Notes on part of a series of lectures on Scottish Law given by David Hume, Baron of the Exchequer, probably in 1803, which is apparently the latest date quoted in the text (folio 200); the fifth (folio iii) of a series of six or more volumes.

 Item
Identifier: Adv.MS.81.6.42

Scope and Contents

The notes are written on one side of the leaf only (watermark dated 1798), in an unidentified hand: brief additions are written in pencil on the versos of a few of the leaves by `WRR` (folio 38 verso), apparently William Rose Robinson of Clermiston, who was admitted advocate in 1804, and who was no doubt the next owner of the notes. A summary index of the subjects covered in the volume is written in the original hand at folio iii.
