INTRODUCTION In issuing the Accounts of Sir John Foulis to the members of the Scottish History Society, the Council are carrying out the object for which the Society was formed, 6 the discovery and printing ... of unpublished documents illustrative of the civil, religious, and social history of Scotland, 1 and thanks are due to Dr. Foulis for allowing the contents of the account- books kept by his ancestor to be printed. It may not, how- ever, be out of place to point out that though this volume contains simply the accounts of daily expenditure, not of a state department, but of an individual, it is specially valu- able as throwing light on social life in Scotland two hundred years ago. Perhaps only the editor of such a work can fully realise how clear that light is, for he has to note with care every entry, and consider its value ; the attentive reader will, how- ever, find himself interested, nay, in some cases almost fasci- nated, by the undesigned touches of nature which will be found, and by the revelations of the writers inner life and feelings to be met with in entries made day by day for his own use and satisfaction, and by reason of his methodical nature, without any thought that they might in after years see the light, and, better still, do something to increase the light. Diaries are valuable, but they are usually intended for pre- servation, with the apprehension that they will influence the mind of the reader in forming an opinion of the writer. This apprehension may not be recognised by the writer, and it may not, as far as he is aware, restrain him from using frankness ; but, on the other hand, a diary may be made a vehicle for X ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS presenting a very unreal picture of a man, of his actions, and of his motives. From such faults account-books are from their very nature free. Sir John Foulis possessed the qualifications to make a daily summary of his life and actions interesting and instructive ; he presents us with facts, and such facts as fill up the details of a busy, cheerful, and well-ordered life. He belonged to a class which took its tone from the court, and gave a tone to the trading class, then rapidly rising in the social scale. He held an official position in Edinburgh, and he had also a country house not far from the city, and he thus attended to his public and private duties both in town and country, and found relaxa- tion in country sports and in urban conviviality : he had dealings with all sorts and conditions of men, and recorded these dealings with scrupulous minuteness. Nor do we only meet with dry facts ; as we follow his life day by day, and year by year, we learn to know him as the husband, the parent, the friend, the employer, and to feel an interest which puts life into the picture, and adds to its power. Married four times, and having a large family by his first wife, there are no evidences of family friction ; his children congratulate him on the occasions of his later marriages, as we learn from the drink- money given to the bearers of their letters. The connections of his wives are his companions in his convivial hours, and he does his duty by such stepchildren as the widows he marries bring under his care. Of the welfare of his own children he is most careful. The eldest son, Archibald, known by the name of Primrose instead of Foulis, died in youth, before he had entered on the management of the Dunipace estate, which he inherited from his mother's father, Sir Archibald Primrose. On his death his next brother, George Foulis, became George Primrose, and was served heir to Dunipace. His position was peculiar ; the heir of his father's honours as Baronet of Ravel- ston, his succession to it would extinguish the name of 6 Foulis, of the house Ravelston."' Sir John clearly felt this, and though INTRODUCTION xi lie was powerless to avert the absorption of 6 Foulis of Ravel- ston 1 in 4 Primrose of Dunipace, 1 he set to work to found a family of Foulis, who would be known as s of Woodhall. 1 To accomplish this he let Ravelston, on which he had spent much money and care, and having purchased Woodhall from the heirs of John Cuninghame of Enterkin (whose widow was his third wife), he devoted the latter part of his life to improving the estate, which had been much encumbered and injured by the debts of its former possessor. William, his second surviv- ing son, was the destined owner of Woodhall, and there after his marriage he lived with his father. We shall speak more of him later on. • Before proceeding to consider in detail the various subjects brought under our notice in the Accounts, it may be well to note the valuable light this volume throws on the manners and customs of the day. It affords additional proof of the exact knowledge of Sir Walter Scott, and his correctness in the details he gives of bygone social and public life. The social customs are particularly worth noting — the free intercourse between the laird and the peasant, and the laird's interest in his tenants 1 affairs, are frequently shown. Again, the city life was very different from what it is now. There were no select clubs, no palatial hotels ; the baronet and the shopkeeper settled a bargain in the backshop of the latter, and he dealt with his uncles, the apothecary and the merchant, and with their sons after them, and yet Sir John was a proud man, proud of his name, of his lineage, of his title, and of his duly registered coat of arms, 1 but his pride was healthy, and he did not dread a poor relation coming between the wind and his nobility. Again, he was of a cheerful nature ; he enjoyed the frequent potations of claret, sack, canary, mum beer, herb ale, warm wine and ale, and occasionally rare sorts of wine, in which he and his friends indulged. We need not infer that this denoted an intemperate mode of life — it was the 1 Patent 167 1. Ordinary of Scot. Arms, by J. B. Paul, Lyon King. xii ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS usual life of the day. Meat and drink were taken in the taverns of the city, and in company with friends, more fre- quently than under the family mahogany ; it was like the modern continental mode of living, and like it did not lead to intemperance. The bill for sack sometimes shows, like that of Falstaff, a minimum of bread, but early hours were kept ; beverages such as tea, coffee, and chocolate, though not unknown, were as yet but rarely used. Sir John was not only a cheerful compotator, he was a lover of childhood. We have presented to us outlines of merry-meetings, rippling over with the laughter of boys and girls, in earlier years his children, and later on his grandchildren. They went with him to Leith races, and to see the wondrous elephant then on show in Edinburgh. He bought for them sweetmeats, shortbread, fruit, a football, chirping-birds, drums, trumpets, golf-clubs and balls ; a kind father and grandfather, and a loving one, not without cares and anxieties ; the boy he sends to sea has a Bible and a good book to take with him in his chest, and his frequent letters (for which postage had to be paid and entered) show that he does not forget his home. One boy he loses by death — at the age of eighteen : he says little of him, but leaves us from what we can gather to suspect that, as an imbecile, he must have been a sorrow to his father, who yet did his duty to ' poor Adam." Other children also he lost, in years for which the Accounts are missing. His eulogia of his wives, to be found in the Appendix, were written, doubtless, to be read by others, but let us believe they were sincere ; for there is no trace in the Accounts of any discord between wife and husband. As a friend he must have been esteemed, for he was often engaged in settling disputes, in arranging bargains, and in watching over the interests of the children of such friends as he lost by death, and here also the leading feature of the age presents itself. We read in the old accounts of a London city parish of money spent at the 6 Cardinal's Hat ' for wine to bring about an ' atonement ' INTRODUCTION xiii between the parson and the people ; so we find Sir John healed quarrels by inviting the belligerents to share a bottle of wine, and under the genial influence produced to shake hands. I trust I have said enough to show that this volume contains