Book excerpt: Excerpt from View of the History, Constitution, and Funds, of the Trades' House of Glasgow AT what period the Trades' House was first formed, would at this distance of time be diflicult to investigate, as no records appear extant prior to the year 1605; but certain it is, that before this year, the Trades of Glasgow were considered in the light of one great body corporate, and had the property of an Hospital belonging to them, in that capacity, as is evident from the terms of the Let ter of Guildry in said year, as well as from Charters in favour of several of the Incorporations, of a date long prior to that period. Previous to the date of this Letter of Guildry, 1605, it appears that various disputes and contentions had arisen between the Merchant Rank and Trades' Rank, on ac count of their opposite interests and pretensions, which produced great disorders in the City; in order to put an end to thwe, the Magistrates and Ministers of the City interposed, and prevailed upon the contending parties to submit the whole difl'erences then subsisting between them, and the farther regulation of their Societies, to the determination of Arbiters mutually chosen.
