About the book >.>.> I MADE the acquaintance of Mr. Leitch in Glasgow more than forty years ago. I did not see him again for a long time but during the last twelve or fourteen years of his life we were on terms of very close in- timacy. Our correspondence was regular and he com- municated to me from time to time many interesting particulars of his early history. After his death I con- tributed to Good Words a short notice of his life. The substance of that paper has been incorporated in the following pages with a large amount of additional in- formation derived from Mr. Leitch’s autobiographical notes memoranda and letters which have been placed at my disposal and from the communications of various friends. To those who have aided me in this work and in particular to the gentlemen who have favoured me with communications I have to return sincere thanks. To Mr. Robert Blackie publisher an old pupil of Mr. Leitch and a friend of his of forty years. (SP)
