Excerpt from The History of the Collegiate Church and Hospital of the Holy Trinity and the Trinity Hospital, Edinburgh, 1460-1661
Considerable care has been bestowed on an examination of the charters and other original documents in the archives of the City! Bearing upon the subject of the enquiry, and it is believed that the materials to be found in the records of the Town Council during the period over which the examination has been extended, have been well nigh, if not wholly, exhausted.
Apart from the info_rmation thus obtained as to the early history of the existing charity of Trinity Hospital, some collateral information has been gleaned from original sources as to the early provision for the ministers and poor and for the college and schools of Edinburgh.
It would be interesting, and specially useful to those entrusted with the administration of the Trinity Hospital, to have the history of that charity brought down to the present time. For such a work there exist abundant materials subsequent to 1661, more complete and much more easily available than those previous to that date.
