REPORT OF THE FIFTY-SECOND
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE
SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY
The Fifty-Second Annual Meeting of the Society was held
in the Caledonian Hotel, Edinburgh, on Saturday, 10th
December 1938, at 3 p.m. The Rt. Hon. Lord Clyde, LL.D.,
President of the Society, occupied the chair.
The Report of the Council was as follows :—
Since the last report of the Council three volumes have been
issued to members. Of these, the first was Early Letters of
Robert Wodrow, w'hich fills a gap in the publications of the
Wodrow Society. Under the sympathetic editorship of Dr.
L. W. Sharp these letters present a very human portrait of
Principal Wodrow in his early years. The Chronicle of Holy-
rood, which members received in February, was edited by
Dr. Alan O. Anderson and Mrs. Marjorie O. Anderson. The
scholarly work of the editors has made this volume one of the
major contributions of the Society to medieval Scottish his¬
tory. The Jacobite Court at Rome, 1719, edited by Miss
Henrietta Tayler, was issued in September. This volume,
which gives a graphic picture of the intrigues that surrounded
James Edward, consists of two sections—a narrative by Lord
Pitsligo which Miss Tayler found among the manuscripts of
Lord Clinton at Fettercairn House, and a selection of letters
from the Royal collection of Stuart Papers at Windsor Castle.
