Notes of David Hume`s lectures on Scots Law at Edinburgh University, taken by an unknown student.
Series
Identifier: Adv.MS.25.6.10(I)-(IV)
Scope and Contents
The main differences from the Stair Society edition are that Part II, Chapters XIV-XVI appear after Chapter VIII (as in Adv.MSS.7.2.4-7.2.17), and that the chapters on Insurance (Adv.MS.81.6.12), and on Teinds and Patronage (Adv.MS.81.6.31) are omitted. For cases where these notes fill gaps in Hume`s manuscript, see the prefaces to the Stair Society edition. This is apparently a fair copy of notes taken at the lectures.
