Excerpt from The Municipal History of the Royal Burgh of Dundee: Compiled From Original and Authentic Documents and Records in the Archives of the Town and Other Sources The Compiler of this Work, having been employed by the Magistrates and Town Council to classify, arrange, and make up an Inventory of the Ancient Charters, Documents, Books, and Papers in the Burgh Archives, so as these might in future be more easily accessible and more carefully preserved, found, in the course of his labours, that many of the documents Were of considerable historical importance. It was thereupon suggested by the then Chief Magistrate, Provost yeaman, that a new History of the Town, compiled from these Documents and Records, would be very interesting and acceptable to the public, which suggestion was accordingly acted upon, and the following pages are the result.
