Excerpt from An Historical and Genealogical Essay Upon the Family and Surname of Buchanan: To Which Is Added a Brief Inquiry Into the Genealogy and Present State of Ancient Scottish Surnames, and More Particularly of the Highland Clans The family of Bcamx has had the honor to produce a great many persons, who make a very considerable figure in our history; and as it is natural for us to be curious about the smallest circumstances-relating to great men, those of that temper will here find what in a great measure may serve to. Gratify their curiosity. Besides, this family is now grown so very numerous, that it can not but be of very great use to those of the name, or that are any way allied to it, to have a full and distinct account of its affairs. So that though perhaps this treatise may not be of such general use, yet it will at least serve them for whom I principally intended it, to wit, those of the name and family of Buchanan.
