"Western Worthies" by J. Stephen Jeans is a collection of biographical and critical sketches written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on notable figures from the West of Scotland, exploring their lives, achievements, and contributions to society. The author aims to inspire readers by showcasing the struggles and successes of these individuals. At the start of the collection, the author outlines a double purpose: to satisfy public curiosity about the backgrounds of influential men and to serve as a reminder to the younger generation that they, too, can make a lasting impact. The introductory section emphasizes the rich tapestry of Scottish history and the significance of its notable clans. Following this, the first sketch is dedicated to the Duke of Argyll, highlighting his noble lineage and illustrious accomplishments in politics and literature. This sets the tone for the rest of the collection, which promises insightful reflections on other distinguished Scottish figures.
