REPORT OF THE THIRTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY
THE THIRTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY was held on TUESDAY, November
21, 1899, in Dowell's Rooms, George Street, Edinburgh,--Emeritus Professor
MASSON in the chair.
The HON. SECRETARY read the Report of the Council, as follows:--
During the past year the Society has lost twenty members, ten by death and
ten by resignation. When the vacancies are filled up there will remain
seventy names on the list of candidates for admission. In addition to the
400 individual members of the Society there are now 64 Public Libraries
subscribing for the Society's publications.
The Council particularly desire to express their regret at the death of the
Rev. Dr. Alexander Mitchell, formerly Professor of Ecclesiastical History
at St. Andrews University, and of the Rev. A.W. Cornelius Hallen. From the
foundation of the Society, Dr. Mitchell had been a corresponding member of
the Council. He took a great interest in the Society's work, and, in
conjunction with the Rev. Dr. Christie, edited for us two volumes of _The
Records of the Commissions of the General Assembly of the Years_ 1646-
49. Mr. Hallen was also an active member of the Council for many years, and
edited _The Account Book of Sir John Foulis of Ravelston_.
The Society's publications belonging to the issue of the past year, viz.,
Mr. Ferguson's first volume of _Papers Illustrating the History of the
Scots Brigade_, and Mr. Firth's volume on _Scotland and the
Protectorate_, have been for some months in the hands of members. But
members for this year, 1898-99, are to be congratulated on their good
fortune in receiving, in addition to the ordinary issue of the Society, two
other volumes as a gift. It will be remembered that at our last Annual
Meeting Mr. Balfour Paul announced on behalf of the trustees of the late
Sir William Fraser, K.C.B., that, acting on the terms of the trust, they
were prepared to print and present to members on the roll for the year
1898-99, at least one, and perhaps two volumes of documents having the
special object of illustrating the family history of Scotland. The work
then suggested, and subsequently determined upon, was the Macfarlane
Genealogical Collections relating to families in Scotland, MSS. in the
Advocates' Library, now passing through the press in two volumes, under the
editorial care of Mr. J.T. Clark, the Keeper of the Library. The whole of
the first volume and the greater part of the second are already in type.
The Council, who very highly appreciate this welcome donation, desire to
convey to the trustees the cordial thanks of the Society for their share in
the presentation.
The following are the publications assigned to the coming year, 1899-1900:
(1.) The second volume of the _Scots Brigade_ which is already
printed, bound, and ready for issue.
(2.) _The Journal of a Foreign Tour in 1665 and 1666_, and portions of
other Journals, by Sir John Lauder, Lord Fountainhall, edited by Mr. Donald
Crawford, Sheriff of Aberdeen, Kincardine and Banff. The greater part of
this book also is in type.
(3.) _Dispatches of the Papal Envoys to Queen Mary during her reign in
Scotland_, edited by the Rev. J. Hungerford Pollen, S.J. The editor
expects to send his manuscripts to the printer in January next.
Several new works have been proposed and provisionally accepted by the
Council. Dr. J.H. Wallace-James offers a collection of Charters and
Documents of the Grey Friars of Haddington and of the Cistercian Nunnery of
Haddington. They will be the more welcome, as the desire has been
frequently expressed that the Society should deal more fully with the
period preceding the Reformation.
Mr. Firth has suggested the publication of certain unedited or imperfectly
edited papers concerning the _Negotiations for the Union of England and
Scotland in_ 1651-1653, and Mr. C. Sandford Terry of Aberdeen has kindly
consented to edit them.
The three retiring members of Council are Dr. Hume Brown, Mr. G.W.
Prothero, and Mr. Balfour Paul. The Council propose that Mr. Prothero
should be removed to the list of corresponding members, that Dr. Hume Brown
and Mr. Balfour Paul be re-elected, and that Mr. John Scott, C.B., be
appointed to the Council in the place of Mr. Prothero.
The Accounts of the Hon. Treasurer show that there was a balance in
November 1898 of L172, 12s. 9d., and that the income for the year 1898-99
was L521, 15s. 5d. The expenditure for this same year was L438, 14s. 1d.,
leaving a balance in favour of the Society of L255, 14s. 1d.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the Report, which, he said, was
very satisfactory, said that in the first place they had kept their
promises and arrangements in the past year, and, in the second place,
they had a very good bill of fare for the current year, even if there
were nothing additional to their programme as already published. The
books that had been announced as forthcoming were just the kind of books
that it was proper the Society should produce. But, in addition, they
would see there was forthcoming a very important publication which had
come to them out of the ordinary run. The late Sir William Fraser, in
addition to his other important bequests, which would for the future
affect the literature of Scottish history, gave power to his trustees
that they might, if they saw occasion, employ a certain portion of his
funds on some specific publications of the nature of those materials in
which he had been spending his life. The result had been that the
trustees, chiefly he believed by the advice of their Lyon King of Arms,
Mr. Balfour Paul, had offered as a gift to this Society those very
important genealogical documents, the Macfarlane documents, which had
been lying in the Advocates' Library, and to which a great many people
at various times had been referring, to such an extent that he believed
Mr. Clark, the librarian of the Advocates' Library, had been almost
incommoded by the number of such applications. Henceforth this would not
be the case, as the Macfarlane genealogical documents were to be
published under the editorship of Mr. Clark. That was a windfall for
which he had no doubt all the members of the Society would be thankful,
and when he moved the adoption of the report he meant specially to
propose their adoption of a hearty vote of thanks to the trustees of Sir
William Fraser.
