Books, Manuscripts
"This "History of Robert Gordon's Hospital is, in large measure an outcome of "Auld Lads" of the Hospital formed in 1888. I have had the honour of holding the post of President of this Association since its formation, and the obligation consequent thereon of delivering an address at the annual meetings impelled me to find material on the history of the hospital. This book is an expansion of several of these addresses, and , particularly of two papers read to the Aberdeen Philosophical Society, 7th March, 1893, and 29th January, 1895."
