Excerpt from Some Old Scots Judges: Anecdotes and Impressions As will be apparent to every student of the period covered by these sketches, I have not gone to any recondite sources for my materials. My debt to such works as Cockburn's Memorials of his Time, Ramsay's Scotland and Scotsmen, Kay's Edinburgh Portraits, and the writings of the late Rev. Henry Grey Graham (one of the most brilliant representatives of the school of literary historians) is quite obvious. But while relying largely on these works, and others acknowledged in the footnotes, I have endeavoured to give my own impressions of the judges who form the subject matter of this book. In sketching their personal characteristics, I have sought not only to bring them into relation with the social, literary, and political life of their own time, but to make clear the ethical gulf which separates their day from ours.
