REPORT OF THE SEVENTH ANNUAL
MEETING OF THE
SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY
The Seventh Annual Meeting of the Society was held on
Tuesday, October 31, 1893, at Dowell’s Rooms, George
Street, Edinburgh—Professor Masson in the chair.
The Secretary read the Report of the Council, as fol¬
lows :—
The Council announces with satisfaction that, notwithstand¬
ing a temporary delay in the issue of certain volumes now due,
very substantial work is in preparation, and as each year goes
by the material offering itself for publication increases beyond
expectation both in quantity and quality.
The Council has, however, to regret that the Ormond
Letters or Jacobite Rising of 1719, due last October, is still
postponed. A portion of the book has been in type for many
months, but it is not yet possible to say when it will be wholly
through the press. Meanwhile its place, as fourteenth volume
of the series, will be taken by the Journal of Colonel Ershine of
Cardross, edited by the Rev. Walter Macleod. This volume
will be in the hands of members in a few weeks. It will be
immediately followed by a Miscellany, a bulky volume of more
than 600 pages, which the Council resolved, a few months ago,
to issue in order to compensate for the delay in the publication
of the Ormond Letters.