more than a dry statement of income and expenditure, and more than an unarranged mass of quaint words. The reader should attack it with the set determination that he will gather useful and often rare illustrations of the life that was led two hundred years ago, and thus be the better able to understand more clearly the history of the past, and its effect on the present. The Family of Foulis. James Stewart, in his History of Foulis Easter, refuses to admit that the name of the parish is Celtic, and holds that it took its name from the early owners, a Norman family residing in England before the Conquest, bearing on their shield three leaves (feuilles). He states that this Norman- Saxon knight, instead of sharing in the success of the followers of the Norman Conqueror, came to Scotland, received here a grant of lands, and that c not only the land, but the family took their designation from the cognizance.'' This view it is impossible to accept, as armorial bearings were unknown till many years after the Conquest. The name Foulis occurs in early records, but the pedigree of the family can only be proved from James Foulis, a burgess and merchant of Edinburgh. Mention is made in official records of the fifteenth century of Mr. William Foulis, who was secretary to the Earl of Douglas, 1422 {Rot. Scot. vol. ii. p. 231), Provost of Bothwell before 1429 {Ibid, vol. ii. p. 266), Keeper of the Privy Seal before 1430 {Ibid. vol. ii. p. 272). He was also Archdeacon of St. Andrews; he was connected with the expenditure on the building of the Palace at Linlithgow. In 1431 Sir James Foulis, also a cleric, superintended the works there. A little later, in 1469, an Alexander Foulis was commissioner xiv ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS to Parliament for the burgh of Linlithgow (Act. Pari vol. ii. p. 93), and in 1459 he was 'burgess their' (Exch. Rolls, vol. v. p. 596). That Sir John Foulis was descended from the Linlithgow family is probable, his ancestor, James Foulis, who purchased Colinton, made a settlement of his estate (Reg. Mag. Sig.) ; from it we find that in 1540 he was possessed of 'the Crowner lands of Manuel Foulis," near Linlithgow. It is quite possible that Alexander Foulis of Linlithgow was father of James Foulis, the earliest known member of the present family, and may himself have been a nephew of the Archdeacon, and of Sir James Foulis who, being in holy orders, could have left no legitimate offspring, as sug- gested by Burke (Baronetage, voce Foulis). Alexander left some official manuscripts, facsimiles of which are printed in the Acts of Parliament (vol. i. p. 186). We must, however, be content to commence the pedigree with James Foulis, bur- gess of Edinburgh. He may, according to Mr. Stewart's opinion, have descended from an old and illustrious stock, and still have been a member of the guild of the skinners, for it should be borne in mind that David Cecil, the grand- father of the great Lord Burghley, and the younger son of an ancient and illustrious Monmouthshire family, was a sieve- maker of the city of London. In Scotland trade was always deemed honourable, and was resorted to by men who held it to be no disgrace to the lineage — no blot on the escutcheon. If modern fastidiousness regards the merchant as holding a middle position between the laird and the peasant, he in old days more frequently belonged to the former than to the latter class, and certainly did not forfeit any privileges apper- taining to his gentle blood. So we find that James Foulis was deemed suitable in rank to be accepted as a husband by a daughter of a Fifeshire laird, for he married Margaret, daughter of Sir James Henderson of Fordell. His son, Sir James Foulis, who was also a burgess of Edinburgh, married Katherine Broun, a daughter of the Laird of Hartree. INTRODUCTION The first of this family met with is Richard Broun of Hartree, parish of Kilbucko, on the Water of Biggen, in 1431 (Orig. Par. vol. i. p. 179). Five sons were born of this marriage. 1 In 1519 Sir James bought 'Collintoiu-r from Lord Kilmaurs, son of the Earl of Glencairn. Sir James died in 1549, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Henry, who was deputy -marshal. He married Margaret Haldane, daughter of the Laird of Gleneagles, one of the most ancient and illustrious families in Scotland. Sir Henry was dead before 1573, leaving three sons, James, his successor, Robert, who was alive in 1593, and Thomas, a goldsmith, 2 alive 1592. James Foulis, the eldest son, married Anne or Agnes of the family of Heriot of Lumphry, to which family George Heriot, King James's goldsmith, and the founder of the Heriot Hospital in Edinburgh, belonged. I have not dis- covered the exact date of James FouhVs death. He left several sons. The eldest, Sir James, carried on the line of Colinton, which, however, became extinct in that line on the death of the sixth baronet, when the baronetcy created in 1634, passed to the second or Ravelston branch, of whom we shall treat presently. It may be mentioned that the Lairds of Colinton were eminent on the Bench, and lived in close friendship with their cousins of Ravelston. John Foulis, third son of James Foulis and Anna Heriot, was a wealthy goldsmith ; his grand- daughter, Anna, a great heiress, married Sir John Hope, ancestor of the Earl of Hopetoun. David, the fourth son, settled in England, and founded a family, now extinct in the male line, which held a baronetcy from 1619 to 1876. Robert, fifth son, was an Advocate. He married Sara Speir. The baptisms of some of his children are entered in the Edinburgh Register of Baptisms. 1 See Genealogical Table. 2 In the Accounts of the Lord High Treastirer, vol. i. p. 322, mention is made of ' Henrj Fowlis the Gold smith,' 6 March 1496. In 1478 Adam of Fowlis and John of Fowlis, apparently merchants, are mentioned {Act. Dom. Com.). They may have been of Manuel Fowlis. xvi ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS George Foulis, second son, was goldsmith and 4 Monetarius regis/ In 1620 he purchased Ravelston; the name of the former owner I have not discovered. He proceeded to erect a substantial and handsome mansion, several sketches of portions of which are given in A Midlothian Village, and in Messrs. M'Gibbon and Ross's Castellated Architecture (vol. iv.). George Foulis married first, 1596, Sibella Gilbert, concerning whose family I know nothing. By her he had two daughters, who died young. Secondly, he married in 1603 Janet, daughter of George Bannatyne, distinguished for his love for Scottish poetry. The Bannatyne Club, named after him, has printed his valuable collection, and Sir Walter Scott edited a memorial volume, in which are included some family notes made by his own hand. The more strictly genealogical portions are printed in Appendix i. of this volume, the original volume being still preserved along with Sir John Foulis's account-books. Eleven children were born of this marriage. The eldest son, James, died unmarried in 1633, at the age of 28. George, the second son, who carried on the line, was born in 1606, and married first, 1633, Christian Wardlaw, daughter of the Laird of Pitreavie, by whom he had two sons, who died young. He married, second, 1636, Jean, daughter of Sir John Sinclair of Steviston, and by her had a large family (see Appendix). The eldest son, John, succeeded to Ravelston on the death of his father in 1679. He had already married in 1661 Margaret, eldest daughter of Sir Archibald Primrose, Lord Register and baronet, and in the same year was himself created a baronet. The title was clearly intended to add to the honours of the Primrose family, for the eldest surviving son was to bear the name of Primrose instead of Foulis. I have, however, already considered this matter. I will proceed to consider those of Sir John Foulis's near relations whose names appear in the Accounts. INTRODUCTION xvii His Family and Relations. Having himself a large family of sons and daughters, having taken to himself four wives, having nephews and nieces and cousins of various degrees of propinquity, it is but natural that in his Accounts many references to these should be found, which will explain not only his own sentiments, but the posi- tion in which the whole family stood in regard to one another. By his first wife, Margaret Primrose, he had