GENERAL INDEX
TO CRIMINAL TRIALS, &c.
DURING THE REIGNS OF
KINGS JAMES IV AND V, MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS, AND KING JAMES VI.
%* The reader, in consulting the following Index, is requested to remark,
that owing to the Editor's having been under the necessity of sending the
Trials which occurred during the reign of King Jajies VI. to pi'ess, before
the introductory portions of this work were compiled, it became requisite for
him to page the earlier reigns in Vol. I. thus, * 1, * 2, &c. In order to avoid the
annoyance and trouble of consulting separate Indices of persons and matters,
the Editor has bestowed a great deal of time and labour in constructing an
extremely copious General Index, which he may venture to say embraces
every circumstance contained in the work, which is at all likely to be esteemed
interesting and useful to the historian, lawyei", antiquary, or genealogist. The
most prominent of the ancient words and phrases, and the leading historical
facts, superstitions, &c., have also been incorporated, so as to render the work
more acceptable, and also as useful as possible to the public, as a book of
reference.
