Manuscripts, chiefly autograph, and typescripts of the novel 'Kingisbyres or The end of an old song' by John Dick Scott, which was published as ‘The end of an old song’.
Scope and Contents
According to a note on MS.9913, folio i verso, part II was written in 1931, part IV in 1943, and parts I, III and V in 1947. The manuscript (MS.9913) is incomplete and does not entirely correlate with the typescript (MS.9914). For example part V, chapter 1 of the typescript is different from the manuscript version, and the latter half of part III, chapter 6 is missing from the manuscript version and is included in the typescript version as part II, chapter 6.