fourteen children, born between 7th August 1662 and 26th March 1680, the following of whom are referred to. , For a complete list see Appendix. The eldest was a daughter, Jean, born 1662 : she married in 1685, John, eldest son of Sir James Hay of Linplum, by whom she had a daughter, Margaret. The marriage does not appear to have been a happy one, and before her husband's death we find Jean living with her father, he charging her husband's estate with her maintenance (p. 148). His little grand- daughter was evidently much loved, and the kindly old man made her happy with presents and amusements. Margaret married, in 1701, Lord William Hay, son to the Marquis of Tweeddale, and the present Marquis is a descendant of that marriage. Frequent entries show that Sir John was duly informed of the arrival of great-grandchildren. Jean Foulis married, secondly, Sir James Justice, of East Crichton, Principal Clerk of Session, one of Sir John's most intimate friends. Two sons were born of this marriage; and as the boys grew up they received presents from the grandfather. An account of the Justice's family will be found in Nisbet's Heraldic Plates (p. 1 52). Archibald, his eldest son (born 1663), took the name of Primrose, and inherited the estate of Dunipace. He paid a visit to London in 1681, a pony being purchased for his riding thither (p. 80) ; and afterwards he visited the Continent, where he died, at Prague, unmarried, in 1684. b xviii ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS Elizabeth, the second daughter (born 1666). She married, 1690, Alexander Gibson of Durie, and had several children. From this marriage Sir Thomas Gibson Carmichael is de- scended. A notice of the family will be found in Scot. Antiq. (vols. i. and ii. p. 107). Elizabeth Foulis or Gibson is frequently mentioned in the Accounts, and she and her husband were on affectionate terms with her father, who, on her husband's death, acted as guardian to her children (p. 153). For her children's marriages, see Appendix. George, the second, but eventually eldest son, was born 1667. He assumed, on his brother's death in 1684, the name of Primrose, and inherited Dunipace. 1 He married Jane Cunningham, and a full account of his descendants will be found in the Appendix. He predeceased his father, dying in 1707. Before he succeeded to Dunipace, he is frequently mentioned in the Accounts. His father probably intended him for the law, and he made some progress with his studies. After his succession he travelled abroad, and possibly visited London. Amongst the Foulis papers is a book of payments made by a trustworthy steward or chaplain for ' the Laird, 1 to and from and in London, in which the Laird's pony figures. This is printed in the Scot. Antiq. (vol. viii. p. 152), and may refer to the young laird of Dunipace. This, however, is a conjecture. The two lairds, father and son, were always on friendly terms, but there are indications that Sir John felt aggrieved at the summary merging of his name, title, and paternal estate in Primrose of Dunipace, and he certainly took measures to make Woodhall the family seat, and to entail it on William, his next son, who would bear his name. He was powerless to deal with the title, which at his death passed to George's son, Archibald, who thus became Sir Archibald Primrose, Bart., of Ravelston and Laird of Dunipace. On his attainder and death, at Carlisle, it became extinct. 1 Served heir, April 15, 1685. INTRODUCTION xix Margaret, fourth daughter, was born 1671. She married, 1695, John Glass of Sauchie. A pedigree of the Glass family will be found in the Miscellany of the Scottish History Society, vol. i. p. 309. John Glass was brother to Alexander Glass, writer, Edinburgh, and there are frequent references in the Accounts not only to them, but to Margaret Foulis or Glass, her children, and her home. William, the fourth, but second surviving son, was born 1674. As he became his fathers adopted heir, there is much about him in the Accounts. His father, towards the end of his life, resided with him at Woodhall, and probably died there. William Foulis died 1737 (Records of Grey friars). Alexander, the fifth son, was born 1677. He took to a sea life, and several entries in the Accounts show how, at the time, a lad of good family was apprenticed to a ship captain (Dundas at Queensferry), his outfit, his leave-taking, his modest ventures on his own account, the ports from which he wrote home, with much regularity, his visits to his father, his departure to India — the grand voyage of those days — his gifts of watches, money, and the fi foy,"* or farewell supper. Of his return from the Indies we have no record. He possibly made several voyages ; but died at Calcutta, unmarried, in 1709. Grizzell, the sixth daughter, was born 1678. She married, 1695, Alexander Melville of Murdocairnie, and had two sons, John and Alexander. 'Cairnie 1 is frequently mentioned in the Accounts. Adam, the sixth son, was born 1680, and died near Duni- pace in 1698. We have already referred to him as probably diffident in intellect, and placed under the care of a Mr. Slide. Margaret Primrose, Sir John's first wife, died 18th April 1690. He refers to her death in his family notes (see Appendix); and from the Accounts (p. 122) we learn that the usual for- malities were attended to ; letters sent out inviting friends to the funeral, etc., etc. These entries are well worth noting. On the 28th of August 1690 Sir John married his second ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS wife, Ann, 1 eldest daughter of Walter Dundas of that Ilk ; on the 20th of October 1691 their only child, Barbara (Babie) was born. She died in infancy, 7th December 1693. ' She was a weill favoured wittie child. 1 We learn (p. 187) that young as she was, the father had her portrait taken, probably by Scougal. He seems to have felt her loss keenly. On the 10th January 1696 her mother died in the Edinburgh lodging at Foster's Wynd head. On the 29th March 1 697 Sir John married his third wife, Mary Murray, daughter of John Murray of Polmais, and widow of John Cuninghame of Enterkin, by whom she had several children. He purchased Woodhall, which was a part of Cuninghame's property, but heavily burdened with debt. The Accounts give details of the bargain. It became the family mansion, and was left to William Foulis, the second surviving son. By Mary Murray Sir John had no issue. We find that he was a prudent and kindly stepfather to her sons, and showed much affection to her daughter Jane, who married his son William, and died in May 1704, leaving an only daughter, Mary, born 1702, who married William Scot of Bavillaw. Her husband married, secondly, December 1704, Helen Hepburn of Humbie (see Appendix). Dame Mary Murray or Foulis died at Foster's Wynd head 27th December 1702 ; and on the 7th September 1705 Sir John married his fourth wife, Agnes Scott, widow of Andrew Bruce, bailie of Edinburgh. Of her parentage I have no informa- tion. She had at the time of her marriage to Sir John a granddaughter (p. 380). There are some amusing entries of liberal 'tips' made to her maid, whose support Sir John may have deemed it wise to have secured by such substantial atten- tions. In fact the Accounts throw some light on the courtship 1 In Nisbet's Heraldic Platesjfoe. is styled Agnes. The two names were, in the sixteenth century, in England, often identical. Ann Hathaway, wife of William Shakespeare, being styled Agnes in her father's will. I am not aware that this was often the case in Scotland. — Ed. INTRODUCTION xxi of the elderly Baronet, his visits, his gifts to maid, and 6 boy caried a bouit and candle w* me home ' (p. 394). This page was duly 'brothered.' Dame Agnes Scott survived her hus- band, and was buried 26th June 1720, aged 80. Sir John Foulis\s Brothers and Sister. George Foulis of Raevelston, Sir John's father, had by his two wives twelve children (see Appendix). It will only be necessary here to refer to those whose names occur in the Accounts. James Foulis, younger brother to Sir John, born 1639, died 1676; he married (1670) a daughter of the deceased John Mar jori banks, bailie of Edinburgh, and left a son, George Foulis, born 1673. His name occurs several times in the Accounts. John and Edward Marjoribanks, with whom Sir John had dealings, were probably his