Excerpt from Donald M'leods Gloomy Memories in the Highlands of Scotland: Versus Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's Sunny Memories in (England), A Foreign Land, or a Faithful Picture of the Extirpation of the Celtic Race From the Highlands of Scotland

Despite the fact that three editions were published, the work was within recent years all but impossible to procure. The idea of publishing the present edition, which is a reprint of that published in Canada, is due to Mr. John Campbell, a patriotic Mull man resident in Greenock, who, impressed with the educative value of the Gloomy Memories, set about collecting subscriptions with the view of having an edition published at a pfice that would place the work within the reach of all. To his efforts therefore, conjoined with the patriotism of a number of Celts and others interested in the Highlands, the public are indebted for the present re-issue of the Gloomy Memories.
