ICJOg. preface. IV /TORE than eighty years having elapsed since the publication by Nicholas Carlisle of his Collections for a History of the Ancient Family of Carlisle, it has been thought that the present is a fitting time for the appearance of another history to carry on, so far as possible, the records of the Family, but on somewhat different lines. The number of members has now, however, become so great as to render it impossible to include in one small volume all the various branches. It has therefore been decided to limit the present work to the Paisley or (as is believed) the main stem. The early part of the subject is dealt with in an Introductory Chapter, and the later history is set out in the form of Biographical Notices alphabetically arranged, the whole being explained by a Table of Pedigree, and illustrated, so far as possible, by portraits. The project has been received with the warmest approval by members of the Family in all parts of the world, thus showing that, though distance may divide, the Clan is united now as in the past. What more eloquent testimony could there be to the need for this history ? Mr. J. W. Carlile (p. 44), who may be regarded as the father of the scheme, has given his advice in all matters of difficulty, and has approved the Introductory Chapter and Biographical Notices. Mrs. Thomas (p. 114) has drawn up the Table of Pedigree. Mrs. Templeton -Wilson (p. 1 13) has collected and arranged the photographs and undertaken the correspondence. Mr. R. Burnet Morris (p. 100) has written the Introductory Chapter, prepared the Biographical Notices and compiled the Index. Colonel T. Sturmy Cave (p. 79) has carried out all the arrangements with printers and makers of process blocks for the illustrations. Lastly, members of the Family in large numbers have lent photographs and revised Biographical Notices. Contents. PAGE Preface ----.....
