| Abstract: | The full memoirs of Sir Daniel Fleming, long thought to be lost, have recently been recovered and are being published this year in the Society's Record Series, in an edition prepared by Scott Sowerby and Noah McCormack. In this article, the two co-editors offer some reflections on the value of the text to scholars, especially those interested in the history of Cumberland and Westmorland in the 17th century. They contend that the leitmotif of Fleming's life and work was his quest for order, as seen in his strict supervision of his family, his firm hand as a magistrate, and his systematic cataloguing of the history and antiquities of his region. | ||||||
