Author Description

Excerpt from Lives of the Lindsays, or a Memoir of the Houses of Crawford and Balcarres, Vol. 1: To Which Are Added, Extracts From the Official Correspondence of Alex. Sixth Earl of Balcarres, During the Maroon War; Together With Personal Narratives by His Brothers, the Hon. Robert, Colin, James, John, and Hugh Lindsay Few, however, are the families whose annals the world would judge worthy of such investigation, and it is not therefore to the Public that I think Family History - to use the expression in its most dignified sense - should, in general, be addressed; it is not, I repeat, for public but private use, that I have compiled these Lives of the Lindsays.
