A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present volume consists of two Treatises relative to the History of the Reign of James the First, King of Scotland. The first of these pieces is generally ascribed to the celebrated William Elphinston, Bishop of A berdeen. We are informed by Hector Boethius, in his Dedicatory Epistle addressed to James the Fifth, that this prelate carefully investigated the history of his country; and it has hitherto been believed, upon the concurrent testimony of almost every writer of literary history, that the only copy of his Scotorum Chronicon, which has descended to our times, is contained in the Fairfax Collection of Manuscripts, preserved in the Bodleian Library. The Fairfax Manuscript, No. 8, is a small folio volume, written about the end of the fifteenth century, upon paper and vellum, in double columns, each consisting of forty lines. It Said to have been born in Glasgow in 1437, to have been successively Bishop of Ross and A berdeen, and Chancellor of Scotland. According to the obituary of Glasgow, he died 25th October 1514, aged 77 (K eith, p. 119), during the time that an attempt was made by James V. to place him in the Archiepiscopal See of St A ndrews.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
