Ossian Collection > Life and letters of James Macpherson

viii PREFACE.
I have been fortunate in obtaining some
information from unpublished sources in the
British Museum and elsewhere. My best thanks
are due to the Marquess of Abergavenny for
kindly permitting me to make use of a series of
Macpherson's letters preserved in the library at
Eridge ; and to Mr. Brewster Macpherson of
Belleville for the reproduction of Romney's
portrait of his ancestor. I am also grateful for
assistance rendered by friends, notably by Miss
Mary Grant (of Kilgraston) and by Mr. John
Cameron Grant (of Glenmoriston).
