Excerpt from Extracts From the Records of the Burgh of Edinburgh: A. D. 1557 1571
Unfortunately, the records of most of the Scottish Burghs previous to 1571 are not now extant; and as those of Edin burgh are, by reason of its being the capital, peculiarly inte resting, it has been resolved to proceed forthwith with the publication of a fourth volume. The requisite transcripts are being made, and will be placed without delay in the hands of the printer.
It was intended that this volume should have contained selections from the accounts of the Treasurers and Deans of Guild for the period over which it extends, and its publication has been delayed for some time in the hope that this intention might be-carried into effect. The City Chamberlain, Mr. Adam, whose intimate acquaintance with these accounts fits him beyond any other person for making the requisite selections and transcripts, kindly undertook the work, and has made considerable progress with it, but has been prevented from completing it by the pres sure of other and more important duties. The fourth volume of extracts from the Records will probably be ready in the course of the present year, and the selections-from the accounts from 1557 till the last date of the forthcoming volume will accompany it.

Excerpt from Extracts From the Records of the Burgh of Edinburgh: A. D. 1557 1571
The present volume, which forms the third of the series of "Extracts from the Records of the Burgh of Edinburgh," contains a selection, mainly from the Council Register, of extracts relating to matters of national interest, or illustrative of the history of the Scottish Capital from 1557 till 1571.
The volume opens with the imposition on Edinburgh of its proportion of a national tax to defray the expenses of the marriage of Queen Mary with the Dauphin of France. It closes with the Queen deposed and a prisoner in England; Scotland distracted by two factions, one professing allegiance to the Queen, the other supporting the cause of her sou; the Castle of Edinburgh held for her by Sir William Kirkealdy of Grange, and the Regent Lennox preparing to besiege it.
