Notes of David Hume`s lectures on Scots Law at Edinburgh University, taken by an unknown student.
The main differences from the Stair Society edition are that Part II, Chapters XIV-XVI appear after Chapter VIII (as in Adv.MSS.7.2.4-7.2.17), and that the chapters on Insurance (Adv.MS.81.6.12), and on Teinds and Patronage (Adv.MS.81.6.31) are omitted. For cases where these notes fill gaps in Hume`s manuscript, see the prefaces to the Stair Society edition. This is apparently a fair copy of notes taken at the lectures.

The notes are on passages, sometimes consecutive but often widely separated, of Herodotus book 1, and Livy books 1-4, chapter 6; the manuscript is incomplete at the end. They are explanatory of the subject-matter, in Herodotus especially proper names, in Livy especially constitutional matters; other ancient authors are freely cited, and once (folio 6 verso) Abraham Crawley is quoted.

The notes are written on one side of the leaf only (watermark dated 1798), in an unidentified hand: brief additions are written in pencil on the versos of a few of the leaves by `WRR` (folio 38 verso), apparently William Rose Robinson of Clermiston, who was admitted advocate in 1804, and who was no doubt the next owner of the notes.

An inverted series of notes contains a glossary or vocabulary to the oration of Isocrates to Demonicus, sections 1-9, also very incomplete (inverted folios 1-12).