uncles on his mother's side. Adam Foulis, third surviving son of Sir George Foulis, was born 1643, with his twin brother William. William died unmarried 1672 (p. 7). Adam survived till 1686 ; he never married, but left a natural daughter, for whose maintenance Sir John paid ; he was much beloved by Sir John, who refers to him in affectionate terms. Issobel, the fifth daughter, was born 1644 ; she married in 1673 James Loch of Drylaw, and had three sons, who sur- vived their birth (see Appendix). Lady Drylaw was left a widow, and her interests were well cared for by her brother, who makes frequent mention of her in his Accounts. His Paternal Cousins. Sir John had an uncle John, an apothecary in Edinburgh, who died 1689 (p. 115) ; he left two sons, John and James. John carried on his father's business, and had dealings with his cousin. James probably went to London, for we find a James Foulis occasionally corresponding with Sir John. xxii ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS Alexander Foulis, first of Ratho, was a younger brother of Sir George Foulis of Raevelston, and uncle to Sir John. As neighbouring lairds, he, his son, and grandchildren are fre- quently mentioned as joining Sir John in social or sporting meetings. Janet, a daughter of John Foulis, second of Ratho, was wife of Colonel Adam Rae, of whom I have more to say later on. Sir James Foulis of Colinton was cousin and close neighbour to Sir John. The Baronetcy, created in 1634, is now held by the descendant of William, second surviving son of Sir John. Sir James, the second Baronet of Colinton, and his son, Sir John (sitting as a Judge of the Court of Session as Lord Rudford), are frequently mentioned in the Accounts. Others of the name are mentioned, as Adam Foulis, a merchant in Edinburgh, son of Robert Foulis, uncle to Sir John, and John Foulis, who was employed in the Sasine Office. On one occasion a poor woman from Ireland named Foulis received alms apparently in consideration of her name. We have throughout a picture of a united family, considerate of one another. In his transactions with his relations Sir John appears in a favourable light. His Cronies. Sir Walter Seton, father and son. Sir Walter Seton, of Abercorn, the elder, married Christian, daughter of George Dundas of that Ilk, and aunt of Ann Dundas, Sir John FouhVs second wife ; he died 1692 (p. 145). His son, Sir Walter, was an Advocate and Commissary Clerk of Edinburgh. They were both intimate friends of Sir John, and Sir Walter, the younger, was present at most of the convivial meetings so frequently recorded in the Accounts. James Nicholson was another close friend for many years. Of him I can learn nothing with any certainty. He was probably a member of the family Nicholson, distinguished in the legal profession at the time. INTRODUCTION xxiii Adam Rae, styled Major Rae, and Colonel Rae, but most frequently plain Adam Rae. I owe most of my information about him to J. C. Gibson, Esq., Wood Park, Polmont, who has most kindly supplied me with his notes on the Rae and Glass families. James Rae, a burgess of Edinburgh, married Isobel Davidson, and died 1638 ; his son, James, also a burgess, was born 1608, and married Janet Sinclair, sister to Sir John FouhVs mother. Adam, his second son, was born 1642, and was therefore first cousin to Sir John on the mothers side. What his military position was is uncertain. His father, James Rae, was also a Colonel and merchant. He owned the lands of Coltinhoofe in the parish of St. Ninians, and his daughter, Marion (Adam's sister), married in 1659 Alex- ander Glass, who became possessed of Coltinhoofe as well as Sauchie ; their son, John Glass of Sauchie, was husband of Margaret, daughter of Sir John Foulis. 1 There was thus a connection between the Foulises and Glasses through the Raes. Towards the latter part of his life Sir James Foulis of Colinton, usually styled in the Accounts Lord Colinton, was much with Sir John. Besides these men the reader will note very many others. They are usually designated by the territorial titles. In some cases I have failed to trace the family name, as small estates were at the time continually changing hands. I have to express my thanks to the Rev. Walter M'Leod, Edin- burgh, and the Rev. A. T. Grant, Leven, for helping me to the names of very many of these lairds, which are given at page 471. It may be well here to point out that much genealogical information is contained in this work. There are very many references to marriages, baptisms, and burials, some of which will supply blanks in Scottish pedigrees. Notably may be men- tioned (p. 190) the exact date of the burial of the Viscountess Dundee, who was killed in Holland about September 1695. 1 Alex. Glass, often mentioned, was brother of John. xxiv ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS Her body was embalmed 1 and buried at Kilsyth ; the date of her burial, however, has not hitherto been discovered. It is evident from the entry that the body was landed at Queensferry (in Dalmeny Parish), and was carried west to Kilsyth on March 5, 1696, Sir John Foulis, and doubtless many others, attending at the commencement of the journey. Who Polbellie was, who was buried the same day, I have failed to discover. Lady Dundee had married, secondly, Lord Kilsyth, and their only son, who was killed in her arms, was buried with her in the same coffin. Polbellie could not have been the child's title. His Household. Sir John at Ravelston, and later at Wood hall, kept an establishment suited to his rank and means. The Accounts not only show the dimensions of this establishment, but also the wages that were paid. First in honour comes the chaplain, not as in England a fully ordained clergyman, but a graduate who hoped possibly to get promoted to the charge of a parish by the influence of his noble patron. One of Sir John's chaplains, the Rev. Walter Allan, was so promoted, and was ordained minister of Colinton Jan. 25, 1701 (p. 287). On this occasion Sir John attended the ordination dinner, and paid at least a portion of the expense of the entertainment, as may be seen. A list of his chaplains, probably complete, made from the Accounts, may be worth giving : Mr. Ro 1 . Bull, Mr. Patrick Melville, Mr. George ?, Mr. Wm. Meldrum, Mr. Walter Allan, and Mr. William Rae. The chaplain had a room to himself, on the improving of which certain sums of money were expended (pp. 300, 311, etc.). What his duties were cannot be very clearly ascertained. He bought school-books for the boys, went with them on a journey into Fife (p. 138), and paid the expenses of funerals which occurred in the family (p. 347). Mr. Robert Bull 1 Chambers's Dom. Annals of Scotland, vol. viii. p. 98, contains an interest- ing account of the incident ; see also The Grameid (Scot. Hist. Soc), p. 70. INTRODUCTION XXV received as a year's salary eighty pounds Scots (p. 16), but had also free board and lodging. It may be noted that Sir John lost a child (p. lviii) unbaptized. From this it would appear that the domestic chaplain not being ordained, was not qualified to administer the sacrament of baptism. As to the other domestics it is needless to give their names or to discuss their wages, which will be found entered ; it may be well to note that in Nov. 1694 (p. 170) he paid poll-tax for his chaplain, four men servants and four women servants. His men servants included a coachman and footman, and a footboy. 1 The duties of the fourth male domestic were pro- bably to do 'anything lawful. 1 The gardener and his men, and the shepherd, were not indoor servants. Amongst the women domestics mention is made of a Mrs. Urquhart, evidently a sort of housekeeper, while the cook then, as now, allowed no invasion of her territory, at least by the master, for in 1691 (p. 130) he had to pay a fine of 14s. ' to y e cook Marie, w n I went into y e kitchen. 