During the continued absence of iMr G. W. Shirley on active service this volume has been seen through the press by Mr R. C. Reid and Mrs Shirley, who regret that, owing to the difficulties which at present beset all publication, several valu- able papers have had to be held over to the next volume. The Society has to express its obligations to the Society of Antiquaries, Edinburgh, Dr Robert Munro, and Mr W. G. Collingwood for the loan of a number of blocks used to illus- trate this volume. The Society is also indebted to the Cumberland and West- morland Antiquarian and Archseological Society for permis- sion to reprint the Rev. F. W. Ragg's paper on " Strathclyde and (ialloway Charters," and for the use of certain type in connection therewith. The Editors will be glad to receive any information that may assist them in compiling a Roll of Honour of the Society. It must be understood that as each contributor has seen the proof of his paper the Society does not hold itself respon- sible for the accuracy of the data gi\en therein. Members working on local Natural History and Archaeo- logical subjects should communicate with the Hon. Interim Secretary. Papers may be submitted at any time, preference being given to original work on local subjects. Enquiries regarding the purchase of Transactions and payment of subscriptions should be made to the Hon. Trea- surer, Mr M. H. M'Kerrow, 43 Buccleuch Street, Dumfries. Exchanges, Presentations, and Exhibits should be sent to the Hon. Interim Secretary, Ewart Public Library, Dum- fries.

The Annual General Meeting of the Society was held at 7.15 p.m. —Mr G. M'Leod Stewart in the chair. Minutes of previous meeting were read and approved of. Apologies for absence were read from the Hon. President, Mr Hugh Gladstone; Mr Charles Ralston, Mr J. C. R. Macdonald, Mr James Flett, Colonel Thorburn, and Mr R. C Reid. Mr M. H. M'Kerrow, the Hon. Treasurer, reported that he had in hand £4.5 4s yd, which would be exhausted on pay- ment of printing of the Transactions now in the press. Mr G. M'Leod Stewart, Hon. Librarian, gave an exhaus- tive report on the additions to the Library by exchange and by presentation. Mr R. C. Reid, who was editing the volume of Trans- actions for the past session, wrote explaining that the book was in the printers' hands and would be ready shortly. The Interim .Secretary gave a resume of the meetings throughout the past session. It was agreed that the various office-bearers be continued without change for another session, with the addition of Mr J. C. R. Macdonald to the Council. — — 10 AiXNUAL Meeting. Provost Arnott moved that the hour of meeting be now changed to 7.30. This was seconded by ex-Provost Turner and carried. Votes of thanks were accorded to the office-bearers for their services. Animal Intelligence. By Sir Herbert Maxwell, Bart. I am afraid that when you have heard what I have to say to you to-night you will complain that I have done no better service than to lead you into a labyrinth and leave you to find your own way out of it. I am far—very far—from claiming to have struck a fresh clue to the delimitation of instinct and reason. All I propose is to review some of the more sug- gestive points in the evidence collected by many careful ob- servers and to indicate the direction in which scientific opinion seems to tend. The problem has resolved itself into three main tranches : 1. Are animals, other than man, born, and do they continue through life unconscious automata? 2. If they are conscious, are their consciousness and in- telligence the physical product of certain chemical and organic changes taking place in the growth of the eggs, embryo, or young creature, and therefore spon- taneous in the sense that muscle, bone, and blood develop by the spontaneous multiplication of cells? 3. Is the conscious intelligence exoteric? In other words, is it the consequence of an external and superior man- date or suggestion, acting upon a suitable physical receptacle ? I, Are animals born, and do they remain unconscious automata? Nobody who has systematically watched the behaviour of the young of birds and other animals is likely long to enter- tain the belief that, even if they are hatched or born as — Animal Intelligence. 11 unconscious automata, they continue so for more than a very brief period—that they are, as it were, delicate and ingenious pieces of clockwork, performing with regularity those func- tions for which they are designed and adapted, so long as they are regularly wound up, i.e., fed. Experience, whereof the effects are manifest in every animal sufficiently highly organised for man to interpret its behaviour, and which may exist in the grades of life so low as to baffle human scrutiny experience, I say, and instruction, whereof very few, if any, vertebrate animals are insusceptible,^ are undoubtedly agents upon animal behaviour predicating a mental process such as could be implanted in no mere machine. To take a very homely illustration : no amount of repeated battering will prevent a humming top bumping itself against furniture and other obstacles when it is set spinning ; but one recognises the effect of experience upon the conduct of animals so low in the scale of life that it is difficult to believe that any sentient creature can be totally devoid of conscious volition. In 1873 -Dr Mobius reported to the Society of Natural Science for Schleswig-Holstein some observations by Herr Amtsberg of Straisund on the behaviour of a large pike. Being confined in an aquarium, this fish wrought such havoc among other fish in the same tank that Herr Amtsberg caused it to be separated from them by a sheet of plate-glass. Thereafter, every time the pike made a dash at one of its neighbours, it received a severe blow on the nose. The pre- datory instinct was so strong that it took three months to convince the pike that every attempt upon the life of these small fish resulted in pain to itself.

  • Scotland's Regional Print Economy in The
    Scotland’s regional print economy in the nineteenth century Helen Sarah Williams A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University, for the award of Doctor of Philosophy May 2018 Abstract Scotland’s regional print economy in the nineteenth century Printing has been one of Scotland's most significant industries since it was introduced over 500 years ago but remained for much of the period, a local industry. The Scottish publishing and printing industries in the nineteenth century left many documentary traces, but most research has concentrated on large urban centres such as Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, with regional centres of print production all but ignored. In the nineteenth century, these local print economies served the business, administrative, political and leisure needs of an increasingly urbanised Scotland. My research is focused on the operation of the support structures and networks which developed among operative printers in Scotland's regional print centres from around 1830 to the end of the nineteenth century. As a case study I have selected the Royal Burgh of Dumfries, the most important market town in south-west Scotland, which was also a stop on the route between central Scotland and the industrial centres of Lancashire, and further south to London. A local printing industry developed during the eighteenth century, and by 1830 Dumfries was the home of a range of businesses in the printing and allied trades. The examination of the local print economy investigates the businesses and organisations engaged in print production and distribution in the local area, the technologies which were in use, and the material record of the town.

H. Beals1 'We feel highly flattered in perceiving that articles are occasionally copied from the Sydney Gazette, into the best conducted Journals as well of Great Britain as of India'. The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser, 2 January 1819 George Howe was a newspaper man, and his life, like his trade, stretched haphazardly across the late-Georgian empire. Born on St Kitts to Thomas Howe, government printer at Basseterre, the young Howe was himself apprenticed to the West Indian printing trade before departing for London in 1790 to pursue a career in journalism. There, he worked for The Times and other English newspapers until his unfortunate incarceration—for shoplifting—in 1799 and his subsequent transportation to New South Wales.2 His previous employment proved immediately advantageous and he was assigned to operate the government printing press on behalf Governor Philip Gidley King.
