A Roll of the Graduates of the University of Glasgow From 31st December 1727 to 31st December 1897: With Short Biographical Notes (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Roll of the Graduates of the University of Glasgow From 31st December 1727 to 31st December 1897: With Short Biographical Notes<br><br>To remedy this state of matters the compiler commenced a series of Indices to the various Registers but after proceeding some considerable way it occurred to him that the materials which he had collected were worthy of better utilization and that a General Alphabetical Roll of all the Graduates showing at a glance the several degrees (if more than one) held by each person - would be more serviceable and satisfactory.<br><br>This scheme was duly carried out when a further development suggested itself namely that short biographical notes should where possible be appended. When that had been accomplished in regard to the large majority of the names there still remained some the particulars of whose after life could not be ascertained. In reference to these an attempt was made to discover at least their parentage or birthplace. The Matriculation Entries as throwing light on such points have therefore in many instances been quoted and in others the nationalities as appearing in the Graduation Albums are subjoined.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
