Introduction.
I was engaged on medical duties at the time, my transcription was
necessarily very hurriedly done.
I offered the transcripts to the Scottish Record Society for
publication, subject to my proviso that my work should be checked
by competent authority, and I suggested the name of Mr. John
MacLeod, to whose revision and corrections this publication owes
its value.
was occasioned
Delay in the carrying out of these arrangements
by the outbreak of war, which has also prevented my going into
the subject in as much detail as I should have liked.
Most grateful thanks are due to Sir Andrew Agnew for the
loan of the original Lists for transcription and reproduction by
photography, and to Mr. John MacLeod, who, as is his custom
where the Society's Publications are concerned, has most kindly
given the Society the benefit of his valuable assistance free of
charge.
For the benefit of those who may desire in any particular
instance to refer to the it original, may be stated that a series of
photographs of the documents in facsimile has been deposited in
the Historical Department, H.M. Register House.
