Notes of David Hume`s lectures on Scots Law at Edinburgh University, taken by an unknown student; volume 3., 1822.

 Item
Identifier: Adv.MS.25.6.10(III)

Scope and Contents

From the Series:

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.
