Excerpt from The Collected Works of Dugald Stewart, Esq., F. R. Ss, Vol. 10
The Editorship of the Collected Works of Professor Dugald Stewart, which was appropriately committed by the Trustees of Miss Stewart to Sir William Hamilton, involved the preparation of a Memoir of the Author. The illustrious Editor had proceeded so far as to complete the publication of Nine Volumes of the works, and revise for the press the Memoirs of Smith, Robertson, and Reid, which appear in the present or Tenth Volume. Failing health, especially during the last year of his life, interrupted the preparation of the Memoir of Mr. Stewart, which was designed to form part of this volume. This cause had even led him to depart from the purpose of an original connected narrative of Mr. Stewart's life, as is manifest from the following Proposal made to Mr. Constable, of date 3d April 1856: - "I intend to incorporate in this Tenth Volume the following: -
"1. The Memoir of his father by Col. Matthew Stewart; with Notes and Additions by me.
"2. An Extract about Mr. Stewart and his Philosophy, from his friend Mackintosh's Preliminary Dissertation; to which will also be added Notes by me.
