‘Historical and Critical Enquiry into the Evidence ... against Mary Queen of Scots’ by William Tytler (Edinburgh, 1760), containing many critical marginalia throughout in the hand of Sir David Dalrymple, 3rd Baronet, Lord Hailes.
Scope and Contents
A brief title made up from printed scraps (possibly of leaves of a sale-catalogue) is pasted to the second flyleaf, and a letter written by J T Gibson Craig on paper watermarked 1843 restoring the book to Thomas Thomson is tipped in at the second endpaper.
The book was rebound apparently during the nineteenth century when some of the marginalia were damaged by the cropping of the outer margins of the printed pages. A small circular label inscribed '1963 Ac 6' in a nineteenth-century hand is pasted inside the front cover.
