Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed as an aid to researchers wishing to find information on inhabitants of Arbroath during the 17th and 18th centuries. It is based overwhelmingly on primary sources, such as the High Court of the Admiralty, Customs and Excise Records, Exchequer Records, the Register of Deeds of the Court of Session, Burgh Records, Port Books, Services of Heirs, and monumental inscriptions, variously located in the National Archives of Scotland (Edinburgh) and the Angus Archives at Restenneth. Though by no means an exhaustive list of the inhabitants of Arbroath, the persons identified here are fully referenced and should provide interesting material for those researching their family histories. Typically, the entries found here identify inhabitants by their full name, occupation, a date, and the source. In some cases we are also given the names of spouses and other relatives, and, in the case of seamen, the names of their vessels and their destinations in the New World. In all, Dr. Dobson cites over 1,500 persons based in Arbroath between 1660 and 1799.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing studies of early modern Scotland tend to focus on the crown, the nobility and the church. Yet, from the sixteenth century, a unique national representative assembly of the towns, the Convention of Burghs, provides an insight into the activities of another key group in society. Meeting at least once a year, the Convention consisted of representatives from every parliamentary burgh, and was responsible for apportioning taxation, settling disputes between members, regulating weights and measures, negotiating with the crown on issues of concern to the merchant community. The Convention's role in relation to parliament was particularly significant, for it regulated urban representation, admitted new burghs to parliament, and co-ordinated and oversaw the conduct of the burgess estate in parliament. In this, the first full-length study of the burghs and parliament in Scotland, the influence of this institution is fully analysed over a one hundred year period. Drawing extensively on local and national sources, this book sheds new light upon the way in which parliament acted as a point of contact, a place where legislative business was done, relationships formed and status affirmed. The interactions between centre and localities, and between urban and rural elites are prominent themes, as is Edinburgh's position as the leading burgh and the host of parliament. The study builds upon existing scholarship to place Scotland within the wider British and European context and argues that the Scottish parliament was a distinctive and effective institution which was responsive to the needs of the burghs both collectively and individually.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an innovative, corpus-driven approach to historical legal discourse. It is the first monograph to examine textual standardization patterns in legal and administrative texts on the basis of lexical bundles, drawing on a comprehensive corpus of medieval and early modern legal texts. The book's focus is on legal language in Scotland, where law--with its own nomenclature and its own repertoire of discourse features--was shaped and marked by the concomitant standardizing of the vernacular language, Scots, a sister language to the English of the day. Joanna Kopaczyk's study is based on a unique combination of two methodological frameworks: a rigorous corpus-driven data analysis and a pragmaphilological, context-sensitive qualitative interpretation of the findings. Providing the reader with a rich socio-historical background of legal discourse in medieval and early modern Scottish burghs, Kopaczyk traces the links between orality, community, and law, which are reflected in discourse features and linguistic standardization of legal and administrative texts. In this context, the book also revisits important ingredients of legal language, such as binomials or performatives. Kopaczyk's study is grounded in the functional approach to language and pays particular attention to referential, interpersonal, and textual functions of lexical bundles in the texts. It also establishes a connection between the structure and function of the recurrent patterns, and paves the way for the employment of new methodologies in historical discourse analysis.

Book excerpt: The ancient Scottish burgh with its bustling high street, the bellman and bailies, the criminals in the jougs, the laird and the merchants, baxters and cordiners is now sadly lost. Or is it? The people and the colour of that bygone age are no longer there but many buildings and other relics do survive and in this book the author shows how to rediscover those burghs of the past, how to spot their remains behind the façade of modern life. It is a guide not only to streets and homes of folk 300 years ago but to the people themselves—their food, their clothing, their jobs, their pastimes, their superstitions, their illness—their complete way of life.
