This article appears in Volume V23, Page 406 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROBERTSON, JOSEPH (1810-1866) , Scottish antiquary, was born at Aberdeen on the 17th of May 181o, the son of a small shopkeeper. He was educated in Marischal College in Aberdeen and was for some years engaged in literary and news-
paper
 
work
  there and in Glasgow and Edinburgh. In 1839 he helped to found the
Spalding
  Club, organized to publish the historical, genealogical, topographical and literary remains of the north-eastern counties of
Scotland
 , and he edited eight of its thirty-eight volumes. In 1853 he was appointed curator of the historical and antiquarian department of the General
Register
 
House
 , Edinburgh, hitherto a subordinate and unimportant office, but which, in his hands, became of the first consequence to the interests of antiquarian literature in
Scotland
 . His
inventory
  of the personal property and jewels of Mary Queen of Scots, prefaced by a
paper
  of
great
  learning and research, and his essays on Scottish architecture, preceded his greatest
work
 , published by the Bannatyne Club (1866), Concilia Scotiae, Ecclesiae Scoticanae Statuta. In 1864 the University of Edinburgh conferred upon him the honorary degree of LL.D. He died on the 13th of December 1866.
