Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the Scottish Highlands and Isles A short history should have a brief Preface, and a few words will suffice to explain the purpose and scope of the present work. No complete history of the Highlands, issued at a popular price and in a compact form, has yet been published. It is believed that a book of that description will serve a purpose which the existing histories do not claim to fulfil, and will appeal to a considerable body of readers whom the larger and more expensive works on the subject fail to reach. In that belief, and with that object, the present volume has been written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
