Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Records of the Sheriff Court of Aberdeenshire, Vol. 3: Records, 1642-1660, With Supplementary Lists of Officials, 1660-1907, and Index to Volumes I., II., III
To the Tables of Contents, Extracts and Notes on Officials previous to 1660, for which space could not be found in Vol. II there has been added, at the suggestion of the Secretary of the Club, a Supplementary List of Officials down to the present date. In compiling that List, more especially in those portions dealing with the second half of the 17th century, the Editor had valuable help from Dr. J. Maitland Thomson, Advocate, late Curator of the Historical Department of h.m. Register House, which he welcomes this Opportunity to thankfully acknowledge.
The exceptionally laborious task of preparing the Index to all three volumes, which forms the greater part of the present volume, has been entrusted to Miss Jean E. Kennedy. The admirable manner in which she did similar work for the volume, issued by the Club, relating to the Scots Colleges, and for Mr. P. J. Anderson's recent Quatercentenary Studies, may be taken as a guarantee for the completeness, accuracy and reliability of her contribution to the present work.
To Messrs. Taylor Henderson, the Printers of these volumes, the Editor gives most hearty thanks. The beauty and excellence of the printing speak for themselves, but only the writer can Speak of the painstaking skill in proof reading, and of the unvarying courtesy and kindly patience which he has at all times experienced at their hands, and which he will ever grate fully remember.
