'This is not a history of Blantyre, but a collection of photographs, cuttings and comments up to 1914. It is a personal selection recording the founding of Blantyre and the setting up of the Township, but the human side of history is illustrated, too. It notes personal achievements, sporting events, health hazards and items of no importance at all, but they all shed light on the everyday life and manners during the period up to the First World War. "Blantyre - Glimpses of the Early Days" shows, I hope, something of the diversity of life in Blantyre - its pleasures and its sorrows.' - author's introduction
