Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Dignities in the Peerage of Scotland The limitations contained in Letters Patent or Charters creating Scottish Titles of Honour vary so much, and special destinations are so numerous, that few of the Dignities in the Peerage of Scotland which appear at the present time to be either dormant through non-claim, or to be suspended in consequence of attainders for High Treason, can be in truth extinct. It has, therefore, been thought that short accounts of such Dignities might prove interesting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
