Apparently incomplete collection of correspondence and papers of William Marshall and of members of his family, together with related papers compiled by David J Mackenzie, Sheriff-substitute of Glasgow.
William Marshall, who was factor to the Duke of Gordon, was known in his own day as a Scottish fiddler and composer of strathspeys, and an inventor. The collection contains almost nothing of musical interest, and the largest single part consists of letters and copies of letters of his sons whilst on active service in India and in the Peninsular War, written to him and to other members of the family.
Correspondence and papers of the publisher, Robert Cadell, and of his grandchildren in the Stevenson family.
Robert Cadell (1788-1849) was the partner of Archibald Constable, and, after the dissolution of that partnership in 1825, the sole publisher of Walter Scott's novels. His papers reflect his personal and business relations with Scott and other authors, as well as his family affairs.
Diaries and notebooks of Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick L Maitland.
Historical and genealogical notebook.
Includes extracts from works of George Crawford, Sir James Dalrymple and Sir J Scott of Scotstorvet.