1 A great deal of informa- tion will be found about the mode of engaging, the wages, and the duties of house servants and outdoor labourers. In con- cluding this section, it may be noted that a house tailor was employed (pp. 30, 109). A similar case is mentioned in CunninghanCs Diary (Scottish History Society), p. 16. Outdoor Amusements. From the Accounts the reader can learn what were the field sports of a Scottish country gentleman at the end of the seventeenth century. The only horse races in the east of Scotland were run at Leith in the spring of the year, and these Sir John attended pretty regularly. He was usually one of a party who, after seeing the race, and dining at Leith, returned in their hired coach via Restalrig, where they stopped for refreshment, and wound up the day at one of the many Edin- burgh taverns. On one occasion, Feb. 27, 1672 (p. 3), he 1 An amusing entry (p. 218) shows how the footboy was taught to shave or * barbarize.' xxvi ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS took his children, and later on he took his son James, then a lad, with him to see the race. When at Ravelston he was fond of hare-hunting ; the country between his estate and Ratho was well suited for the sport ; at the end of the day the 4 hare finder' was duly rewarded with drink-money. When the sport was further afield, the hounds were sent on the day before, and sometimes the sportsmen found a lodging in a convenient change-house. No information is given as to the number or breed of the dogs employed. Possibly each sportsman provided his own contingent. Some system was, however, in use, for on Sept. 4, 1705, he spent £1, 10s. 6 at hunting with middleton, castlebrand, ratho, etc., when the whelps were entered' (p. 356). He had also greyhounds (grew whelps), one of which he lost, and sent the bellman round to cry him ; for another he had a collar with padlock provided. These were probably then, as now, used for cours- ing, which I take it was distinct from hunting with horse and hound. Payment is made to the man who stopped the fox and brock holes, but no mention is made of fox-hunting or badger-baiting. Hawking was still a sport for country gentle- men, and Sir John indulged in it both at Ratho and in Fife- shire (pp. 139, 159). As a disciple of Isaak Walton, Sir John handled both rod and net ; several entries refer to hooks and the busking of them (pp. 208, 427), while pout-nets and harle- nets (p. 6) are referred to as being used apparently in the river Cramond, or on the neighbouring mill-dams, which were occa- sionally drawn off for the purpose of getting the fish. Though Lochleven trout are mentioned (p. 82), it is not shown that Sir John during his visits to Fifeshire ever tried his luck with net or hook in those waters, which were doubtless then, as now, fascinating yet capricious, and often most cruel to the most persevering lover, while unexpectedly gracious to those who came but to toy and ride away. Of shooting or gunning, as it was often termed, as a sport we find nothing. Gunpowder and shot were provided to the gardener to protect the fruit INTRODUCTION xxvii by shooting crows and pyots. Pistols were part of the fur- nishing for a journey on horse or by coach; but the rabbits, the muirfowl and partridges, which sometimes appeared on his table were bought, and were probably snared, not shot. One other outdoor sport cannot be overlooked ; indeed the reader finds frequent mention of it. Golf, played at Leith, was a favourite amusement with Sir John. He played for small sums, and the evening after the match was spent in con- viviality, which doubtless soothed feelings which even in the best of men are, I believe, sometimes ruffled, not to say exas- perated, when things do not go smoothly on the links. Not only did he golf himself, but he took care that his descendants should know how to handle the club, for in 1672 he bought a golf club for his son Archie, then 9 years old, and in 1707 he spent £1, 14s. on 'Two golfe clubs, l lib , and 4 balls 14 sh to James and John Justice. 1 The eldest of these lads was then 9 years of age : they were his 4 oys, 1 or grandchildren. Cock- fighting is hardly an out-of-door sport, and considering the nature of it we are glad to find no direct mention of it amongst Sir John's amusements. There is, however, one entry that may refer to it: 1698, March 8, Ho robie for downsetting and uptak- ing his cock, 4 s . 1 Curling is only mentioned twice in the earlier portion of his Accounts (pp. 2, 15), so that Sir John clearly was not a 6 keen curler , ; but he was very fond of bowls, which were played at Pratt's Green in the Potterow, to which frequent reference is made. Football is once mentioned, when he paid for a football for his son William. Indoor and Town Amusements. Of indoor amusements but little information is given. The evenings were probably short even in winter, for early hours were kept in the seventeenth century. When in town he met with his companions and discussed politics, domestic affairs, and local gossip. Occasionally he indulged in cards, entries being found of payment for 6 stocks (i.e. packs) of carts." The xxviii ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS games mentioned are lant and ombre ; he also played at 4 tables , and 4 dice,"* but his losses were very small. That young ladies played for money is shown by his giving small sums to his daughters that they might risk at play. Twice we know he engaged in 4 high jinks," a description of which is given in Guy Mannering (vol. ii. p. 264, ed. 1820). It was a letting off the steam indulged in by elderly men, but would certainly not approve itself to the present seniors of the Parliament House. His other town amusements were seeing shows such as the elephant (pp. 40, 457), which was a great attraction, and was treated to bread and ale ; the 4 supple man ' (p. 405), who was probably also a rope-dancer. This man is not men- tioned by Chambers (Domestic Annals). He also attended a concert of music given in the tennis-court by Mr. Abel (p. 405), who was a good musician. Earlier in his life he frequently attended the theatre, which in 1672 seems to have been located at Leith. Chambers does not mention the existence of a theatre in Scotland at this period. He writes (vol. iii. p. 398), 4 The first presentment of any public theatricals that can be authenticated occurred in the early part of 1715. We know little about it besides that a corps was then acting plays at the Tennis Court near Holyrood Palace.' I may as well give the dates of some of Sir John's visits to the play. 26 and 29 Jan. 1672. 27 Feb. 4 spent at newhaven and leith and at the play." 9 March, 4 payed to see M c beth acted. 1 14 June, 4 to let the Lady Pitarrow and cristian see the Comedie.' 21 June, 6 to see the Comedie when the Commissioner was ther, and for oranges to gentlewomen/ 6 July, 4 to see the comedie."' 28 November, 4 to see the Comedy acted.' 19 Dec, 4 w* the chan- cellour, M r of Saltoune, Lyon, Mortoune, etc., at golf [at Leith], in coatch hires, and to see the Comedies, and at cards.' 21 Dec, 4 to see Sir Solomon acted.' The last entry about theatres is 31 Dec. 1672, but as the Accounts are missing between January 14, 1673 and December 19, 1679, there may have been many more attendances. Amongst those customs INTRODUCTION xxix which partook of a convivial character, and which varied the monotony of his town life, were e sealing , and 6 brothering." The former was akin to practices not unknown to us in our school-days, but put off in this wise age with other childish things. The acquisition of a new suit of clothes, or even of a new hat or wig, was duly celebrated by a ' sealing,' a convivial gathering with intimate friends, when the important assump- tion of the new raiment was duly solemnised. Broth ering was a sort of festive initiation into any new office or appoint- ment. Mr. William Foulis, as a blushing young advocate, was duly ' brothered.' So was my Lady Enterkin's page boy. In fact no occasion was lost for a little innocent mirth. Doubtless there were many who viewed such things with disfavour. We find in the Diary of John Erskine of Car nock (Scottish History Society), p. 19, under date Nov r 1683, 'This night I gave the lads in our chamber a glass of wine and a supper, that I might make my acquaintance with them, and they have a custom in brothering to cause the person on his knees hear what they have to say, but I might and ought to have refused that needless ceremony. 