Philadelphia:University of Pennsylvania Press. (1962). 1st edition. 334pp with folding map at end. Hardcover with dust jacket.  A very good, clean copy, inside and out, with a very good, slightly soiled dust jacket. *"Symbolic of the rise of the middle class throughout Europe in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries is the unusually rich and varied life of Robert Barton of Over Barnton. In his economic, social, and political activities, Barton can almost be said to epitomize Scotland in the first four decades of the sixteenth century."...dj.