Professor MASSON then alluded to the proposal of Mr. C. Stanford Terry
to produce the silent records relating to the union of Scotland with
England in the years 1651 to 1653. That was a portion of Scottish
history that had been almost forgotten, but a very important and
interesting portion of Scottish history it was. In 1651, after the
battle of Dunbar, and after Cromwell's occupation of Scotland, and after
he had gone back to England and had left Monk in charge in Scotland,
with about eight thousand Englishmen in Scotland, distributed in
garrisons here and there, it occurred to the Long Parliament of England,
then masters of affairs in Great Britain, that there ought to be an
incorporating union of Scotland with the English Commonwealth. That
proposal came before the Long Parliament in October 1651. It was agreed
upon, by way of declaration, that it might be very desirable, and a
committee of eight members of the Long Parliament was appointed to
negotiate in the matter. They came to Scotland, and there was a kind of
convention, a _quasi_ Scottish Parliament, held at Dalkeith, where
the matter was discussed. Of course, it was a very serious matter,
giving rise to various feelings. To part with the old Scottish
nationality was a prospect that had to be faced with regret. To this
Parliament the Commissioners proposed what was called the Tender, or an
offer of incorporating union. The variety of elements in Scotland--
Royalists, Presbyterians, Independents--in the main said that they must
yield, although they were reluctant. Even those who were most in
sympathy with the English Commonwealth politically shrank for a while,
and they tried whether the Long Parliament might not accept a kind of
compromise, whether Scotland might not be erected into a little
independent Republic allied to the English Commonwealth or Republic. But
at last all these feelings gave way, and the English Commissioners were
able to report before the end of the year, or in January--what we should
now call 1652, but then called 1651--that twenty of the Scottish shires
out of thirty-five had accepted the Tender, and that almost all the
burghs had accepted it, Edinburgh and Aberdeen and all the chief burghs
--Glasgow being the sole outstanding one. At last, however, Glasgow, on
thinking over the thing, agreed, and the consequence was that in April
1652 the Act incorporating Scotland with the English Commonwealth passed
the first and second readings in the Long Parliament. From April 1652
Scotland was, they might say, united with England, and in the
Protectorate Parliaments, in Cromwell's first and second Parliaments,
there were thirty members from Scotland sitting at Westminster with the
English members, and so through the protectorate of his son Richard, and
it was not till the Restoration that there came the rebound. Then the
order universally was: 'As you were,' and a period of Scottish history
was sponged out, so much so that they had forgotten it, and many of them
rather regretted it. At all events, it was a very important period of
Scottish history, and the proposed publication will give us flashes of
light into the feelings and the state of the country between 1652 and
1660.
Proceeding, Professor MASSON said the Society had kept strictly to their
announcements, and they had already contributed a great many
publications, which, at all events, had proved, and were proving, new
materials for the history of Scotland, giving new conceptions of that
history. They would observe in the first place how the publications had
been dotted in respect of dates, some of them comparatively recent,
others going far back. They would observe, in the second place, that the
documents had been of almost all kinds--all those kinds that were of
historical value; all those that really pertained to the history of
Scotland--that was to say, the history of that little community which,
with a small population, they named Scotland. There were various
theories and conceptions of history. The main and common and the capital
conception of the day was to give the story of the succession of events
of all kinds. In that respect Scottish history, though the history of a
small nation, would compete in interest with the history of any nation
that had ever been. Small, but the variety, the intensity of the life,
the changes, the vicissitudes, the picturesque incidents, no history
could compete for that kind of interest with the history of that little
torrent that had flowed through such a rocky, narrow bed. Crimes or
illegalities got easily into books, and this was a little unfortunate,
because people dwelt on such crimes and illegalities as constituting
history. But they did not. No more would the digest of the trials of
their Police Courts and of their chief Courts. They figured, of course,
in history, but there ought to be a caution against allowing too great a
proportion of those records of crimes and illegalities to affect their
views. Then there was a notion of history very much in favour with their
scholars at present, that it should consist merely of a narrative of the
actions of the Government and the formation of institutions--what they
should call constitutional history. There had been a school of
historical writers of late who would almost confine history to that
record--nothing else was proper history, and the consequence was that
the constitution of history was in the publication of documents and in
the changes in the manner of government. That was an essential and a
very important part of history, but by itself it would be a very dreich
kind of history. History was the authentic record of whatever happened
in the world, and Scottish history of whatever had happened in the
Scottish world. If he had been told that on a certain date King James
V., the Red Fox, rode over Cramond Bridge with five horsemen, one of
them on a white horse, they might say what use was it to him to know
that, but he did want to know it and have that picture in his mind. It
was a piece of history, and any one who was bereft of interest in that
sort of thing--however little use it might be turned to--was bereft of
the historical faculty. Then there was a conception of history that it
should consist in pictures of the generation, of the people, how they
were housed, how they were fed, and so on. That was a capital notion.
