Copy of Stair`s ‘Institutions of the Law of Scotland’ made in 1673 for John Smith of Brousterland, apparently from a text written in or about 1662.
The general arrangement is the same as that of the first printed edition of 1681 (except that Titles 18 and 19 appear in reverse order) but the text is rather shorter, many of the decisions quoted are earlier, and the titles are divided into fewer paragraphs. It is followed by an index of subjects discussed (page 409), and a contents list of each Title (page 413), both written apparently in different hands, neither being that of the text. The volume lacks apparently one leaf at the end.
