\ —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.
