I l I do not feel that it is necessary to take a tone of apology in sub mitting a calendar or précis of charters and other legal and ecclesiastical — I documents which , from various sources presume mainly from the — donations o r bequests of m embers have come into posses sion of this

S ociety . It has become the fashion of late to depreciate not only the interest but the value of the information to be derived from the stu dy of

O n e r e a dil r this class of our memorials of the past . can indeed y enough

a i s understand that to the m j ority of readers , th e average charter not particularly lively reading , is of no interest as a record of human

o n l o f character or feeling , and y rarely , and then by way incidental allusion , concerns itself with the greater events of history or th e motives o o f the actors therein . The sam e things migh t be said with greater force

of monumental inscriptions of every kind , and of parish and other

Bu t registers . all this admitted , th e more probably , because of these very defects, is the grave , dry , technical document a reliable statement of

s w h the transaction it records, the date when it took place, the person o

i t t h e took part in , their mutual relations of kinship or dependence , and social conditions of the tim e so far as these are to any e xtent involved

. d in the terms of the transaction itself And that much sai , the vindica tion of the place and use of th e charter a s containin g many of at le a st the dry bones of history is surely complete , even as regards those h h M S . countries , more fortunate t an our own , where ot er sources are abundant

As regards Scotland , their importance as sources of information

be I t cannot exaggerated . is well known how many and irreparable are

MS t h e the gaps in the . materials for our history . Thanks to depreda E d E I tions of our auld enemies of nglan , especially dward . , Surrey , F T HE S 8 1 907 . PROCEE DINGS O OCIETY , APRIL ,

s , and Cromwell , and al o , though to a much smaller extent to accidents

o u r for which we can impute no responsibility in that quarter, national

bo t h C S records properp of hurch and tate , for long and especially the - earlier periods of our ( hi story can only be described as non existent .

n Moreover, we have to lament our misfortune that, owi g partly to defective legislation and partly to the loss or destruction of church

. and parish registers (where these e xisted) at the time of the Reforma

tion , or otherwise , we are, up to a period well within the recollection

n of many now present , without the informatio , so valuable for the

s history of fa milies and the a certainment of rights , obtainable from these sou rces .

In the absence, then , of other authentic sources , particularly prior to the h organisation of our land registers about three undred years ago, the value

r of the many collections of charte s in public repositories, or preserved in private hands and still largely unexamined , cannot be overestimated .

They are the only resource still available to the student of genealogy , I t topography, and the tenure , use, and occupation of land . is matter h r MS S . of surp ise , therefore , that the Commission on Historical ave recently determined to exclude from their reports all charters contained

—i n in the various collections laid open to their examination other words , to ignore the most (o r only) authentic sources of information on these and related subj ects . I t is to be hoped that this decision may yet be reconsidered , and the publication of the substance of all charters and

I . As other deeds prior at least to the reign of Charles . be resumed regards Scotland , the matter is one of very considerable importance and

o f C n the opportunities which the reports the ommissio , with the facilities for investigation and the guarantees of completeness and accuracy which

the skill and acquirements of its members afford , should not be lost . The private investigator cannot in most cases hope to compete with the claims of a public commission , for to him many collections would be h closed which would readily be thrown open to t em .

The collection of which a calenda r is now submitted to the members of this Society is not extensive , and is only part of the many original 05 A CALENDAR or CHARTERS AND OTHER WRITS . 3

As it is not large, so neither can it be said to be of any special

u importance, though many of the n mbers are of a very interesting

character . The valu e of all such collections is in a sense cumulative . F ﬁll or this it can only be claimed that it may a blank , supply a missing link , give a date , or make a correction , and thus form part of what, when all similar sources are e xhausted , may prove an important addition M I t to the S . materials of our history . is another stone added to th e cairn . I do not propose to ta x your patience by giving any detailed T I account of its con tents . hat is unnecessary , as presum e the calendar

T r a nsa ct i on s will form part of th e nex t volume of th e , and my obj ect in these preliminary remarks is j ust to give a general description and refer to a few of th e leading documents .

c ompleteness and rapidity of the transition effected by the Act which

o ld abolished the and introduced the new religion . We know well

enough how meagre was the provision made for the reformed clergy,

d ifﬁcu l t i e s i n and what they had securing payment of its pittances, and we correctly attribute that largely to the s elﬁsh n e s s and rapacity of the

B ut lords an d lairds . we forge t that for more than a generation , though

u in grad ally diminishing numbers , many o f the old clergy , secular and

regular, continued in the more or less undisturbed possession of th eir parishes and “ rookeries and the profession and practice of the old

faith . We have proof of that in some documents contained in this

. O n e 1 58 2 m calendar is a charter, dated in , by which the co mendator and convent of the abbey of C ulross grant a feu of certain lands

belonging to the abbey . The charter is signed at the monastery by the c n r C b m omme dator, Ale xande olville, and y four onks, probably all who A D 1 5 9 4 were then in residence . nother is a tack , dated in ecember ,

number than one somehow expects, and are by no means suggestive of that skill in caligraphy with which we credit the monks of the A I f Middle ges . anything, they seem to substantiate the charges made against the religious fraternities of the sixteenth century that the

Th e majority were grossly illiterate . scarcity of signatures, however, may be explained either on the assumption that the remainder of the

resident monks were unable to write their names, or that the numbers

actually resident were fewer than we are generally led to believe . I have never seen more than twenty signatures attached to any such

. documents The largest number in this collection is fourteen, attached - C to a feu charter by the commendator and convent of ulross , dated 1 545 in .

Among the remaining writs we ﬁn d a combined retour and letters of

Mu n du l e belonged to Henry y , laird of Tynwald . A s a rule th e vocabulary of the writs (o i which there are a good many specimens in the calendar) written in the vernac u lar is not so copious as in the

n literary survivals of the correspondi g periods . Only here and there do we meet with words and phrases which have long dropped out of

use, as where in the inquest j ust mentioned the assise are said before ,

’ n rent in augmentation of the king s reve ue , to sell tobacco in small quantities . The letter directs that the licensees so appointed shall become bound to sell only sound tobacco, and to keep good order in

Th e a their houses and shops . latter clause would lmost suggest that the tobacco was to be sold for consumption on the premises , and that th e smokers were probably in the habit at their symposiums of using, even

diplomatic or more historical class of manuscripts . The further back we

b e d in which an important transaction or arrangement may e xpresse . C w ontrast, for example , the marriage contract hich I have mentioned a s

ﬁrs t n forming the number of the calendar with any more rece t example . As the years roll on and the preparation of such deeds falls into the

hands of the lay notary or professional scrivener, experienced in meeting the evasions and wiles with which the cunning of the special pleader too

often defeated before the courts the plainest intentions of parties , the

re ﬁn em en t s and prolixities increased , until in the seventeenth century

they arrived at a maximum , when a marriage contract or other deed , the sheets pasted end to end , forms in many cases a closely written roll man y

. We B — yards in length have improved on that a little . u t even to day the conveyancer, perhaps unconsciously, is often repeatin g the forms an d using the very language stereotyped by his predecessors three hundred years ago .
