge, which, according to Milton, the world does not willingly suffer to perish. The antiquities and traditions of Glasgow, in different points of view, are objects of interest to the Scottish reader. Dating its foundation from a very early period, and bearing a hand in all the most remarkable events connected with civil and ecclesiastical history,-whether in the assertion of the truth and dominion of Popery, or contributing by might and main to its downfal-whether in the, at one time, zealous support of Episcopacy, at another, the waging against it, under the banner of Presbyterianism, the most relentless war,-Glasgow possesses much interest, to which few other towns can lay claim. Always one of the principal cities in Scotland, its rise and progress have been marked by those occurrences which usually characterise places of importance. From perusal, it is trusted, the reader will be able to glean information conducive both to his amusement and instruction. In the Chapter embracing Lives of " Eminent Natives of Glasgow," he will probably be, for the first time, made acquainted with those "sparks of immortality," who, reared amid the same scenes with himself, have more than general claims upon his attention .'
