The volume contains miscellaneous historical notes, 18th and early 19th centuries, many by Martha Fletcher and her father Henry (on military matters and against the union of 1707); also an essay on Machiavelli, notes by Lord Milton (presumably lecture notes from Leyden) on the Roman constitution, continuation of the autobiography of the 4th Earl of Panmure (see MS.17804), and an obituary of General John Fletcher.
