In 1699 an agreement as to the rebuilding of Blackfriars church, which had been destroyed by fire in 1670, was effected between the magistrates and council and the University. In 1700 an arrangement was come to between Glasgow and Dumbarton, under which the long continued disputes between the two burghs as to their respective rights and interests in the Clyde were settled for a the; and the contract then entered into was ratified by Parliament in the following year. In that year also Parliament continued to Glasgow the imposition authorised by the act of 1693.
The leading contents thus briefly referred to are followed by an Abstract of 431 Charters and Documcnts relating to the period from 1649 to 1701. But the Appendix matter, which has been exhumed by Mr. Renwick, ex tends over 121 additional documents, and is practically a collection of original matter illustrative of the ancient history of the city. Lists of the archbishop: from the Restoration till the Abolition of Episcopacy, 1661-89, of the ministers of Glasgow from 1649 till 1707, and of the Provosts of the city for the same period, with an Index of Persons and an Index of Places and Subjects, complete the letterpress. The appended Plan gives a precise delineation of the ancient royalty and shows Gorbals and other adjoining districts, while, with the view of farther enhancing its interest, the volume has been supplied with representations of various old seals and notaries' signs.
In Part I. Of the first volume of Glasgow Charters, I attempted, in 1897, to sketch the constitutional history of the burgh, from its institution in the twelfth century till the end of the reign of King Charles I., on 3oth January, 1649. That sketch, however, cannot be satisfactorily continued till farther progress is made in the publication of Extracts from the Records of the Burgh.

Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
