Series Z2061 ISBN 0-906-245-08-70-86193-111-4 Printed in Great Britain by St Edmundsbury Press, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, PREFACE This book is primarily intended to form a companion volume to two works produced by E. L. C. Mullins for the Royal Historical Society’s ‘Guides and Handbooks’ series: Texts and calendars. An analytical guide to serial publications (1958) and Texts and calendars II. An analytical guide to serial publications 1957-1982 (1983). Mullins described the first of these works as ‘an analytical guide to printed texts and calendars relating to English and Welsh history issued in general collections or in series by a public body or private society’. However, the work was also planned to form a catalogue of a section of the Royal Historical Society Library which, though defined in similar terms to those quoted above, was in fact rather more extensive than they suggest, in that the Library included texts and calendars published by official bodies relating to Scotland (and some relating to Ireland) as well as English and Welsh ones. Thus, in both of Mullins’ invaluable works, ‘Part 1: Official Bodies’ includes works relating to Scotland, while parts 2-5, concerned with publications of private societies, are limited in coverage to England and Wales. The present work, designed as a Scottish supplement to Mullins’ works, is therefore limited to private societies; listings of Scottish works produced by official bodies should be sought in Mullins. The only exception to this is that a few Scottish official publications omitted by Mullins, or published since his second work appeared, are listed in an Appendix. Thus it might be argued that Mullins’ works contain a degree of inconsistency in their coverage (British for official publica- tions but English and Welsh for private ones) through trying to be two things at once (general reference work and library guide). It may be that the same strains are apparent in the present work. As well as being designed as a supplement to Mullins, it is also intended to update and partly replace two older Scottish reference works: C. S. Terry, A catalogue of the publications of Scottish historical and kindred clubs and societies, and of the volumes v PREFACE relevant to Scottish history issued by His Majesty's Stationery Office, 1780-1908 (1909), and C. Matheson, A catalogue of the publica- tions of Scottish historical and kindred clubs and societies . 1908-1927 (1928). The replacement of Terry and Matheson offered by the present volume is however incomplete in that— 1. As explained above, the present work does not list official publications. 2. The present work is limited to listing series mainly concerned with primary sources, and thus omits the listing of contents of series and periodicals consisting of secondary works which Terry and Matheson included. 3. The detailed bibliographical information they contained as to pagination, size of volumes, illustrations, etc., has been omitted. 4. No attempt has been made to continue Terry’s policy of including such items as the annual reports, rules, and lists of members of societies—though those he listed do appear in the present work. In compensation for these omissions, however, the present work offers much more information than Terry and Matheson as to the contents of the works listed. They were primarily concerned to catalogue, leaving titles to speak for themselves (however inadequately). The present work, being an analytical guide, seeks as far as is possible in brief entries, to elucidate the contents of the works listed. The compilers have to admit some inconsistency in the choice of series for inclusion. The general policy has been to seek to be inclusive rather than exclusive. In some instances, in which a large portion of the publications in a series are not relevant (e.g., 2, 17, 19, 35, 41), only relevant works are listed. Series 4 and 8, being the inventions of booksellers rather than genuine private societies, and having no emphasis on Scottish sources, might well have been omitted, but have been included for the sake of completeness as they were catalogued by Terry. The purely literary and linguistic publishing societies would have been excluded by strict adherence to Mullins’ criteria, but are included here both because they are listed in Terry and Matheson, and because a high proportion of their publications consist of important historical sources. Two further series perhaps require special pleading to justify their inclusion. ‘Bute Scottish Record Series’ (7) is a title created here to describe the series of volumes printed and circulated privately by the 4th vi PREFACE Marquis of Bute and his successor. Being the productions of an individual rather than a society they should, strictly speaking, not appear in the present work. But they form a clearly-defined series of great value which it is hard to find listed anywhere else. Though the Roxburghe Club (17) has a Scottish name it is essentially English—and literary at that. But a significant proportion of its publications consists of sources relating to Scottish (primarily Jacobite) history, and these have been fisted. Both cases for inclusion rest on expediency rather than principle, but it is hoped the compilers may be indulged here as the inclusion of these series should add to the usefulness of the work as a reference tool. In general the forms of entry and index used in this volume follow Mullins, though there are some minor differences. For those not familiar with Mullins, entries take the form of a title entry followed (indented and in smaller type) by an analytical entry. In some instances the title entry conveys so much information that it stands alone, no analytical entry being thought necessary. Titles are copied strictly from title pages, except that capitalization has been standardized and punctuation added where necessary for clarity. Phrases such as ‘Edited by’ or ‘with introduction and notes by’ are copied from the title page, but names of editors, etc., are standardized by giving a single Christian name and other initials before the surname; titles such as ‘Rev.’ or ‘Dr’ are omitted, along with details of qualifications, offices held, etc. Where no editor’s name appears on the title page, this is added silently if the editor can be identified from the volume itself. If, however, the indentification has been made from other sources, the editor’s name appears in square brackets. In some cases of publications for which no editor can be identified with certainty, but which carry the name of the person presenting the volume to the club or society, the presenter’s name is included in the title entry. Those who thus presented volumes were frequently, but not invariably, their editors. Dates of publication are those that appear on the volumes, though it is clear in some cases that they are incorrect. Full titles are given, except in a few instances in which excessively long ones have been slightly shortened. Where works consist of several volumes which are fisted separately, title entries after the first are often shortened, the editor’s name being omitted if it is the same as in the previous volume or volumes. It vii PREFACE is assumed that pagination is continuous in works issued in several ‘parts’, separate in each volume of works produced in several ‘volumes’. But where, as frequently happens, clubs and societies do not adhere to this distinction between parts and volumes this is commented on in the analytical entry. In the numbering of items within a series (at the start of title entries), for most series the numbering of Terry and Matheson has been adopted and, where necessary, continued. Elsewhere the official numbering of the issuing body has usually been adopted. Divergences from these practices are explained and justified in footnotes on the first pages of entries for the series concerned. The references in the right-hand margins opposite each title entry are solely for purposes of cross-referencing and indexing, taking the form of a number in bold denoting the series, followed (after a full point) by the number of that item within the series. These forms of reference are not intended to replace the Terry and Matheson numbering, or official club numbering, for general jeference purposes. The analytical entries that follow the title entries are intended to supplement the latter, and thus title and analytical entries should be read together; information clearly given in the title entry is not repeated in the analytical entry. Thus the informa- tion in the analytical entry depends to a considerable extent on how informative the title of the work is; the intention is to give as much information as is possible in a few lines about the type of documents printed, the form of publication (full transcripts assumed unless otherwise stated), and the subjects or topics they are mainly concerned with.

