If it is enquired, why print the following narratives? our answer is simple: the printing may gratify many of the name of Forbes and of those connected with that ancient family. The antiquity of the original essays will at least supply the place of what interest may be lost by the extinction of branches of the main stem; and it is most truly remarked, that none despise family pretensions but those who have no title whatever to family. These circumstances will give our little pamphlet some credit in as large a circle as the number of copies printed will perhaps extend its wings.
