Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides the most authentic and complete history of the Royal Burghs of Scotland, compiled for the English reader. It is a translation of various reports taken between 1693 and 1793, giving an account of the internal government of the burghs, as well as their revenues, debts, dilapidated properties, taxes, elections, and more. Beginning with the ancient constitutions and modes of electing magistrates and common councils, the reports discuss the present mode of election, whether taxes have been imposed without the authority of Parliament, the amount of annual revenues, and whether the lands and other heritable property of the burghs have been alienated by the magistrates and common councils, and in what manner. The reports meticulously describe the state of the burghs at the time, including debts contracted and common property dilapidated, providing a fascinating glimpse into the management and challenges faced by these communities in the 17th and 18th centuries. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
