Taken from the introduction - 'An attempt is made to analyse the origins of the surname Hunter, to show its distribution vis-a-vis Hunt, and to discuss at some length its mainly Scottish founding families. The last four Chapters are given over to a light biographical look at some Hunter individuals who, in various areas of human endeavour, have made an interesting and useful contribution.'
