PASSAGES FROM THE DIARY OF GENERAL PATRICK GORDON of Auchleuchries, 1635-99, edited, with Introduction, by JOSEPH ROBERTSON, 4to, cloth, 10s. 6d.

1860

The Diary, from which these Extracts are taken, is deposited in the Imperial Library at St Petersburgh. General Gordon, who drew his origin from the stock of Auchleuchries, attained a high rank and distinguished honour in the Russian service about the middle and latter part of the 17th century. These Extracts were made under the supervision of Dr Posselt, the editor of the German translation of the "Diary.' They embrace, among other historical notes, the record of two visits to England and one to Scotland, made by General Gordon in 1660 and 1686.

EXTRACTS FROM THE DIARIES OF ALEXANDER BRODIE of Brodie, and of his Son JAMES BRODIE of Brodie, 1652-85, edited, with Introduction, by DAVID LAING, LL.D., 4to, cloth, 21s. 1863

The "Laird of Brodie" was Lord of Session under Charles I. and Cromwell. He filled no mean place in the history of his times, and he seems to have assiduously recorded from day to day the opinions which he formed of the events which passed before his eyes and of the persons with whom he was associated. The Extracts given are of very great interest and value in illustrating the history and manners of Brodie's eventful times.