1 John Erskine was not twenty-two years old at the time, but was brought up in a much stricter school than our genial baronet, who took his part in high jinks, sealling and brothering without scruples of conscience. His Country Estates. The estate of Ravelston, to which Sir John Foulis succeeded on the death of his father, George Foulis, lies on the north- east shoulder of Corstorphine Hill. The old house has been rebuilt, but fragments have been preserved of which drawings are given in Dr. Taylor's interesting little work A Midlothian Village. There is, however, a view of the house preserved in the Bannatyne Memorial volume. The estate was not very extensive, but Sir John evidently was an enterprising agricul- turist : he looked after the farm-buildings and workmen's houses, and had the fences put in order, a liberal quantity of 4 lime xxx ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS shells' and sand was put upon the land, which was dressed with stable and byre 6 muck.' I find that he allows a small farmer in Corstorphine to have the 6 muck ' Out of the dovecot on condition that he puts farm-yard 6 muck 1 of equal value on the Ravelston land. In fact the estate was well manured, by which term was then meant the general cultivation it received ; the word now is restricted to the application of fertilising matter known as manure. Information will be found as to crops, price of corn, and occasionally notes as to weather. The stock consisted of cows, sheep, and pigs, termed when young gryce. Most of his 'carting 1 was done by means of sleds, though there was a farm cart to use on the public roads. Some of the neighbouring small farmers hired out their horses to him for bringing coal or wood from the pithead, the shore, or from Leith. His corn was ground chiefly at Coltbridge Mills. As to the general improvement of the estate, he did not neglect planting trees, some of which he obtained from his son's well-wooded estate of Dunipace. After pur- chasing Woodhall he transferred his attention to the improve- ment of it, and did little more for Ravelston. The house was enlarged and adorned ; there is a full description (p. 325) of the decoration of one of the rooms, but the reader may be startled a little further on (p. 327) by * ye bed in the drawing- roume. 1 Not only was the house attended to, but a good deal had to be done for the estate ; as Mr. Cuninghame of Enterkin, its late owner, had burdened it with debt, it required to be put in thorough order. Acorns and beech masts were sown, and young trees planted until the place wore a new aspect. At Ravelston, and afterwards at Woodhall, the gardens were kept well stocked ; vegetables, then rare, potatoes, asparagus, artichokes were cultivated. Salads were valued, for they were regularly grown, lettuces of various sorts, parsley, and syboes, and that they were made use of is shown by the purchase of a salad-bowl. Flowers were not neglected : mention is made of tulips, lilies, clovegilliflower, anemones, while a INTRODUCTION xxxi striped or variegated holly adorned the Woodhall gardens. Lists of plants and seeds with prices will be frequently met with ; and also information as to the wages of head-gardeners and their assistants. His Town House was at the head of Foster's Wynd, a narrow close which led from the High Street to the Cowgate. The present County Building now occupies the site. He inherited this house from his father. It consisted of his own residence, with shops and cellar below, and * lodging 1 above, or house, usually let to some tenant of good position, occasionally vacant, when a ticket was put in the window, according to modern fashion. As Sir John's country house was so near Edinburgh, he used the town lodging more as a convenience than as a regular dwelling, and after a time removed his registers and office furniture into it. But it was necessary to see that on public occasion his lodg- ing did not wear a deserted appearance ; and therefore he was in the habit of sending in a man-servant to buy a pound of candles to illuminate the windows on the 5th of November or on the royal birthday. Perhaps it was a forgetful neglect of this mark of respect which led to an outlay for sweeping up the premises, ' when the rable broke our windowes 1 (p. 279). In connection with his town house he had transaction with the Dean of Guild Court, either obtaining its sanction for improve- ments or obtaining interdict when some neighbour encroached on his rights. The dangers attending the overcrowded and lofty houses of old Edinburgh are also alluded to, water in the cellars, and a panic when the great fire (3d February 1700) broke out in Robison's land. An account of it will be found in Chambers's Domestic Annals, vol. iii. p. 225. Sir John enters a gratuity given to a man 4 helped to flit our plenishing w n ye fyre was in Robiesone's land 1 (p. 273). When he invited any of his lady relations or friends to a meal in his 6 lodgings,' he procured food ready dressed. On two occasions this was supplied from 4 the graping office,' a noted tavern or cookshop — xxxii ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS Chambers (vol. iii. p. 223), * a darkling tavern in Parliament Close, which Dr. Archibald Pitcairn (the celebrated and con- vivial physician of the time) called the Greping office (Latine greppa), by reason of the necessity of groping in order to get into it.' Whatever be the derivation of the word, it is probable that the witty doctor suggested a suitable meaning for a word already in use. Money, Weights, and Measures. The Accounts are kept according to the value of Scottish money, but frequent reference is made to English and foreign coins, and it is not always easy to determine their value. There was a vast amount of foreign money in circulation in Scotland in the seventeenth century. Ruddiman, in his introduction to Anderson's Diplomata Scotice, mentions that when at the Union in 1707 one coinage was adopted for Great Britain, the silver in circulation in Scotland was called in. The total value was £411,117, 10s. 9d., of which £132,080, 17s. consisted of foreign silver money, and £40,000 of English milled coin. Of the Scottish coins £96,856, 13s. were milled Scottish coins, and £142,180 coins struck by hammer. About a third of the coinage in use was foreign, and consisted of coins of various countries and various values. The trade with Holland brought much of their country money into circulation — the copper coins finding their way into the church plate. It is mentioned in the Clackmannan Kirk Session Records, that when a parishioner was going to Holland he was intrusted with a large hoard of such inconvenient alms that he might spend the coins where they would buy some goods for the parish use. Where it has been possible I have reduced the foreign coins mentioned in the Accounts to their value in Scots money. I think it probable that light coins passed at a lower value, and that to ascertain it the 4 weights and scale 1 were bought (p. 309). I have in vain tried to discover some work which would assist me, but without success, and have had to INTRODUCTION xxxiii be content with such information as I could glean from the statements of various writers. I give below a table of such coins as I have met with, with their value in Scots money — A leg 1 dollar ■ — £2 16 0 A rex dollar — 2 18 0 A dog or Lyon dollar 2 8 0 A dollar in 1675 2 15 4 A ' Jacobus . . .

