Excerpt from A Bibliography of Works Relating to Dunfermline, Vol. 5: And the West of Fife, Including Publications of Writers Connected With the District
The present attempt at a Local Bibliography is the outcome of twelve years' collection and study of the subjects which lie within its scope. The Rev. David Imrie, of Free (now United Free) St. Andrew's Church, Dunfermline, has given much attention to a similar project for a period of twice this duration, - from the time, indeed, that he came to Dunfermline in I876, - with the natural result that he has brought together a very fine local library (now placed in the Dunfermline Archaeological Museum), including many items which it would be practically impossible to duplicate. The compiler of this list wishes prominently to acknowledge his indebtedness to Mr. Imrie for the free communication of much acquired knowledge, and also for the assistance given by sympathy in pursuit, often shown in a very practical form.
This list is in reality merely a catalogue, and as such (like a dictionary) will furnish proverbially dry reading. Foot-notes have been freely added, containing the outlines of such information as could be gathered from authentic sources, in regard to the authors named, - particularly so in the case of those who are no longer with us.
