Excerpt from Donald McLeod''s Gloomy Memories in the Highlands of Scotland: Versus Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe''s Sunny Memories in (England) A Foreign Land or a Faithful Picture of the Extirpation of the Celtic Race From the Highlands of Scotland<br><br>Despite the fact that three editions were published the work was within recent years all but impossible to procure. The idea of publishing the present edition which is a reprint of that published in Canada is due to Mr. John Campbell a patriotic Mull man resident in Greenock who impressed with the educative value of the Gloomy Memories set about collecting subscriptions with the view of having an edition published at a pfice that would place the work within the reach of all. To his efforts therefore conjoined with the patriotism of a number of Celts and others interested in the Highlands the public are indebted for the present re-issue of the Gloomy Memories.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
