PREFACE 

The Register of the Burgesses of the Burgh of the Canongate has 
been compiled from a Book of Records of the Ancient Privileges 
of the Canongate and from the Council Books of the Burgh which 
record the Acts and Statutes of the Bailies of the Canongate, 
Admission of Burgesses, Constables and Officers of Train Bands, 
and Copies of Charters. 

An earlier volume dated from ist October 1561 to 23rd October 
1588 is missing, but extracts from it are to be found in the printed 
volume "Miscellany of the Maitland Club," vol. ii. There must 
also have been a volume from the latter date until the 27th June 
1622 when the first admission of a burgess is recorded in this 
Register. 

All that has been found for the years between 5th September 
1677 and 5th October 1691 is a fragment of a page with the names 
of ten burgesses entered in August and September 1682. 

Contractions used : — 

B. — burgess. by r. of — by right of. 

Dec. — deceased. w. — wife. 

Dau. — daughter. yr. — younger. 
Pr. — apprentice. 

If gratis is not mentioned, or a special reason is not given, the 
admission of burgess-ship is by purchase.
