Tracts of the learned and celebrated antiquarian Sir Thomas Urquhart of Cromarty Videlizet, I. A peculiar promptuary of time; wherein is displayed a most exact Directory for all particular Chronologies in any Family whatsoever. II. The true pedigree and lineal Descent of the most antient and honourable Family of the Urquharts, in the house of Cromarty, from the creation of the World until the year of God 1652: with a Continuation of said Genealogy down to the present Time, extracted from the Records of the Lyon-Office. III. A curious dissertation on the universal language. IV. A vindication of the honour of Scotland, in the Characters of several hundreds of Scotsmen, his contemporaries, celebrated both at home and abroad for their Wit, Learning, or Military Prowess; in which is contained an Account (much more complete than any hitherto published) of the Life and Death of the admirable Crichton of Clunie: The whole interspersed with many curious and interesting Particulars relative to Scotland, the Clans, and other renowned Scotsmen, not taken notice of by any other Writer; and tending to illustrate many Passages in our History, hitherto very obscure
