Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diary and General Expenditure Book of William Cunningham of Craigends, Vol. 2: Kept Chiefly From 1673 to 1680 Presbyterians. In 1684 father and son were fined in the large sum of 6000 sterling for their encouragement of the proscribed religion and that they had earned the distinction appears from entries in the Diary of subscriptions for Alexr Padie, who lies prisoner very closse in the Basse - no doubt the famous Peden the prophet - and for other suffering ministers.1 The elder Cun ingham was for some years a prisoner in the Tolbooth for his sympathy with the Presbyterian cause. He was accused of having sent relief to Archibald, Earl of Argyll, then a fugitive in Holland on account of his determined opposition to the Government measures for the enforcement of Episcopacy. He had been closely associated with Sir William Cuningham, his daughter-in-law's first husband, who was, like himself, a thorough-going Presbyterian, and, as such, subjected to fines, imprisonment, and other forms of persecution, and no doubt the common trials of the two families helped to bring about the marriage of the diarist. The Diary incidentally casts light upon details of the domestic life and manners of the time. There is perhaps no entry which occurs more frequently than gifts to beggars at the gate' or on the road, ' and these corroborate the statements of F letcher of Saltoun and other early writers on the social condition of Scotland. Cuningham had day by day to comply with the demands of innumerable mendicants who watched him as he issued from his gate, or followed him to kirk or market. They gathered around him on his journeys, and levied contributions as he passed. It is quite certain that in those times there was occasionally much suffering in consequence of deficient harvests, but there was a class to whom mendicancy was a profitable trade. The professional beggar went from house to house. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ...they should fall through the Duchess' life, the nature of her gift was such that she or any from her might set them for 19 years, not diminishing the rental, though she should not live that space. Pollock is to bear all the skaith and loss incident to land, and to pay public burdens, except about 3 or 4000 mk. which he has subfermed, for the full duty correspondent to the said 5500 lb. He says the Nishet pays but 250 mks. of the said duty, and is well worth 600 mks., and the tack falls within 5 years. October 20, 1679.--My father taking up the last of his sklait-coal silver for that year, they being all sold, he found the sum of it to amount to 333. 19. 0. Then he entered in compt with his Hill man anent the number of the Cinner-coals, to see if the sklait-coals had holden out proportionally, for they are always thought to be equal in number. So they compted near 1100 load of Ciner-coal sold and led home that year; which, compting the sklait-coal at 10s. the load (as they sell), should have made the sum of their price amount to upwards of 500 lb. instead of the foresaid 333. 19. 0. But, considering the mixing sklait-coal in the hutch with the Ciner (which the coal-hewers have a great game of, because their wage is regulated by the number of Ciner coal, and not of sklait coal), and stealing, and other occasions of diminution, he said he was used never to expect more but a hutch and a half of sklait-coal for a load, being 2 hutches of Ciner. But yet the above written is less, being scarce two for three, whereas that is three for four. In June and July 1680 I made two voyages to Edinburgh upon CuninghameheicTs businesse, and seeing they hold me in nothing at home (as they did when I ordinarly resided ther with my wife), I ought to have the...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diary and General Expenditure Book of William Cunningham of Craigends: Commissioner to the Convention of Estates and Member of Parliament for Renfrewshire; Kept Chiefly From 1673 to 1680 The country was overrun with beggars and thieves, who are significantly described in the quaint language of the old statutes as sorners and sturdy beggars. Fletcher states that there were in Scotland at the very time when this Renfrewshire diary was written persons begging from door to door, and extorting sustenance by violence. The number may be exag gerated, but it is certain that in Cuningham's day pauperism was one of the great problems which exercised the Scottish Parliament. In 1661 an Act was passed for the establishment of manufactories in order to afford employment, and by another in 1663 the manufacturers were empowered to seize all vaga bonds and idle persons and make them work for a space, to the extent of eleven years, giving them meat and clothes only. In 1679 another Act authorised all manufacturers 'to seize and apprehend any vagabonds who shall be found begging, or who, being masterless or out of service, have not wherewith to maintain themselves by their own means and work, and to employ them for their own service as they Shall see fit.' The misfortune was that the manufacturers were very few and the beggars very many, so that the provision did not meet the case, and the evil continued, to the cost and sorrow of the diarist and others of his day.

Excerpt: ...his charges West, which I payed him out of 3 lb. my wife was owing me. Oct 1679.--Upon reckoning made up by myself how much I have been at home since my first going to reside in Edinburgh at Hallowday 1675, And what I have payed my mother for my diet these times, I find I was ten days at home that Yuill, as also about eight weeks in the Spring vaicance 1676, for which I offered her money, but she would not take it, saying she would be als chargeable to me another way, so I payed nothing for these two times, but only my fowlls 1675, she getting the worth of 13. 07. 4., and I keeped my sister Rebecca the haill next winter session in Edinburgh, which was all I payed for myself and my man these two times. Then my wife and all came home in the next vaicance, 1676, and stayd about 10 weeks, for which I payd her sufficiently, viz. 100 M. and 10 bolls victuall. Then I was at home myself with my man 14 days at Yuill, other 14 days next March, 1677, about 24 days in May and June, and 20 days in Ocf--in all 72 days, or 10 weeks--for which I payd my cheese 1676, inde 16 lb., my fowlls 1676 at 17 lbs. 7s., and ane boll meall, 4 lb. In all 37 lb. 7s. Then I was at home, myself and man, ten days in SwaP 1678, and about 5 weeks in May and June, for which I payed nothing but my fowlls 1677, at 14. 12. 8. But my coming in Janry was upon call to my sister's wedding. And for times I have been at home since, I have dewly payed at 20 lb. a month for myself and man, and als much for my wife and her woman; so that, laying all together, I will not be owing much on this account. In March last, 1679, my wife, finding Richard's jewell, or locket of diamonds, aselling, and that it was immediately to be given to William Law, goldsmith, for 22 lb. sterling, she agreed...
