Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Letters of James David Forbes This biography is the work of three writers, each working separately and, in a great measure, inde pendently of. The other two. This subdivision of labour has, I am aware, serious drawbacks, and would not have been resorted to, had any one person been found who could have undertaken adequately to describe the various aspects of Forbes' life and work. But, in default of a writer who could do this, it was thought better to portion out the work to three writers, than to have it inadequately done by one. No doubt the book has -ih this way lost something in symmetry, but it is hoped that it may have gained more in thoroughness and completeness.
