Excerpt from The History of Co-Operation in Scotland It is peculiarly appropriate that the history of the co-operative movement in Scotland should be written at this time, as the present year is to all intents the jubilee of co-operation in Scotland, it being in 1860 that the principle of dividing profits on purchases was generally adopted in this country, and I think that the perusal of the following pages should convince the reader that the time is ripe for such a work to be undertaken. The Scottish Section of the Co-operative Union deserve the gratitude of all co-operators for the idea of compiling such a volume, and they are to be congratulated on their good fortune in finding Mr Maxwell ready and willing to undertake the work. Mr Maxwell, who so recently retired with honour from the board of management of the Wholesale Society (to the general regret of the co-operators of Scotland), might well have rested content with the reputation he had obtained and the results achieved by his long and arduous labours for the good of the movement; but his interest in the cause being deep-rooted, his response to the call was prompt and ungrudging. No man better fitted for the task could have been chosen. In his youthful days, Mr Maxwell was an active trades unionist. Removing to Edinburgh, he became a member of St Cuthbert's Co-operative Association, and as early as 1877 was secretary of that society, acting at the same time as secretary to the East of Scotland Conference Association.
