- Summary:
- "A check-list of announcements and keepsakes of The Roxburghe Club, together with those of the Zamorano Club when they are pertinent to Roxburghers. It complements, and in one small respect duplicates, the Chronology of Twenty-five Years, published in 1953, which recorded the announcements of meetings.These we have repeated here and added those since 1953... Thus this compilation is (we hope) a complete record of all printed matter pertaining to The Roxburghe Club over the past forty years."--Page vi.
