Scope and Contents
The manuscript notes are for the greatest part extensive interleavings in the printed volume. Those on the first Title of Part 1 are late copies, probably from Adv.MS.25.3.15, which is also an interleaved volume of the same work, annotated by Lord Royston, similar to this but not identical. There is a letter to Thomas Thomson, Deputy Clerk Register, pasted on the inside of the front cover; a note on the manuscript by George Neilson (folio ii verso); and an index by Neilson (folio 549). There is also an address by Neilson entitled, 'Nugae Curiales' (folio 458), 'read to XIII Club, 15 December, 1911'.
