Excerpt from Glengarry´s Way, and Other Studies The late Mr. Charles E. Green, whose firm in 1913 published my book, invited me to contribute to the Juridical Review, of which he was then the editor, a series of similar essays. Despite the belief expressed by an optimistic critic of the volume that in it, and in other separate contributions of mine to the literature of the subject, I must have well-nigh exhausted the crop of Scottish crime, I contrived to add to my former harvest a number of fresh sheaves. These in the fullness of time were duly garnered in The Riddle of the Ruthvens and Other Studies, published in 1919, as to which in View of its comparative youth there is no need to say much now. I was told that some apology is due to Robert Fergusson for my exhibition of his engaging figure in such godless company, an association which was justly termed incon gruous. I did so for two reasons: I wished to speak a good word for the lad, and the occasion served to say it; I also believed that his touching story would prove an acceptable antidote to the naughtiness of his companions. For the other subjects of The Riddle I went somewhat further afield than formerly the historical and the criminal elements are better balanced, and I would fain 110pe that the interest is thereby increased. Since then I have con tinued in the pages of the Juridical, with unabated zest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
