[The correspondence which is here printed was bought by me on the 28th of March 1887 at the sale of the Gibson-Craig collection of Scottish MSS.
Simson's letters, which are beautifully written, seem all to have passed through the post, but Stewart's letters are, I conjecture, merely the drafts of what he proposed to send. The handwriting of the latter, though legible, is not elegant, and there are frequent erasures. I have scrupulously respected, in all the letters, the spelling, the punctuation (or want of it), the use or disuse of capitals, and I have made no attempt to improve the style.
