Register of the Privy Council of Scotland, First Series

Register of the Privy Council of Scotland, First Series, John Hill Burton

A simply gargantuan collection of thirty-eight large volumes in three series, containing the records of the Scottish Privy Council between the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots, and 1691. The Register of the Privy Council is the sine qua non of Early Modern Scottish History, recording the vernacular proceedings of the council that had the greatest say in the day-to-day administration of the kingdom.
