The biographical dictionary of eminent Scotsmen, as its title imports, is intended to supply a complete series of lives noteworthy natives of Scotland, arranged in alphabetical order. It aims at forming a comprehensive record of the achievements of those, in every walk of life, whose memories are cherished by their countrymen, and whose deeds form the history of their country; of those who, by their energy, wisdom, or bravery, their patience, industry, learning, or writings, have been influential in preserving its freedom or maintaining the rights of its people; who have been the leaders in the progress of national civilization; and whose exertions have raised their country to that proud eminence which it now occupies among the nations of Europe.
