Our army has been thoroughly reorganised on modern lines, and is now equipped with modern weapons. The old type of soldiers wore sandals, and carried bows and arrows; they knew nothing of modern discipline and warfare. Towards the end of the last century the Chinese army was re-equipped. Soldiers were taught to fire rifles. But the establishment of the Republic marked a further advance in the organisation and equipment of our array. The Chinese troops of to-day have been trained on European lines and sometimes by European officers. A word or two on the current political events in China to conclude my lecture. The Revolution in 1912 resulted in the establishment of the Republic. Since then the country has seen much internal disturbance, and the North and the South are now in armed conflict. But the Chinese, according to their traditions, are always ready to compromise in their quarrels, and I have reason to expect that compromise will eventually hold the different parts of the country together. The development of railways will shorten the distance between the different provinces, and will enable the Central Government to exercise a more effective control over them. R~preseutative government has been introduced into China, but unless people arc sufficiently educated to form a real and genuine public opinion, representative government then tends to become a tyranny by ~he representatives. Federation may provide a means to develop the vast country, but centralisation is still more urgent. The future of China lies in her economic development and in her popular education. These problems have already been attacked in a perfunctory manner, but more remains to be done. I conclude my lecture with the hope that disinterested and sympathetic friends of China in Scotland and England will always extend to China a helping hand in her times of difficulty.

PP~OBABL¥ no revolution was ever effected more quietly than by the passing of the Act of 6th February last, which, it is expected, will increase the Parliamentary Electorate of the United Kingdom from a little over eight to almost sixteen and a half million of voters--six millions of whom will be women. An admirable Report by a specially appointed Boundary Commission for Scotland preceded the passing of the Act, and will be found in the Society's Library. 1 The present notice is based upon its terms. 1 I~eport of the Bou~dary ~em~nissio~n (Scotland}.

THE NEW PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION OF SCOTLAND. 295 According to the Secretary for Scotland's instructions to the Soot- ~ish Boundary Commissioners, they were to divide the population of Scotland in such a manner as to give one Member of Parliament for each population of 70,000, and for every multiple of 70,000, and an additional member for any remainder which was not less than 50,000. In carrying out these instructions, the Commissioners divided Scot- land into the following separate constituencies; and their Report was agreed to by Parliament with a few unimportant amendments which are given effect to in this summary of its terms :--- ESTIMATED I°OPU - LATION 1914.

By the foregoing statutory division, Scotland was allotted 71 Downloaded by [University of York] at 05:50 12 June 2016 members of Parliament, whereof 38 represented counties and 33 parlia- mentary burghs or districts of burghs. As Scotland was also, under the Act, to have 3 University members (by means of a combined University constituency of the Universities of St. Andrews, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh), her total representation in Parliament would be 74 members, or two members more than formerly. With regard to the political effect of the above geographical distribution of Scottish members of Parliament, it is plain from the foregoing division that the county of Lanark, with its 7 county and 15 Glasgow members, or 22 in all, will possess a preponderating parlia- mentary influence as compared with that of other counties. As the bulk of the population of the country lies in the Scottish Midlands, we are not surprised to find that the counties and burghs of Lanark, Dumbarton, Ayr, Renfrew, Midlothian, Linlithgow, and Stirling VOL. XXXIV, Z 298 SCOTTISH GEOGRAPHICAL MAGAZINE. and Claekmannan, with their united 44 members, contain considerably more than one-half of the parliamentary representation of Scotland. At the same time, the d{vision has been so carefully and fairly made by the Commissioners, that the rest of Scotland has no cause to complain, as even its remotest districts have been allotted an adequate number of members.

In the publication of the Morayshire Register and Elgin AND Forres Directory, I would respectfully solicit the in- dulgence of the Public in any omissions which, notwithstanding the greatest care, may have inadvertently occurred inafirst num- ber. I trust that, whatever may be its faults, I have succeeded in bringing before the public much useful and interesting infor- mation regarding the institutions of the county and burghs, and, in particular, in giving a distinct and concise account of the various charitable mortifications vested in the Kirk-session of Elgin, and Magistrates and other public bodies of Elgin and Forres. The streets and courts of the towns, in several instances, not being properly named, and the houses not numbered, ren- der the Directory not so complete as it , would otherwise have been ; but I trust that this deficiency will be supplied before another season. I would, in conclusion, take this opportunity of tendering my warmest thanks to the public officers of the county and burghs for the ready access to the records they on all occasions afforded me, and to the public generally for the large measure of support which has already been bestowed on my humble exertions.

  • Historic Series
    The First 43 British General Elections, 1832-2001 This data set was put together over the course of a decade with the help of Bruce Tether and James Cornford (at Newcastle) Kevin Holohan, David Cutts, and Ron Johnston (At Bristol), Heather Eyre (at Leeds), John Pritchard (at Sheffield), William Field (who supplied the raw 1885-1951 data) and Ron Johnston (who found the source for the data from 1832-1885). The Data is of all general election results since 1832 but were simplified by assigning votes to nearest equivalent modern parties: Con, Lab, Lib, Nat, Other and abstentions. For the period 1832-1880: Chartists and Lib-Lab votes were labelled as Lab; votes were totalled to produce one per party per seat (so that there were no multi-member seats; university seats were ignored; then votes were redistributed to 1885 seats (i.e. Bristol’s votes evenly distributed to the four seats of Bristol N, S, W and E using seat names as a guide to the allocation). A table is given below of how this allocation was done. For the period 1885-1910: Liberal Unionists votes were labelled as Con; votes were simplified as before and all then redistributed to 1918 seats using Kinnear’s maps: the British voter, 1968 (for example Bristol South votes were redistributed to Bristol South and Central – tables are given below). For the period 1918-1945: A similar process was followed, and the 25 new seats of 1945 allocated by hand, then redistributed to the seats of 1950 (see tables below). All the results by1950-1951 seat were then redistributed to 1955 by the final table below – based on working with maps of boundaries by hand.

N> i 1 MDCCCXCVir. r , PREFACE. Among the royal burghs in Scotland, Aberdeen holds a prominent position for the completeness of its municipal history, and in no respect is this more clearly shown than by glancing down the long list of those who have held the chief civic position in the community. In making a retrospect of the municipal life of the burgh, we are indebted to the almost unbroken series of local records, both civil and ecclesiastical, for the material used for placing in relief the history of those who, in times gone past, have guided the counsels of the ancient burgh. The aim of the following sketches is to gather up the frag- ments of history relating to the various occupants of the civic chair, and to group round them some of the incidents of their municipal career, with the possibility, it may be, of interesting not a few in the fact that, as Baillie Skene says, " this city hath not been a barren mother or nurse in our Israel in bringing forth and breeding up many eminent men and brave spirits, whereof there may be set down a large catalogue." The list of those who have filled the chair, so far as recovered, embraces the names of one hundred and forty-two individuals, who might fitly find a place in such a catalogue as Baillie Skene proposed.
