Manuscript of the 'Memoirs of Sir Henry Slingsby From 1638 to 1648', which was used by Sir Walter Scott in his edition of 'Original memoirs, written during the Great Civil War: being the life of Sir Henry Slingsby, and memoirs of Capt. Hodgson. With notes. &c'.
Manuscript, seventeenth century, of 'Diurnal of occurrents, 1513-1572', based, perhaps indirectly, on the same original as the Pollok Manuscript, published as ‘A diurnal of remarkable occurrents’.
The manuscript differs considerably from the Pollok Manuscript; in parts it is fuller, but it ends in 1572 (page 299 of the Bannatyne volume).
A note of the donor (folio ii) suggests it is one of the Demnilne Manuscripts.
