And a Catalogue of Books Printed for the Abbotsford Club Since Its \ —tx^- atbljotsforti CM, A LIST OF THE MEMBERS; THE RULES; AND A CATALOGUE OF BOOKS PRINTED FOR THE ABBOTSFORD CLUB SINCE ITS INSTITUTION IN 1833. EDINBURGH: M.DCCC.LXVI. (JlMllKAHY.- The Abbotsford Club was instituted on the 20th of March 1833. The chief promoter of this scheme was the late Mr Turnbull, Advocate. At the General Meeting for the Election of OfRce-Bearers, on the 23d November 1833, John Hope, Esq., Dean of Faculty (afterwards Right Hon. the Lord Justice-Clerk), was nominated as Vice-President, and in the following year elected President of the Club. Mr Turnbull was at that time appointed Secretary ; and it was mainly owing to his enthusiastic zeal and unwearied exertions that the Club owed much of its success. It is unnecessary to give any minute details of its pro- ceedings ; but from some private motives the Secretary resigned his office on 9th November 1841, still remaining as a Member. The following List of Members, extra,cted from the Minutes of the Club, includes the Names of several Members elected between 1835 and 1840, which, by some oversight, were omitted to be recorded in the Minutes. The Club has continued for several years to have had little more than a mere nominal existence; although a few volumes have been contributed by individual Members, as the following Catalogue will exhibit. But the Club may now be considered to have reached its termination. D. L. January 1866. OFEICE-BEAREES. 20th March 1833. JOHN HOPE, ESQ. DEAN OF FACULTY, Vice-President.

PREFATORY NOTICE. The following historical Memoir lias been selected by the Editor as the subject of his contribution to The Abbotsford Club—as well from the consideration of the interesting, but still obscure, period of Scottish history to which it refers, and which it materially tends to illustrate in many minute parti- culars—as from the fact that the transcript, or rather abridg- ment, of the original j\IS. by Lord Herries, now belonging to the Faculty of Advocates, is nearly all that is known to have been preserved of the valuable historical Collections made by the members of the Scots College of Douay, which, unfortu- nately, appear to have been totally destroyed during the French Revolution.

Considering the intrinsic importance of the subject, it is surprising that so little has been done in this respect. The most vivid light is thrown upon the social and literary aspects of the time by many manuscript collections and letters, which have never been published or even adequately catalogued.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    I INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • 1 Walter Scott's Bannatyne Club, Elite Male Associational Culture, and The
    1 Walter Scott’s Bannatyne Club, Elite Male Associational Culture, and the Making of Identities ABSTRACT: Examination of the choice of George Bannatyne (1545–1607/8) as titular patron for the antiquarian printing society founded by Sir Walter Scott, the Bannatyne Club (1823–1861), casts new light on the elite male associational culture of the gentleman’s club at a moment of transition from amateur scholarship to the professional academic work of universities and learned societies. In celebrating Bannatyne, the Club engages in self-conscious practices of myth-making that illuminate the members’ sense of their own relationship to the past, and of the Club’s function in endorsing a distinctive Scottish identity in the context of political union. Analysis of a unique collection of papers compiled by an ordinary club member, James Nairne, offers evidence of the complex intersection of personal and scholarly motivations at work in the antiquarian printing club, and of the significance of the past in shaping personal and collective identities. ARTICLE: The antiquarian printing society founded by Sir Walter Scott, the Bannatyne Club (1823– 1861), plays an important part in the development of literary and historical studies in nineteenth- century Britain. Scott’s Club was initially modelled on the elite Roxburghe Club (1812–), then a society of thirty-one members, primarily drawn from the aristocracy, but including a few gentlemen. Each Roxburghe member was to present a reprint of a rare book or edition of a manuscript to the Club, in a run strictly limited to one hundred copies, though in practice fewer were usually printed, and Roxburghe Club books were kept in private hands.1 In contrast, the 2 Bannatyne Club from the outset encompassed a more diverse membership, including men involved in the trades of publishing and printing.

  • Religious Controversy and Scottish Society, C.1679-1714 Alasdair J. N
    Religious Controversy and Scottish Society, c.1679-1714 Alasdair J. N. Raffe Ph.D. The University of Edinburgh 2007 ii Abstract This thesis analyses religious controversy in late seventeenth- and early eighteenth- century Scotland, examining both the arguments of the educated elites and those of ordinary people. Defining religious controversy as arguments between members of rival religious parties , the thesis concentrates on disputes between presbyterians and episcopalians, and within presbyterianism. In the main, these arguments did not focus on Church government, but embraced a broad range of issues, including allegations of ‘persecution’ (discussed in chapter two), ‘fanaticism’ and ‘enthusiasm’ (chapter three) and the reputations of rival clergy (chapter four). Incidents of crowd violence, the subject of chapter five, provoked controversy, and also promoted the objectives of the religious parties. Chapter six illustrates the significance of debates over the National Covenant and the Solemn League and Covenant, before and after the revolution of 1688-90. Chapter seven then discusses the arguments that gave rise to presbyterian separatism in the years after 1690. As chapter eight explains, the union of 1707 proved highly contentious for presbyterians, and led to a series of political blows to the presbyterian Church. Chapter nine surveys the role in religious controversy of concerns over English theology, new philosophy and atheism. Finally, chapter ten concludes by examining the consequences of controversy for Scottish society. As well as printed pamphlets, satirical verses, sermons and memoirs by elite authors, the thesis draws on the petitions, diaries and correspondence of ordinary people, their testimony to church courts, and evidence of their involvement in crowd violence and separatist worship.

OF THE ANCIENT HERALDIC MANUSCRIPT, EMBLAZONED BY THE CELEBRATED SIR DAVID LYNDSAY OF THE MOUNT, > With an Introduction, By DAVID LAING, LL.D. This exceedingly curious Manuscript, executed in the year 1542, contains, besides the Armorial Bearings of many Foreign Princes, and of various Members of the Royal Family of Scotland, a Scotish Peerage and Baronage of the Period. Of the ancient nobles of Scotland, no fewer than one hundred and fourteen Coats of Arms are given ; while the Baronage, which in- cludes the principal Families of the country, exhibits one hundred and ninety-four Shields and Qaarterings. Some of the Blajfci^gs are accompanied by explanations in the hand-writing of the j all of which are given in facsimile. It is well known that Sir David Lyndsay was the most skill herald of his age, and a facsimile, therefore, of his work on this sub^ ject, blazoned by his own hand, will, it is hoped, be acceptable to all interested in the subject. Although the work is nearly the earliest extant upon/ the subject of Heraldry, it presents a most favourable specimen of the state of the Art in Scotland, at the period of its execution.
