From the Series:
By far the majority of the notes are in volume i, volume ii being quite lightly marked. Some of these are quite lengthy, and many express disagreement with Maitland. One note, at page 142, is dated 1788, another, at page 227, refers to 1791; the rest are undated.
The only additions to the printed leaves are a scrap of paper tipped in between pages 414-415, a prospectus for Macpherson`s edition of ‘Orygynall Cronykyl of Scotland’, 1795, tipped in between pages 756-757, and a fragment of a printed leaf tipped in between pages 1284-1285.
