Description

1789 1ed Anecdotes Ancient & Modern Superstitions Andrews SIGNET Provenance

James Pettit Andrews was an 18th-century English historian who is known for his accounts of English history and the royal crown. However, he also wrote satirical works including ‘Anecdotes Ancient and Modern’ which was a collection of gossip stories, poetry, and nonsensical, humor curiosities. Lowndes even notes that this work is “an amusing and humorous collection”.

Andrews covers a multitude of topics including books and games, hermits and monastics (including lazy monks!), wagers and gambling, superstitions, and Andrews’ own remarks on women!

THE SOCIETY OF WRITERS TO THE SIGNET

The Society of Writers to Her Majesty’s Signet is a private society of Scottish solicitors, dating back to 1594 and part of the College of Justice.

Writers to the Signet originally had special privileges in relation to the drawing up of documents which required to be signeted, but these have since disappeared and the Society is now an independent, non-regulatory association of solicitors.

The Society maintains the Category A listed Signet Library, part of the Parliament House complex in Edinburgh, and members of the Society are entitled to the postnominal letters WS.
