This publication was a monthly one and these volumes contain 6 monthly issues. What is interesting about this publication is firstly that it was started in 1817. This is a period in Scottish history where the Scots were making huge progress. We were making great strides in literacy, inventions, emigration, manufacturing and scientific discoveries. The whole world was at our feet and in this time frame Scots were sought after as Pioneers to help build the new world. Most Scots were well versed in the three R's but they also were engaged at the very forefront of industrial endeavor and thus made ideal emigrants to the new world.
This magazine thus shows what we Scots were interested in at this important time in our history and the breadth of scope of this publication shows where out interests lay. In here you'll find poems and stories but also commentary on Scientific discoveries, proceedings of Parliament, commentary on countries of the world including Europe, North America, etc. You'll find weather information, comments on agriculture, and even births, marriages and deaths. Book reviews, Medical reports, foreign intelligence, commercial reports, and also historical articles.
The publication ceased in 1980.
Due to the Births, Marriages and Deaths as well as announcements of appointments these volumes may also be a good source of genealogy information.
