About the author
George Mac Gregor was a Scottish writer and antiquarian active in the late 19th century. From the title pages of his books, he is identified as the author of The History of Glasgow and the editor of The Collected Writings of Dougal Graham; The History of Burke and Hare, and of the Resurrectionist Times was published in 1884.
His work centers on Scottish local history, especially Glasgow and the criminal history of Edinburgh. The surviving record available here suggests a writer interested in archives, old burgh records, and chap literature, and in presenting that material in a way that would appeal to general readers as well as history-minded ones.
