Excerpt from Pieces From the Makculloch and the Gray Mss: Together With the Chepman and Myllar PrintsProfessor Stevenson, to whom was assigned the editing of this volume, died in the course of its preparation. It is fitting that tribute should here be paid to the memory of one so closely identified with the Scottish Text Society, both as a contributor to its publications and as a distinguished worker in Scottish vernacular and Chaucerian literature.Mr Stevenson was the son of the late R. Paisley Stevenson, S.S.C., Town Clerk of Portobello. He entered on a business career, but the natural bent of his mind towards scholarship led him to matriculate in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Edinburgh. Ill-health-rendered it impossible for him to stand the strain of the Honours Examination in English for which he had prepared, and he left the University in April 1905, with a Pass degree.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
