INVERNESS: A. & W. MACKENZIE, PRE'FACE. Tms Nistmy of Nztnvos is the seventh of a series of histories of the Highland Clans compiled and written by my late father, Alexander Mackenzie. He died. on the mnd of January, 1898, while this volume was passing through the press, and on his death-bed he care- fully re-read the unprinted MSS., linowhgsthat he would not live long enough to revise his work in proof form. Although after his death every care was taken to prevent mistakes and misprints in the latter portion of the book it is possible that imperfections have crept in, but I know that in the peculiar circumstances these will be excused. It was, I know, the Author's intention, had he lived to write this pieface, to make hearty acknowledgment to the memory of the late Mr Alexander Ross, Alness, whose collection of genealogical matter relating to the Munros greatly helped and expedited the compilation of this work. It was also his intention to acknowledge the aid derived from a similar collection made by the late General Stedart AIlan. I, therefore, feel it my duty to here make these acknowledgments, although inadequately. It will be found that besides the history of the House of Eowlis and the Genealogies of the principal Munro families, there are added accounts of the Lexington (American) and the New England (American) Munros. For much of the information contained in these latter genealogies my father was deeply indebted to Mr Jarnes Phinny Munro, Lexing- ton, himself a distinguished member of the family, 1 viii HISTORY OF THE MUNROS. believe it was my father's intention to have further traced and enlarged upon these American branches of the family, but his long illness and ultimate death prevented his CONTENTS. doing so. There are many other kind friends to whom, on behalf of my father, I must tender acknowledgments for the assistance they rendered in giving him the use of genea- iii logical information, and, in some cases, valuable family vii papers. ix xi Completing the volume will be found, in unison with the rest of the series, a full and carefully prepared Index, THE MUNROS OF FOWLIS- compiled by myselt ORIGINOF TIIE FAMILY , I.
