REPORT OF THE THIRTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY
THE THIRTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY was held on TUESDAY, November
21, 1899, in Dowell's Rooms, George Street, Edinburgh,--Emeritus Professor
MASSON in the chair.
The HON. SECRETARY read the Report of the Council, as follows:--
During the past year the Society has lost twenty members, ten by death and
ten by resignation. When the vacancies are filled up there will remain
seventy names on the list of candidates for admission. In addition to the
400 individual members of the Society there are now 64 Public Libraries
subscribing for the Society's publications.
The Council particularly desire to express their regret at the death of the
Rev. Dr. Alexander Mitchell, formerly Professor of Ecclesiastical History
at St. Andrews University, and of the Rev. A.W. Cornelius Hallen. From the
foundation of the Society, Dr. Mitchell had been a corresponding member of
the Council. He took a great interest in the Society's work, and, in
conjunction with the Rev. Dr. Christie, edited for us two volumes of _The
Records of the Commissions of the General Assembly of the Years_ 1646-
49. Mr. Hallen was also an active member of the Council for many years, and
edited _The Account Book of Sir John Foulis of Ravelston_.
The Society's publications belonging to the issue of the past year, viz.,
Mr. Ferguson's first volume of _Papers Illustrating the History of the
Scots Brigade_, and Mr. Firth's volume on _Scotland and the
Protectorate_, have been for some months in the hands of members. But
members for this year, 1898-99, are to be congratulated on their good
fortune in receiving, in addition to the ordinary issue of the Society, two
other volumes as a gift. It will be remembered that at our last Annual
Meeting Mr. Balfour Paul announced on behalf of the trustees of the late
Sir William Fraser, K.C.B., that, acting on the terms of the trust, they
were prepared to print and present to members on the roll for the year
1898-99, at least one, and perhaps two volumes of documents having the
special object of illustrating the family history of Scotland. The work
then suggested, and subsequently determined upon, was the Macfarlane
Genealogical Collections relating to families in Scotland, MSS. in the
Advocates' Library, now passing through the press in two volumes, under the
editorial care of Mr. J.T. Clark, the Keeper of the Library. The whole of
the first volume and the greater part of the second are already in type.
The Council, who very highly appreciate this welcome donation, desire to
convey to the trustees the cordial thanks of the Society for their share in
the presentation.
The following are the publications assigned to the coming year, 1899-1900:
(1.) The second volume of the _Scots Brigade_ which is already
printed, bound, and ready for issue.
(2.) _The Journal of a Foreign Tour in 1665 and 1666_, and portions of
other Journals, by Sir John Lauder, Lord Fountainhall, edited by Mr. Donald
Crawford, Sheriff of Aberdeen, Kincardine and Banff. The greater part of
this book also is in type.
(3.) _Dispatches of the Papal Envoys to Queen Mary during her reign in
Scotland_, edited by the Rev. J. Hungerford Pollen, S.J. The editor
expects to send his manuscripts to the printer in January next.
Several new works have been proposed and provisionally accepted by the
Council. Dr. J.H. Wallace-James offers a collection of Charters and
Documents of the Grey Friars of Haddington and of the Cistercian Nunnery of
Haddington. They will be the more welcome, as the desire has been
frequently expressed that the Society should deal more fully with the
period preceding the Reformation.
Mr. Firth has suggested the publication of certain unedited or imperfectly
edited papers concerning the _Negotiations for the Union of England and
Scotland in_ 1651-1653, and Mr. C. Sandford Terry of Aberdeen has kindly
consented to edit them.
