Description:... Excerpt from The Life of William Hutton, and the History of the Hutton Family: Edited From the Original Manuscripts, With the Addition of Numerous Illustrative Notes, Original Matter, Examples of Hutton's Poetical Productions, and Notices of All His Works, Etc. Etc I have carefully collated the whole, word by word; have restored it to its original state, and have added all the matter which has not before appeared.
The edifice erected at so much pains and trouble by William Hutton, had, it will have been seen, like many a fine building of stone, been altered by different hands in the vain hope of improvement. My work has been that. Of the restorer, and I have confidence in saying that I have now brought it back to its pristine beauty and excellence, and present it to the world in the state m which Hutton intended it to appear - as he him self would have wished to see it.
But not only this. I have added throughout, almost page by page, a number of notes illustrative of the text, which cannot fail to render the work far more useful and acceptable to the reader. In the genealogical part I have added a vast amount of new information from various sources.
To the whole I have appended a resume' of the contents and aim of the whole of Hutton's published works; from which also I have given copious extracts.
