Series
Identifier: Adv.MSS.3.1.1-3.1.9
Scope and Contents
The `Topographical Dictionary` was to have formed a supplement to George Chalmers` ‘Caledonia’, but was never published. In contrast with the earlier draft of the dictionary in Adv.MSS.8.1.4-8.1.6 the arrangement here is completely alphabetical. A proof of the first 4 pages only of the introduction is included in Adv.MS.3.1.1, folios iii-iv. The notes, Adv.MSS.3.1.7-3.1.9, only occur here.
