From the preface: "This book, which embodies a great deal of unpublished material, chronicles the remarkable career of a wandering Scot of the Seventeenth century, George Strachan, a native of the Mearns, probably a member of the Thornton family, who travelled much in the Near and Middle East, became one of the greatest Oriental scholars of his time, and acquired a unique collection of Arabic and Persian manuscripts.".
