Supplement and additions to the ‘Etymological dictionary of the Scottish language’ by John Jamieson.
`Suppletory Notes To Sir George Mackenzies Institutions by Mr. Alexander Bayne, Advocate Professor of the Scots Law at Edinburgh.` These are apparently a student`s notes of Bayne`s lectures, although neither the name of the writer nor the date of dictation is given.
The notes are almost identical with the text published as ‘Notes for the Use of the Students of the Municipal Law in the University of Edinburgh: Being a Supplement to Sir George Mackenzie`s Institutions’. They are followed, as in several copies of the dictates in Edinburgh University Library, by notes of Bayne`s lectures on Criminal Law; these differ considerably from his ‘Institutions of the Criminal Law of Scotland’; for a much fuller version see Adv.MS.25.3.12.

The manuscript, probably a contemporary account written circa 1630, is almost identical with the narrative of Sir Robert Gordon of Gordonstoun in his ‘Genealogical History of the Earldom of Sutherland’, pages 267-276, which was written originally circa 1630.