Measures. The following is copied from Oliver & Boyd's Almanac, 1894 (p. 83) :— ( Old Scottish liquid measure. 128 gills — 32 mutchkins= 16 chopins = 8 pints = 1 gallon = 3 '00651, or about 3 imp. gallons.' 1 W. Carew Hazlitt, in his Coinage of the European Continent, states (p. 221) that the Patacdn or Patagon was the name in Brabant and Portugal for the silver dollar — ' the word signifies the same as piefort, a heavy foot, the coin weighing an ounce, hence the sobriquet of leg- dollar.'' Cochran- Patrick holds that the name is derived from the fact that one leg only of the figure on the obverse is visible, the other being covered by the shield. The most natural derivation, however, is that it was a dollar struck at Liege — in Dutch, Leg, where there were several mints. Gerard Van Loon in his Hedindangsche Penningkunde has a good deal to say about the 'legpenning' and the 'leggen zilver.' Liege or Leg money appears to have formed a standard of value. 2 From an entry, p. 37, the ducadoon seems to have been worth only £1, 9s. 2d. On p. 312 the value rises to ^"3, 14s. The reader is referred to p. 197 for an example of mixed coinage. C xxxiv ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS Thus a mutchkin was slightly less than an imperial pint. There were four gills in a mutchkin ; while a chopin equalled 2 mutchkins, or nearly an imperial quart. The pint Scots was nearly 3 pints imperial. Weights. A drap = nearly 10 oz. A boll of meal was reckoned at about 4 bushels English. General Remarks. Having explained that a perusal of the Accounts will enable the reader to form a correct and tolerably clear insight into the state of domestic life at the close of the seventeenth century, it may be well to point out a few details of in- terest which have not come under any of the foregoing heads. Very little reference is made to the church or to the clergy. Seat -rents, parish dues, professional fees of gloves at weddings or funerals, and ministers' stipends were regularly paid, but there seems to have been very little social intercourse between Sir John and his clerical neighbours. It was probably not correct for them to attend the meetings in the Edinburgh taverns, free as those meetings may have been from riot or excess. Sir John attended the ordination dinner of his protege, Mr. Walter Allan, the minister of Colinton ; and an entry shows that on one occasion that gentleman dined with Sir John at his country house. When at Alloa, Sir John not only called on 4 My Lord Mar," but on Mrs. Turnbull, the ministers wife; but she was the sister of his son-in-law, John Glass of Sauchie, and the visit was paid to her, not to her husband. I think that this absence of any reference to social intercourse between the two orders is worthy of notice ; I would also refer to the frequency with which Sir John and his friends disregarded the strict ecclesiastical regulations which were vigorously enforced on less influential persons. ' Penny weddings ' were forbidden, yet he INTRODUCTION XXXV attended them with his children. Music on such occasions increased the heinousness of the offence, yet he gave liberally to the fiddlers and pipers. One instance may be noted in proof of the unequal administration of clerical justice at the time. The St. Ninians kirk-session records show that some fiddlers were punished for playing at a christening feast ; they pleaded that they were licensed by the local magistrates, but their plea was set aside. Yet the very same year Sir John attended the baptism of one of his grandchildren at St. Ninians, and gave money to the fiddlers on that occasion. But the offence of Glass of Sauchie, the father of the child, was taken no notice of. From ministers let us turn to doctors. Physicians were called in when sickness visited the house, and before the death of his second wife a consultation was held at which the cele- brated Dr. Pitcairn took part. The professional honorarium was a guinea, 4s. Scots, with a douceur also to the doctor's man. Surgeons came occasionally to administer medi- cine or 4 to let blood,' which was not only the common cure or alleviation for every disease, but was resorted to as beneficial at certain seasons of the year. A day or two after bleeding, we find a fee given to the surgeon's man, who 4 took away the pellets.' These were two small leaden compresses to prevent undue bleeding, and were removed on the second or third day. Several drugs are mentioned, such as 4 Anderson's pills,' 1 4 Daffy's Elixar,' 4 Epsom salts.' 4 Scarborough water ' was also made use of, and water from the well at 4 Inchmachan ' 2 (p. 158) ; while on one occasion he sent a servant to procure 4 Solomon's seal' for Lady Raith in her sickness, the herb having a reputation for medicinal virtues. 1 The word 'bust' in the first entry (p. 3) puzzled me. I have since dis- covered that a * boyst ' was an old Scottish name for a box to hold drugs or confections. 2 Now known as Ecclesmachan, near Linlithgow. There is a reputed holy well in the parish. xxxvi ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS An entry (p. 340) shows that as early as 1704 there were sweating baths in Edinburgh ; indeed, as will be seen from a footnote, William Paull, 4 bath-stove keeper,' was married in Edinburgh in 1669. Both he and his wife were probably foreigners. Chambers, in his Domestic Annals, is therefore mis- taken when he writes (vol. iii. p. 260) : 6 On the principle that minute matters which denote a progress in improvement, or even a tendency to it, are worthy of notice, it may be allow- able to remark at this time (July 1702) an advertisement of Mr. George Robertson, apothecary at Perth, that he had lately set up there " a double Hummum or bath-stove, the one for men and the other for women, approven of by physicians to be of great use for the cure of several diseases." A Hum- mum is in reality a Turkish or hot-air bath. We find that within twenty years after this time the chirurgeons in Edin- burgh had a bagnio or hot-bath, and the physicians a cold bath, for medical purposes.' The Edinburgh Turkish bath- keeper in 1704 provided his customers with coffee, brandy, and Canary wine ; and there were attendants, who received a douceur. Many interesting notices are to be found of trade and com- merce, besides the cost of labour and domestic furnishings. Together with the purchase of Woodhall Sir John acquired the paper-mills of Spylaw, and some walk-mills. At the former, part of the rent was kindly being paid in paper ; at the latter the fulling work was still carried on. That he took an interest in inventions is shown by his visiting the stocking- weavers (p. 124). 1 He had also shares in the Linen Company, the African Company, and in the ill-fated Darien Scheme ; and he encouraged his sailor son Alexander to do some business for himself by supplying him with money to trade with when he made his first voyage to the Indies. I will now pass from trade to charity. Sir John was doubtless Loom stockings are mentioned, p. 369. INTRODUCTION xxxvii as liberal as his neighbours. Distressed persons frequently were relieved by him ; nor did he witness without an effort to comfort it the distress of 4 a poor lass that had her milk cast over ' (p. 249), and who received 3d. He subscribed to 4 the collection for building a church to y e protestants at Cunings- berg" (p. 211), and on more than one occasion aided the dis- tressed and ejected Episcopalian ministers. In 4 drink-money 1 he followed the custom of the day, and dispensed it on every suitable occasion. One entry has an amusing feature in it : 4 To Geordie, the drink-monie the woman sould have had y* lost his clothes, £1 : 16 : (T (p. 364). We have a good deal of information about journeys and the state of the roads. Even in the suburbs of Edinburgh they must have been shocking, for when driving out to Ravelston his coach got into some holes at Coltbridge, and had to be extricated by the aid of soldiers and others who were at hand. After this accident the road was repaired, Sir John as a parishioner paying his share of the cost. On returning from a visit to his son-in-law, Glass of Sauchie, he had to procure assistance to get his coach safely across Auchinbowie Moss. Not long before his last illness, and when he was evidently in broken health, he found it more comfortable to go out from Edinburgh to Woodhall in a sedan chair, for thus he avoided the jolting to which the rough roads would have subjected him. It may be noted that in all the many entries concerning the repairs and alterations of the family coach, there is no mention of springs. The body was doubtless hung to the frame by straps, but even then must have been subject to severe jolts and lurches. His experience in horse dealing and management was of the usual description. Much, how- ever, can be learned of such matters from the Accounts. The price of horse-food, arrangement with Edinburgh stablers, horse-doctoring, and farriers in general, are treated of. The authority of the period was Gervase Markham, whose Way *° get Wealth contained instructions in husbandry, and whose xxxviii ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS Faithful Farrier was published in 1661. Both these works Sir John bought, and using the prescription they contained, administered home-made 'Markham's balls 1 to his sick horses. Two terms applied to horses deserve attention. He mentions his 'basone 1 horse and his 'beld 1 horse. The latter means bald, i.e. whitefaced, as in the s baldfaced stag,** a well-known inn sign. But what is 'basone 1 ? Jamieson gives it, with a white star on forehead or ' baldfaced 1 ; but the word is of French derivation, and signifies a horse with one or more white feet, as in the old rhyme : Balzane un, Cheval commun ; Balzane deux, Cheval de gueux ; Balzane trois, Cheval de bois ; Balzane quatre, Bon a battre. It was believed that white-footed horses dropped their shoes. 