In the absence of material dealing especially with his last years in Edinburgh a complete Life of Hugh Miller will probably never be attempted. I am informed by his daughter, Mrs. Miller Mackay, F.C. Manse, Lochinver, that the letters and materials sent out to Australia to form the basis of a projected biography by his son-in-law and daughter disappeared, and have never been recovered. The recent deaths of his son and of others who knew Hugh Miller in Cromarty and in Edinburgh still more preclude the appearance of a full and authentic presentation. To the scientist the works of Miller will ever form the best biography; to the general reader and to those who, from various causes, regard biography as made for man and not man for biography some such sketch as the following may, it is believed, not be unacceptable.

Hugh Wynne is a work of accurate historical fiction set in the early years of America during the time of General George Washington. A descendant of a long line of Welsh squires, Hugh Wynne is a Quaker who possesses a firm loyal character. He is the narrator of the story, supplementing it with extracts from the diary of his friend, Jack Warder. When a Tory cousin, Captain Arthur Wynne, insulted his mother, Hugh knocked him down and precipitated a bitter feud. The course of the Revolution is followed with descriptions of the Meschianza Ball given in honor of General William Howe, the siege of Yorktown, Andre's execution, and the Battle of Germantown, during which Hugh is taken prisoner. S. Weir Mitchell (1829-1914) was a prominent 19th Century Philadelphia physician, novelist and poet. Of this colonial history novel Mitchell wrote, "Of course Hugh Wynne is regarded as the book which is likely to have any continuous life." Mitchell was well known during his lifetime as a nerve specialist who advocated a rest cure that incorporated overfeeding and no interruptions from outside the family. Among his most famous patients was the feminist theorist, socialist and suffragist Charlotte Perkins Gilman who wrote The Yellow Wallpaper about a woman driven mad by her husband who followed Mithcell's type of absolute bed rest and isolation from the stimulus of the outside world.The story of the "sometime brevet lieutenant-colonel on the staff of the excellent General Washington." . The memoirs of Hugh Wynne, lieutenant colonel on the staff of General George WashingtonS. Weir Mitchell, whose first writings were papers and popular books on science, wrote poetry, short stories, novelettes, and several other novels. The most popular was Roland Blake (1886), a story of the Civil War. "the tale of an arduous struggle by a new land against a great empire - the story of many sad spiritual struggles, or much heart-searching distress, of brave decisions, and of battle and of camp.

Since Hugh Wynne Was Published in book Form In 1896, It Has Been Many Times Reprinted, And Now That Again There Is Need for A New Edition, I Use A Desired opportunity To Rectify Some Mistakes In names, Dates, And Localities. These Errors Were Of Such A Character As To Pass Unnoticed by The Ordinary Reader And Disturb No One Except The Local Archaeologist Or Those Who Propose To The Novelist That He Shall Combine The Accuracy Of The Historical Scholar With The Creative Imagination Of The Writer Of What, After All, Is Fiction.
