From the introduction:
"The present Genealogical History, which is now printed for the first tine, was compiled in the year 1681, and has always been esteemed a work of authority. The Author enjoyed the best advantages for the prosecution of his labors, not only in obtaining the use of the several accounts drawn up by previous writers, but in having free access to original papers, and to every other source of information regarding the collateral branches of a Family to which he himself was nearly related, fllld finally became so distinguished an ornament.
"The honorable WILLIAM DRUMMOND, youngest son of John Second Lord Maderty, was raised to the dignity of the Peerage, on the 6th of September 1686, by the title of Viscount of Strathallan. At the time of his decease, which happened in January, 1688, he held the appointment of General of the Forces in Scotland."
