THE CLAN CAMPBELL. Abstracts of Entries relating to
Campbells in the Sheriff Court Books of Argyll at Inveraray. Prepared
and edited by Rev. Henry Paton. Pp. viii, 312. Edinburgh : Otto Schulze
& Co.
'THIS volume,' says the introduction, is the first of
a series which it is intended to publish from the large collection of
Campbell information gathered from public and private record sources by
Sir Duncan Campbell of Barcaldine and Glenure, Baronet, for the purpose
of providing materials for the construction of accurate and reliable
memoirs of the various branches of the Clan Campbell.' Planned by
Carrick Pursuivant and executed by the expert hand of Mr. Paton, the
collection embraces about 2000 bonds, agreements, contracts, etc.,
between the years 1689 and 1784. The index of persons contains forty-six
solid columns of Campbells, and the book is, for all sorts and
conditions of the clan, treasure-trove for their pedigrees, lands,
occupations, and connexions. It is a capital beginning of a Campbell
Calendar, bound in the heraldic or and sable of Argyll.