1 Besides these terms, we have the 8 haughmiln horse 1 and the 8 walker horse." I do not know if horses were then employed as motive power to machinery ; but the words suggest that they were employed about the ' haugh milne ' or the ' walk mihV Education and Accomplishments. Either fewer books were required then than now, or the same books were handed down from father to son. For the boys were purchased a 6 grammar, 1 6 rudiments, 1 6 rhetoric, 1 Lucian and Florus, Livius Orationes ; and George, in July 1681, when he was a little over fourteen years of age, 'declaimed the privilege bill befor the toun councell. 1 It may be noted that his personal appearance on this occa- sion, doubtless an important one to the lad, was attended to, for he had his hair cut. He was also provided with 1 A gentleman tells me that there existed a popular delusion that a basone horse with four white feet was deemed so worthless that he was allowed to journey free from toll. INTRODUCTION xxxix money, 2 lib 18 sh 0 d , to give to the officers, and 12 sh to give to a poor scholar. Two days before he and his brothers received 14 sh to spend c w n y n went to wash y m selves in y e sea. 1 This, the sole reference to bathing in the book, we mention, not as being specially connected with the 6 declamation, 1 but because it is as good a place to introduce it as anywhere else. William was destined by his father to be his partner and suc- cessor as Clerk of Sasines, and he was sent to college. For him were bought the 6 Minor Poets,'' 6 3 books of LivieJ 6 a divinitie book. 1 Special fees were paid for mathematics and French. The opinion already expressed that Adam was deficient in mental powers is confirmed by an entry (p. 149) showing that the woman who waited on the bairns was deemed capable of teaching him, though he was a lad of twelve at the time. To return, however, to William, the scholar of the family. He passed his examination in October 1699, when a supper was given to the 6 examinators ' (p. 267). William, like his two elder brothers, visited the Continent, and stayed some time at Utrecht, doubtless attending law classes. Very little information is given about the education of the girls. They were taught to play on the virginals and viol. They attended Mr. Fountain's school, where, probably, danc- ing was taught. Another foreigner, M. de Voe, instructed them in music. They had, however, the opportunity for fitting themselves for housekeeping by a study of Ye Lady Kent's Manuall ofPhisicJc and Cookerie, which in 1689 cost Sir John 18 s11 (p. 115), and A Way to get Wealth, by Gervase Markham, already alluded to, which contained 6 The English Housewife,' and 6 The Country Housewife's Garden.' The twelfth edition, in the Guildhall Library, London, was pub- lished in 1668. Sir John himself does not appear to have been a great reader. He certainly spent very little on books. Most of the items under this head of expenditure refer to pamphlets on subjects of interest of the day, such as the Accession of William and Mary to the throne, and the Darien Scheme. xl ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS Taverns and Inns. Taverns are so frequently mentioned in the Accounts, and evidently played such an important part in the social life of the gentry at the time, that a few remarks on them seem advisable. It is a fact worth notice that while London and other English cities and towns were well supplied with inns distinguished by signs, sign-bearing inns were a rarity in Scotland. Only two such in Edinburgh are mentioned in the Accounts. The 4 Bull ' (p. 153), and the 4 Half-Moon ' (p. 291), and one in the country, the 4 Bow of Bear 1 (p. 58), akin to the old English sign, the 4 Barley Mow'' or rick. Taverns known by their owner's names were the usual resort of the gentry, and our readers will find a great number mentioned. These taverns were used for consultations with doctors and lawyers, and for settling business matters as well as for social gather- ings, when 4 sealling, 1 4 brothering, 1 4 welcomes ' and 4 foys ' (farewells), 4 good lucks,' and 4 high jinks' 1 were indulged in. They were also kept open on Sundays. Concluding Remarks. It has only been possible to deal with a few out of the many subjects on which the Accounts throw light. Most readers will find much to interest them in those particular subjects which attract them. For those who can find nothing worth noting an introduction is not required. There are, however, two matters in which an editor should give all the assistance possible to the clear understanding of such a work as this — in fact, it would not be complete without a glossary and a list of the names of those whose territorial designations alone are given. It is not very easy to compile a complete glossary. It re- quires more discrimination than I possess to decide what words are sufficiently well known to be omitted. To include all words which are not now in everyday use would be injudicious. INTRODUCTION xli I have therefore done my best in selecting such as seem to require an explanation ; that explanation has proved in many cases beyond my powers to supply. I have found Jamieson's Dictionary imperfect, yet he is an acknowledged authority on the subject. I have carried my glossary about, and picked up scraps of information as best I could, and have been much assisted by my old friend W. G. Roy, Esq., S.S.C. I print it with the full admission that it is incomplete, but with the feeling that I have done my very best to make it useful. It will be found at page 474. The other matter may be briefly explained. Sir John Foulis generally made use of the territorial designation of his friends. Thus 4 Sauchie ' stood for 6 John Glass of Sauchie.' It was the practice of the day ; but it is not always easy to ascertain who owned, at the date of the entry, the estates that are named, for some of them were frequently changing hands. The list is, therefore, very incomplete. Much information can be gathered from the 6 retours, 1 and I must thank the Rev. A. T. Grant, Leven, and the Rev. Walter Macleod for their assist- ance, which has enabled me to make the list far more com- plete than it would otherwise have been. It will be found at page 471. In the index the territorial designation as written in the Accounts is given. A few words will suffice to describe the appearance and con- dition of the original Account Books. There are now existing seven volumes, labelled 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, volumes 2 and 3 having been lost. Volumes 1 and 9 have been printed in extenso, but on account of frequent repetitions, unimportant items have been left out in the transcript of the other volumes. Each book measures 7 J inches by 3 inches, and is about J inch thick, bound in vellum, with flap and leather lace to lie round it. The book containing the genealogical matter is a hundred years older than the others. It measures 8| inches by 6 inches, and is about f inch thick. A facsimile of the Bannatyne arms and device, drawn by George Bannatyne, on the title-page, xlii ACCOUNT BOOK OF SIR JOHN FOULIS is given in the Memorials of George Bannatyne, edited by Sir Walter Scott. A ninth book, measuring 5f inches by 3f inches, and \ inch thick, with vellum covers and flap, contains some notes on arithmetic made apparently by a schoolboy, and also the ex- penditure on a journey to London in 1687. As it is uncertain on whose account or by whom the expenditure was made, it has not been included in this volume. By the kind permission of Dr. Foulis it has been printed in the Scottish Antiquary (vol. viii. p. 152). These books are now in the possession of James Foulis, Esq., M.D., Edinburgh, who is a direct descen- dant of Sir John Foulis of Ravelston. The Scottish History Society are deeply obliged to Dr. Foulis for allowing his ancestor's Accounts to be printed, and I must record my sincere thanks to him for information he has most kindly given me.
