PREFACE. 


The    Commissariot    of  Lauder    was    co-extensive   with   the    County    of

The  Register  of  Testaments  is  contained  in  ten  volumes,  viz. — 

1.  1561  to  23rd  July  1566. 

I  A.  (II)  24th  June  1627      to  September  1634. 

2.  1 6th  September  1634  to  12th  January  1641  and

Volume  Ia.  has  been  deHberately  destroyed  some  time  previous  to  its 
transmission  to  ihe  Lord  Register's  Department,  the  pages  having  been  cut 
out  about  an  inch  from  the  binding,  so  that  only  a  small  part  of  the  Testa- 
ments now  remains,  in  many  cases  only  the  rubric.  The  names  of  many 
of  these  Testaments  are  now  lost,  and  of  others  only  fragments  remain. 
These,  as  far  as  it  has  been  found  possible  to  recover  them,  have  been 
included  in  an  Appendix  at  the  end  of  the  General  Index, 

In  addition  to  the  above  volumes  there  are  three  bundles  of  unrecorded 
Testaments  covering  the  period  from  1680  to  1822,  and  a  portfolio  of 
Scroll  Testaments  for  the  years  1652  to  1653.  These  relating  to  the  period 
before  1800  have  been  included  in  this  Index,  and  are  indicated  by  T. 
and  S.  T. 

The  other  Records  preserved  in  the  Register  House  comprise — 

Record  of  Inventories,  1807  to  1823  with  Index.
