Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of New and Old Aberdeen If the ancient inhabitants of Aberdeen had been de scended from a tribe of Caledonians, most naturally they would have located themselves at the mouth of a river such as the Dee or the Don, well sheltered by the forest of the Stocket, where they could either prosecute the fishing, both in the river or in the sea; and ultimately carry on commercial pursuits: or, if they were after wards reinforced or superseded by an immigration of people from the opposite continent, as the language and names of the ancient citizens would indicate, they natur ally would be directed to such a landing place, where the mouth of a river breaks the line of the coast, and there establish their abode. From whatever source, however, the earliest inhabitants may have been drawn, it is probable that such were the inducements that led to the foundation of Aberdeen, and our reasoning would naturally lead to the conclusion that the original portion of the town would be that which lay nearest to the sea, and that this would be followed by the western and northern portions of the town on the higher ground, as the habitations of the artizan and merchant class, who would gradually arise to Supply the wants of their neigh bours, and carry on trade and exchange with other places.

Download or read book Aberdeen written by William Robbie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aberdeen: Its History and Tradition, With Notices of Some Eminent Aberdonians It will thus be seen that no book has been published for more than half a century purporting to deal with the history of Aberdeen as a whole, and that the books published before then, besides being of old date, have become scarce, and almost unattainable. The consequence is that, even in this reading age, when information of all kinds is so widely dis seminated, there is good reason to think that the earlier history of Aberdeen is practically unknown to the great majority of the citizens - a circumstance due, no doubt, to the fact that no handy and moderately priced book, dealing with the subject in anything like a complete form, is of easy access. It was the belief that such a. Book was really wanted that suggested the publication of this volume, giving, in reasonably small compass for so wide a sub jcet, and as far as possible in chronological order, an outline of the leading events in the history of Aberdeen from the earliest times down to the present day. The subject is one that must always have a peculiar interest for Aberdonians, whether at home or abroad, and what the author has aimed at has been to make the book such that after perusing it the reader should lay it down with something like a just and adequate conception of the history and progress of the city. Whether he has succeeded in this must be left to the judgment of those into whose hands the book may fall.

Download or read book The History of Aberdeen Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Walter Thom and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Aberdeen, Vol. 1 of 2 The utility of topographical history is generally acknowledge. It is composed chiefly of local facts, and minute details relative to men and manners, which form valuable materials for the antiquary and national historian. But the authors of such works can lay little claim to that merit which is the basis of literary reputation, as their labours are of an humble cast, and require only the exertion of industry. Without presuming, therefore, to solicit any higher title than that of a collector and compiler, the writer of these volumes only expects, that his pretensions to impartiality, both as to his statements and deductions, will not be disputed. He can assure the public, that he has not been in any respect influenced by party prejudices; and while he has avoided whatever might prove a just ground of offence, he has manifested no desire to court the favour of those in power. He is aware that candour and impartiality are the first qualifications of an author; and he trusts that the pages of this work will evince his adherence to these principles.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of Old Aberdeen, 1157-1891, Vol. 1 The religious and educational interests centred in the Old Town have in a measure thrust the civil institutions and life of the people into the background, and though these latter may not relatively compare in importance with the two former, yet the life within the Bishop's burgh, far from being uninteresting and uninstructive, is capable Of adding much to our knowledge of the conditions of society in a past age, and of setting before us old customs and usages not now in practice. The almost perfect freedom exercised by the burgesses in all their affairs during the period covered by the extant minutes of the Council is a noteworthy fact. With few exceptions the minutes of the Town Council might be those Of any Royal Burgh, so free were the burghal institutions from the control of the Bishop as lord superior.
