Rev. Alexander Stewart was an author whose identity was that of a clergyman, and reliable information about his life and works is quite limited in publicly available sources. Only one work by him is confirmed in the present collection, namely Nether Lochaber. Judging from the title and the author's clerical background, the book most likely deals with the natural scenery, local observations, and parish life of the Lochaber district in the Scottish Highlands, and it may be expected to show the careful observation and plain, measured tone often associated with clergyman-authors. Since most details of his biography, education, and writing career cannot be verified, this note can only briefly present his known identity as a minister and this single work, while further information awaits discovery in relevant literature and local historical records.
