The circumstances,an outline of which is given in these pages,happened a very short time ago to a native of North Britain,who left his own country early in life,in consequence of political animosities and an ill-advised connection in marriage.It was some years after that he formed the fatal attachment which is the subject of the following narrative.The whole was transcribed very carefully with his own hand,a little before he set out for the Continent in hopes of benefiting by a change of scene,but he died soon after in the Netherlands--it is supposed,of disappointment preying on a sickly frame and morbid state of mind.It was his wish that what bad been his strongest feeling while living,should be preserved in this shape when he was no more.--It has been suggested to the friend,into whose hands the manu was entrusted,that many things (particularly in the Conversations in the First Part)either childish or redundant,might have been omitted;but a promise was given that not a word should be altered,and the pledge was held sacred.The names and circumstances are so far disguised,it is presumed,as to prevent any consequences resulting from the publication,farther than the amusement or sympathy of the reader.
