MEMORANDUM REGARDING THE REPRINTING OF 



VOL. I OF THE ''HISTORY OF THE BERWICKSHIRE 



NATURALISTS' CLUB.'' 



In concluding the re-productiou of the first volume of the Club's 

 Proceedings, I have to state that it is an exact reprint of the original, 

 press errors excepted. Two of the original wood-cuts and one of the 

 plates were supplied by Mrs Barwell Carter ; two plates and one cut 

 have been re-engraved. The reprint is from my own and the Club's 

 copies of the Proceedings, and the press was corrected from Dr 

 Johnston's own copy. 



For many years there had been a wish entertained by those whose 

 sets of the Proceedings were deficient, to have a copy of the voliune ; 

 and at the Jubilee Meeting, the Club sanctioned a reprint, provided 

 that it was undertaken under my supervision. The first attempt 

 failed ; and a second, where a single member liberally proposed to 

 guarantee the greater share of the expense was never brought to a 

 conclusion ; when Mr George Muirhead took a more business view of 

 the situation, and by means of subscriptions has at last raised the 

 requisite funds. 



The reprint is from a new fount of type, and the printer has 

 endeavoured to make it uniform with the other volumes. The im- 

 pression is limited to 200 copies. I hope it will prove satisfactory 

 to all concerned. A List of Subscribers is appended.
