At a Meeting of the Committee of the BANNATYNE CLUB, held

at Edinburgh, on Monday the 10th of April 1848

THE SECRETARY stated, that the HISTORICAL NOTICES selected from the Manuscripts of Lord Fountainhall, were now completed to the year 1688, and extended to nearly 900 pages; and he requested the opinion of the Committee, whether this might not form a suitable termination to the Work; the more so, as the Manuscript Collections of a later date consist almost wholly of Reports of Decisions which have already been printed. THE COMMITTEE approved of this suggestion, and

RESOLVED, That the HISTORICAL NOTICES OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS IN SCOTLAND, selected from the Manuscripts of SIR JOHN LAUDER OF FOUNTAINHALL, and edited by the SECRETARY, be forthwith completed in two volumes, with an Index of Names, and circulated among the Members of the Club.

Extracted from the Minutes,

DAVID LAING, SECRETARY.
