David Dobson
Reg. Price: $17
2000, 5˝x8˝, paper, alpha., 154 pp, Heritage Books
Burgesses were a self perpetuating oligarchy representing a minority of the population and comprised of merchants and craftsmen. Only the burgesses had the power to vote, operate businesses, and to trade within the burghs, while only the burgesses of Royal Burghs could engage in overseas trade. This book attempts to identify who were the burgesses of Fife of the 18th century on the eve of industrialization of the economy.

Scottish Emigration to Colonial America, 1607-1785
David Dobson
Reg. Price: $19.95
280 pages, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 1 photo, paperback / softcover, University of Georgia Press
Before 1650, only a few hundred Scots had trickled into the American colonies. However, by the early 1770s the number had risen to 10,000 per year and would reach a total of around 150,000 by 1785. Who were these Scots? What did they do? Where did they settle? What factors motivated their emigration? David Dobson's work draws on original research on both sides of the Atlantic to comprehensively identify the Scottish contribution to the early settlement of North America.

Reviews
"Solidly researched and well-written." —Eighteenth-Century Scotland
"A useful survey that undoubtedly will be the standard work on the subject for a good while to come." —North Carolina Historical Review
"A brief but impressive piece of scholarship that is particularly valuable for its incorporation of Canada and the West Indies into the discussion of the Scottish presence in America." —Georgia Historical Quarterly
"Dobson . . . seems to have visited most of the major local and national archives on both sides of the Atlantic and to have compiled a vaster array of published materials about Scottish migrants to the Americas than any previous writer." —William and Mary Quarterly

David Dobson
Reg. Price: $13
(1993, 1995), 1998, 5˝x8˝, paper, alphabetical, 97 pp, Heritage Books
Until the rise of transatlantic trade and the Industrial Revolution of the eighteenth century the Lothian ports of Leith and Bo’ness played the leading role in Scotland’s coastal and overseas commerce. During the seventeenth century Leith maintained its traditional position of being Scotland’s single most important port as far as trade was concerned. Ships, both Scottish and foreign, would sail from Leith to destinations as diverse as the Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Guinea. This booklet, based on research in mainly primary source material, attempts to identify many of the skippers and crews from the Lothians of the seventeenth century.
