Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Publications of Scottish Historical and Kindred Clubs and Societies: And of the Volumes Relative to Scottish History Issued by His Majesty´s Stationery Office, 1780-1908, With a Subject-Index The Perth Society continued its operations for over forty years, and published in 1827 a volume of selections from the papers contributed during its existence. The early years of the nineteenth century witnessed an extraordinary outburst of historical research in Scotland. The Bannatyne Club was founded in 1823 for the "printing and publication of works illustrative of the history, literature, and antiquities of Scotland." It published volumes in lavish profusion until, and indeed after, its formal dissolution in 1861. In 1825 the Northern Institution was established in Inverness to investigate the antiquities of the Highlands and Islands. The Maitland Club, professing wider interests, was founded in 1828, and published 75 volumes in little more than thirty years. In honour of Sir Walter Scott the Abbotsford Club was founded in 1833 with embracing objects, and like the Bannatyne and Maitland Clubs its activities extended beyond the close of the first half of the century. In 1833, also, the Iona Club was instituted in the interests of Highland history, and in 1839 the Spalding Club was established to explore that of the North-Eastern counties. In 1841 the Wodrow Society was founded "for the publication of the works of the fathers and early writers of the Reformed Church of Scotland." The Spottiswoode Society followed in 1843, for the revival and publication of the acknowledged works of members of the Episcopal Church. The year 1870, the date of the dissolution of the Spalding Club, may be regarded as marking the termination of the activity of the Clubs of the Waverley period. Not one of those mentioned above, except the Society of Antiquaries, then survived. Bridging the interval between their extinction and a renewed outburst of energy in the eighties, the year 1856 witnessed the foundation of the Glasgow Archaeological Society, whose province was especially restricted to Glasgow and the West of Scotland, a limitation from which the Society freed itself in practice. The Grampian Club followed in 1868, with a wider purview but a shorter life. The Scottish Burgh Records Society and the Club of Deir were also founded in that year. In the North, the Gaelic Society of Inverness was established in 1871, to fulfil the objects of the long defunct Iona Club. In 1877 the Ayrshire and Galloway Archæological Association was launched in the historical interests of its locality, and in the same year the New Club was established with the wider programme of the Waverley Clubs.
