D. 1630-1662 Old Glasgow, have done much to draw attention to the early history of the City. For such work this and the preceding volume provide authentic materials to which otherwise it would be practically impossible to make adequate reference. The Index which accompanies this volume does not apply to the Extracts from the Accounts of the Burgh, for the period from 1630 till 1661-2 - extending from page 501 to page 552. The entries in these Accounts are stated in a form so condensed as greatly to facilitate reference and supersede the necessity for including them in the index, which would otherwise have been unduly extended. Circumstances of a purely personal nature have prevented the issue of the volume of Charters and Documents relating to Glasgow. The whole of the body of the book has been completed for some time, and contains the Charters of the Burgh and other illustrative documents from the institution of the Burgh till 1648. The Editor hopes to be able to complete the Preface to that collection without much further delay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
