Eleven out of the twelve papers included in this volume are published for the first time. The twelfth is that on William Falconer, which appeared in The Scotsman of January 17th, 1925, and is reprinted here by kind permission of the
Editor. The subjects are all Scotsmen and the caption of No. V has been chosen as the title of the volume for no other reason than that it indicates the Scottish nature of the contents. Apart from that, it may be said paradoxically that the only feature the subjects have in common is their difference from each other. It is hoped that the variety thereby assured will enhance the appeal.
The author has not, in any instance, aimed at an exhaustive presentation of his theme: that would demand a volume larger than this for every separate character. He has sought, instead, to state an impression, and to accompany it with as much of an outline of fact as would serve to justify and illustrate it.
The papers are arranged in the chronological order of the personalities they deal with.
