Synopsis
Excerpt from James Stirling: A Sketch of His Life and Works, Along With His Scientific Correspondence
A few notes on the letters have been added, but, in the main, the letters have been left to speak for themselves.
I am deeply grateful for the readiness with which the Garden letters were placed at my disposal by Mrs. Stirling, Gogar House, Stirling. I am also indebted to the University of Aberdeen for permission to obtain copies of Stirling's letters to Maclaurin.
In the troublesome process of preparing suitable manuscript for the press, I had much valuable clerical assistance from my sister, Miss Jessie Tweedie.
