Curiosities of Glasgow Citizenship

by George Stewart (1881)

Rod Neep's Archive CD Books Project sells facsimiles of old books on CD-ROM. I have made the following limited index to the Curiosities of Glasgow Citizenship - it is of interest to anyone with Glasgow trader ancestors in the 1700s.
See Rod Neep's site for more information or to order the CD, or see other books I have indexed.
