Acknowledgements

The origin of this book was a doctoral thesis undertaken at the University of St. Andrews. My acknowledgments then are still applicable today, but I would like to thank those whose help contributed specifically to the completion of this project.

First on the list is Dr. Roger Mason. As a scholar, he continues to be the font of all knowledge (or so he tells me) and a source of inspiration. The time he has invested in me and this book went far beyond the call of duty for an ex-supervisor and for that I will always be indebted to him. His advice, support and criticism, all of which he gave in abundance, were greatly appreciated and any faults in this book are more than likely because I chose not to listen to him.

The same also applies to Dr. Jane Dawson at the University of Edinburgh. She, too, exceeded her duties as an external examiner. Her patience and understanding were endless, especially during our many phone conversations in which she encouraged me to look at things a little differently and to think through my ideas a little more carefully. Her comments, together with those of Professor John Guy, helped me immeasurably and I can only thank them again for their continued interest and support.

I would also like to thank Thomas Brochard for his French translations, and for the friendship of Jenny Roth, Janet Deatheridge and Pam Cranston, who were always there to keep me full of spirit in more ways than one. But special mention must go to Dr Roland Tanner. He has been a mainstay of support and encouragement over the years, and his very presence helped ease the pain of writing both a thesis and a book. I can only apologise for the number of times his share of the pain seemed greater than mine. Although I hold him in the highest regard as a historian, it is as a friend that I offer him my deepest and sincerest affections.

Finally, acknowledgement must go to my aunt and uncles, Elizabeth and Graeme Ritchie, Robert Mitchell and Ronald Mitchell, who sadly passed away before this book was completed. I can only thank them again for their hospitality and generosity. But it is to my family in Canada that I owe my greatest debt of gratitude. Without the financial and emotional support of my parents, Robert and Doreen, and my sisters, Fiona and Alison, none of this would have been possible. Although words cannot begin to express how truly thankful I am for all they have done, I hope a simple dedication will go some way in conveying my love and affection.
