Excerpt from The Edinburgh Periodical Press, Vol. 1: Being a Bibliographical Account of the Newspapers, Journals, and Magazines Issued in Edinburgh From the Earliest Times to 1800

Part of what these volumes contain has already appeared in Scottish Notes and Queries, and I desire to express my gratitude to the Editor, Mr. John Bulloch, for his ready permission to make what further use I liked of the material.

I can hardly expect that this - the first attempt to give a detailed account of the early Edinburgh newspaper press, indeed, the early newspaper press of Scotland - can be free from the errors, deficiencies, and omissions of pioneer work. It would be strange if many mistakes had not crept into the mass of facts that has been collected, and it would be equally strange if important sources of information had not been overlooked. I am also fully aware of the inadequacy of the introductory sections; but they are offered as a contribution to the elucidation of a subject which one day should have its history fully written.