But he was not sure that there were not certain overdoings of that
notion. In the first place, they would observe that they must take a
succession of generations in order to accomplish that descriptive
history of the state of Scotland at one time, then at another, then at a
third, and so on. A description at one time would not apply to the
society of Scotland at another.
'Quhan Alysander, oure Kyng, was deid,
Quhan Scotland led in luve and le,
Awa' wes sons of ail and brede,
Of wyne and wax, of gamyn and glee.'
That was to say, it was a tradition before that time that there was
abundance and even luxury in Scotland. There had been a tendency in
history of late to dwell on the poverty and squalor of Scotland in
comparison with other countries--all that should be produced, and made
perfectly conceivable--and then also to dwell on the records of kirk-
sessions and presbyteries, showing the state of morality in Scotland.
All that it was desirable should be produced in abundance if they were
not wrongly construed--but they were apt to be. A notion had arisen what
a comical country Scotland must have been with its Shorter Catechism,
and its presbytery records, and its miserable food, and so on. That was
a wrong notion, and ought to be dismissed, because if they thought of it
the life of a community consisted in how it felt, how it acted. In those
days of poverty and squalor of external surroundings there were as good
men, as brave men, and as good women as there were in Scotland now. And
at all events, if there was anything in Scotland now, any power in the
world, it had sprung from these progenitors. They must have some
corrective for an exaggeration of that notion, which was very natural.
One was biography. They would be surprised if they were to know how many
biographies there might be along the course of Scottish history, say
from the Reformation. If they fastened on a single individual, and told
the story of his life, they not only told the story of his community in
a very interesting manner, but they got straight to some of those faults
which they were apt to be impressed by if they gazed vaguely at the
community. Dr. Hume Brown had written an admirable summary of the
history of Scotland, but he had contributed to the history of Scotland
in another way by his two biographies of Buchanan and Knox, and
especially by his biography of Buchanan. Another corrective was
literature. There had been no sufficient perception of how literature
might illustrate history; and why should it not if their aim was to
recover the past mind of Scotland? Every song, every fiction--was not
that a transmitted piece of the very mind that they wanted to
investigate? Here was matter already at their hand. Then, in a similar
way, if a noble thought, if a fine feeling, was in any way expressed in
verse or in prose, that came out of some moment or moments in the mind
of some individual, and it must have corresponded and been in sympathy
with the community in which it was expressed. Nothing noble had come out
of any man at any one time, but that man, in the way of expression of
literature, must have had a constituency of people who felt as he felt.
Unfortunately there was a long gap in what we called the finer history
of Scotland from the time of the Reformation to Allan Ramsay--in
literature of certain kinds. There were muses in those days, but they
were muses of ecclesiastical and political controversy--very grim muses,
but still they were muses. But from Allan Ramsay's time to this, to
study the history of the literature was to know more of the history of
the country than we would otherwise. David Hume, Adam Smith, Burns,
Scott--all these men were born and bred in Scotland so poor and so
squalid that we should say we would not belong to it now. Nobody was
asking us to belong to it. But these men, their roots were in a soil
capable of sustaining their genius and of pouring into their works those
things in the way of thought and feeling that delighted us now, and that
were our pride throughout the world.
Mr. D.W. KEMP seconded the adoption of the Report, which was agreed to.
The vacancies in the Council were filled by the re-election of Dr. Hume
Brown and Mr. Balfour Paul, and the election of Mr. John Scott, C.B., in
room of Mr. G.W. Prothero.
In reply to Mr. James Bruce, W.S., Dr. LAW said that the death of Dr.
Mitchell had caused some delay in the preparation of the third volume of
the Records of the General Assembly, but it had already been transcribed
for the printer.
A vote of thanks to Professor Masson concluded the proceedings.
