PREFACE

The Register of the Burgesses of the Burgh of the Canongate has

been compiled from a Book of Records of the Ancient Privileges

of the Canongate and from the Council Books of the Burgh which

record the Acts and Statutes of the Bailies of the Canongate,

Admission of Burgesses, Constables and Officers of Train Bands,

and Copies of Charters.

An earlier volume dated from ist October 1561 to 23rd October

1588 is missing, but extracts from it are to be found in the printed

volume "Miscellany of the Maitland Club," vol. ii. There must

also have been a volume from the latter date until the 27th June

1622 when the first admission of a burgess is recorded in this

Register.

All that has been found for the years between 5th September

1677 and 5th October 1691 is a fragment of a page with the names

of ten burgesses entered in August and September 1682.

Contractions used :—

B.—burgess. by r. of—by right of.

Dec.—deceased. w.—wife.

Dau.—daughter. yr.—

younger.Pr.—apprentice.

If gratis is not mentioned, or a special reason is not given, the

admission of burgess-ship is by purchase.
