ABERDEEN PRINTED BY WILLIAM BENNETT.

[blocks in formation]

Excerpt from the Report by the Council of the Spalding Club, to the eighth annual
general meeting of the members, held at Aberdeen, on Tuesday the twenty-
second day of December, 1846.

A volume of ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE TOPOGRAPHY AND ANTIQUITIES OF THE SHIRES of Aberdeen and BANFF, edited by JOSEPH ROBERTSON, esquire, has been for some time at press, and but for accidental circumstances which hindered the printer from fulfilling his engagement, would have been finished before this period. It will be issued early in the year 1847.

The materials placed at the Editor's disposal, chiefly from the charter-rooms of ancient families within the two counties, have so far exceeded expectation, that it has been found necessary to divide the work into Three Volumes. The Second of these, containing the beginning of the Text, will appear first; the Third, giving the conclusion of the Text, the Appendix, and a copious Index (as well to this work as to the COLLECTIONS FOR A HISTORY OF THE SHIRES OF ABERDEEN AND BANFF), will appear next; and the First volume, occupied with a lengthened Preface, and its documentary illustrations, will be delivered last of all.
