Fragment of a copy, being pages 19-124 (containing Title I to Title VII of Book 1) of the first edition of ‘An Institute of the Law of Scotland’ by John Erskine, containing numerous additions throughout in an unidentified contemporary hand.
Many of the additions in the outer margins are merely chapter headings, whilst most of those in the upper and lower margins are notes of legal cases heard after the publication of the book, as far as 1821 (folio 175). The longest additions are written on fragments or entire sheets of paper tipped in throughout. There are also a few later additions written in pencil in another hand.
