An Introduction To The History Of Dumfries PDF Download

Excerpt from An Introduction to the History of Dumfries, Vol. 1 In the production of the volume, there has been some divergence from the proposals embodied in the prospectus. Subscribers were there offered a volume of about 250 pages on Drury Rag Paper. The bulk of the volume has been materially increased, and includes numerous pedigree charts, which were not contemplated originally, and which have greatly added to the cost. The expense of Drury Rag paper was thus not justified, and a cheaper paper of good quality has had to be substituted. Likewise, the size of the volume has been cut down from a foolscap quarto, in order that it may conform to the new series of the D. 8: G. N. H. And A. Society's Transactions.
