“The future Historians of Scotland will be very fortunate if many parts of their 
materials are so carefully worked up for them and set before them in so complete 
and taking a form.”—Athenewm. 
“When we say that these two volumes contain more than 770 records, of which 
more than 550 have never been printed before, and that they are illustrated by a 
series of Plates, by the autotype process, of the coins themselves, the reader may 
judge for himself of the learning, as well as the pains, bestowed on them both by 
the Author and the Publisher.” —Times. 
‘The most handsome and complete Work of the kind which has ever been pub. 
lished in this country.” —Numismatic Chronicle, Pt. IV., 1876. 
*“We have in these Records of the Coinage of Scotland, not the production of a 
dilettante, but of a real student, who, with rare pains and the most scholarly dili- 
gence, has set to work and collected into two massive volumes a complete history 
of the coinage of Scotland, so far as it can be gathered from the ancient records.”

PATRICK—Early Records relating to Mining in Scotland: 
Collected by R. W. Cocuran-Patrick. Demy 4to, 31s. 6d. 
*‘The documents contained in the body of the work are given without altera- 
tion or abridgment, and the introduction is written with ability and judgment, 
presenting a clear and concise outline of the earlier history of the Mining Industries 
of Scotland.”—Scotsman. 
“The documents . . . comprise a great deal that is very curious, and no less 
that will be important to the historian in treating of the origin of one of the most 
important branches of the natural industry.”—Daily News. 
Such a book . . . revealing as it does the first developments of an industry 
which has become the mainspring of the national prosperity, ought to be specially 
interesting to all patriotic Scotchmen.”—Saturday Review. 
Popular Genealogists; 
Or, the Art of Pedigree-making. Crown 8vo, 4s. 
“We have here an agreeable little treatise of a hundred pages, from an anony- 
mous but evidently competent hand, on the ludicrous and fraudulent sides of 
genealogy. The subject has a serious and important historical character, when 
regarded from the point of view of the authors of The Governing Families of 
England. But it is rich in the materials of comedy also. 
“The first case selected by the writer before us is one which has often excited 
our mirth by the very completeness of its unrivalled absurdity. Nobody can turn 
over the popular genealogical books of our day without dropping on a family 
ealled Coulthart of Coulthart, Collyn, and Ashton-under-Lyne. The pedigree given 
makes the house beyond all question the oldest in Europe. Neither the Bourbons 
nor Her Majesty’s family can be satisfactorily carried beyond the ninth century, 
whereas the Coultharts were by that time an old and distinguished house. 
“We are glad to see such a step taken in the good work as the publication of the 
essay which has suggested this article, and which we commend to those who want 
a bit of instructive and amusing reading.” —Pall Mall Gazette.,
