Excerpt from Report of the Proceedings of the Forty-Fifth Annual Congress of the British Arch?ological Association: Held at Glasgow, 27th August to 4th September, 1888
Shortly after the very successful visit of the British Arch?ological Association to Glasgow in the autumn of 1888, it occurred to a few of those who had taken an active interest in the work of the Congress, that if the reports of the meetings and excursions which had appeared from day to day in the columns of the Glasgow Herald were reprinted, the volume would form not only a pleasant memento of the Congress, but a useful guide to most of the interesting antiquities in the neighbourhood of Glasgow. The proposal, on being brought under the notice of the Council of the Glasgow Arch?ological Society, met with the cordial approval of the members; and on an application being made to the proprietors of the Herald for permission to reprint the reports, the requisite authority was very readily and courteously granted.
Various circumstances have rendered it impossible to issue the volume till now, and the editors very much regret this unavoidable delay.
The publication does not make any pretensions to scientific arch?ological accuracy. It is a collection of newspaper reports, and the papers which appear in it have not been revised by their authors. Readers will therefore make allowance for the errors which may have crept into many of the pages, though, as far as possible, these have been corrected.