NOTES AND DOCUMENTS Thomas Carlyle in 1981 The Carlyle centenary of 1981 has been celebrated so various­ ly, and in so many parts of the world, that there seems little remaining doubt about CarlYle's importance. That he has re­ surfaced after decades of neglect or unpopularity, that his reputation has survived allegations of fascism, above all that critical interest has matured beyond squabblings about his private life to look at the man and his works, all contribute to a sense that one hundred years after his death, Thomas Carlyle can perhaps be seen more clearly as a Victorian of first rank. The repositories of Carlyle papers around the world did well to mount substantial exhibitions, at Duke, at Santa Cruz, in Edinburgh University and Public libraries as well as at the National Library of Scotland. Chelsea had a small but inter­ esting exhibition, and as these words are written the display in the National Portrait Gallery of London is attracting wide­ spread attention.

  • A Soldier Fights for Three Separate but Sometimes Associated Reasons: for Duty, for Payment and for Cause
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository The press and military conflict in early modern Scotland by Alastair J. Mann A soldier fights for three separate but sometimes associated reasons: for duty, for payment and for cause. Nathianiel Hawthorne once said of valour, however, that ‘he is only brave who has affections to fight for’. Those soldiers who are prepared most readily to risk their lives are those driven by political and religious passions. From the advent of printing to the present day the printed word has provided governments and generals with a means to galvanise support and to delineate both the emotional and rational reasons for participation in conflict. Like steel and gunpowder, the press was generally available to all military propagandists in early modern Europe, and so a press war was characteristic of outbreaks of civil war and inter-national war, and thus it was for those conflicts involving the Scottish soldier. Did Scotland’s early modern soldiers carry print into battle? Paul Huhnerfeld, the biographer of the German philosopher and Nazi Martin Heidegger, provides the curious revelation that German soldiers who died at the Russian front in the Second World War were to be found with copies of Heidegger’s popular philosophical works, with all their nihilism and anti-Semitism, in their knapsacks.1 The evidence for such proximity between print and combat is inconclusive for early modern Scotland, at least in any large scale. Officers and military chaplains certainly obtained religious pamphlets during the covenanting period from 1638 to 1651.

  • TRAVEL and ADVENTURE in the WORKS of ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON by Mahmoud Mohamed Mahmoud Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department
    TRAVEL AND ADVENTURE IN THE WORKS OF ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON by Mahmoud Mohamed Mahmoud Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Scottish Literature University of Glasgow. JULY 1984 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my deepest sense of indebtedness and gratitude to my supervisor, Alexander Scott, Esq., whose wholehearted support, invaluable advice and encouragement, penetrating observations and constructive criticism throughout the research have made this work possible; and whose influence on my thinking has been so deep that the effects, certainly, will remain as long as I live. I wish also to record my thanks to my dear wife, Naha, for her encouragement and for sharing with me a considerable interest in Stevenson's works. Finally, my thanks go to both Dr. Ferdous Abdel Hameed and Dr. Mohamed A. Imam, Department of English Literature and Language, Faculty of Education, Assuit University, Egypt, for their encouragement. SUMMARY In this study I examine R.L. Stevenson as a writer of essays, poems, and books of travel as well as a writer of adventure fiction; taking the word "adventure" to include both outdoor and indoor adventure. Choosing to be remembered in his epitaph as the sailor and the hunter, Stevenson is regarded as the most interesting literary wanderer in Scottish literature and among the most intriguing in English literature. Dogged by ill- health, he travelled from "one of the vilest climates under heaven" to more congenial climates in England, the Continent, the States, and finally the South Seas where he died and was buried. Besides, Stevenson liked to escape, especially in his youth, from the respectabilities of Victorian Edinburgh and from family trouble, seeking people and places whose nature was congenial to his own Bohemian nature.

