Reading original documents is the only way to achieve a sound basis
in historical studies and to acquire a true perspective on cultural
evolution. Much modern research has been applied to Scotland's
history, but until this volume there has been no comprehensive
study of the country's handwriting for nearly 250 years. The main
body of this book consists of facsimile texts, each facing a
detailed transcript and commentary. The historical background of
handwriting usage is surveyed in the introduction, with emphasis on
changing fashions. There is also guidance on how to deal with early
language and abbreviations. The principal aim is to assist research
students, local historians, genealogists and calligraphers in their
studies; but this work also recovers a lost chapter in the history
of Scottish studies.
