Excerpt from Memoirs of the Insurrection in Scotland in 1715 Mr Macknight, Treasurer, reported to the Meeting that having applied to The Right Honourable The Earl of Rosslyn for the use of the Manuscript Memoirs of John, Master Of Sinclair, his Lordship had in the handsomest manner consented to its publication by the Club, and, along with a fair Transcript, had sent the original Manuscript to Edinburgh. Having likewise applied through Isaac Bayley, Esq., to Mr Hope Scott of Abbotsford, for the use of the Transcript of the same Work, prepared for the Press, with Notes, by Sir Walter Scott, this application had been equally successful, and that the Club were now in a position to proceed, under the most favourable circumstances, with the publication of this long desired and valuable Historical Work. The Committee having heard this Report, unanimously resolved that the "Memoirs Of The Insurrection In Scotland In 1715," by John, Master Of Sinclair, be printed for the Members of The Abbotsford Club, under the joint superintendence of Mr Macknight and Mr Laing, from the original Manuscript, accompanied with Sir Walter Scott's Annotations, from the Manuscript at Abbotsford.