    EDINBURGH CASTLE UNDER SIEGE 1639-1745 David H. Caldwell National Museums of Scotland This is the third and final part of a review of the sieges of Edinburgh Castle, perhaps the most besieged fortress of all time. The surrender of the castle after a heavy bombardment in May 1573 by a combined English and Scottish government force had greatly dented its reputation for invincibility as well as leaving much of it in ruins. It was quickly rebuilt and strengthened, especially by the erection of the great Half Moon Battery which is such a prominent part of its structure to this day. It was then to remain untested as a fortress until the civil wars of the following century. 1639 As the Covenanting Party in Scotland moved to open conflict with their king their cause was enormously helped by the return to his native land of Alexander Leslie, a distinguished soldier who had served as a field marshal in the Swedish army. By March he was well on his way, aided by other Scottish officers who had served abroad, to creating the militia armies that were to play such an important part in the upcoming civil wars. The capture of Edinburgh Castle on 21 March marked the beginning of the First Bishops’ War.1 The castle was held by its constable, Archibald Haldane. Leslie with a party of noblemen, along with Sir Alexander Hamilton, General of the Artillery, General Major Robert Monro, both of whom had also been in Swedish service, and the companies of men raised by Edinburgh (1,000 musketeers) went up to the castle between four and five in the afternoon to parley with Haldane, apparently with the expectation that he could be persuaded to relinquish his charge or support the covenanting cause.

  • Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish History1
    The Scottish Historical Review, Volume LXXXV, 1: No. 219: April 2006, 1–27 MATTHEW H. HAMMOND Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish history1 ABSTRACT Historians have long tended to define medieval Scottish society in terms of interactions between ethnic groups. This approach was developed over the course of the long nineteenth century, a formative period for the study of medieval Scotland. At that time, many scholars based their analysis upon scientific principles, long since debunked, which held that medieval ‘peoples’ could only be understood in terms of ‘full ethnic packages’. This approach was combined with a positivist historical narrative that defined Germanic Anglo-Saxons and Normans as the harbingers of advances in Civilisation. While the prejudices of that era have largely faded away, the modern discipline still relies all too often on a dualistic ethnic framework. This is particularly evident in a structure of periodisation that draws a clear line between the ‘Celtic’ eleventh century and the ‘Norman’ twelfth. Furthermore, dualistic oppositions based on ethnicity continue, particu- larly in discussions of law, kingship, lordship and religion. Geoffrey Barrow’s Robert Bruce and the Community of the Realm of Scotland, first published in 1965 and now available in the fourth edition, is proba- bly the most widely read book ever written by a professional historian on the Middle Ages in Scotland.2 In seeking to introduce the thirteenth century to such a broad audience, Barrow depicted Alexander III’s Scot- land as fundamentally

  • The Trinitarian Ecclesiology of Thomas F. Torrance
    The Trinitarian Ecclesiology of Thomas F. Torrance Kate Helen Dugdale Submitted to fulfil the requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, November 2016. 1 2 ABSTRACT This thesis argues that rather than focusing on the Church as an institution, social grouping, or volunteer society, the study of ecclesiology must begin with a robust investigation of the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. Utilising the work of Thomas F. Torrance, it proposes that the Church is to be understood as an empirical community in space and time that is primarily shaped by the perichoretic communion of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, revealed by the economic work of the Son and the Spirit. The Church’s historical existence is thus subordinate to the Church’s relation to the Triune God, which is why the doctrine of the Trinity is assigned a regulative influence in Torrance’s work. This does not exclude the essential nature of other doctrines, but gives pre-eminence to the doctrine of the Trinity as the foundational article for ecclesiology. The methodology of this thesis is one of constructive analysis, involving a critical and constructive appreciation of Torrance’s work, and then exploring how further dialogue with Torrance’s work can be fruitfully undertaken. Part A (Chapters 1-5) focuses on the theological architectonics of Torrance’s ecclesiology, emphasising that the doctrine of the Trinity has precedence over ecclesiology. While the doctrine of the Church is the immediate object of our consideration, we cannot begin by considering the Church as a spatiotemporal institution, but rather must look ‘through the Church’ to find its dimension of depth, which is the Holy Trinity.
