The manuscript is written by a single hand, competent but unremarkable, and in this respect comparable to many medical hands such as that of Adv.MS.72.1.13, folios 17-24. No marginalia save for ‘ye men of ……’ and ‘…Mc….’(?) scrawled in what is presumably a late 18th-century hand at folio 1 recto.

The manuscript is described thus in John Mackenzie’s inventory of 1803: ‘A large quarto Vellum Manuscript in Prose, containing 6 Leaves, with two Columns in a page, not stitched. Signed on the first and last leaves, London January 5th 1803.

Ewen MacLachlan’s transcript of folio 2 verso, column b, line 41 to folio 3 recto, column b, line 9 is at Adv.MS.72.3.5, page 258, line 10.

The contents are as follows.
