Autograph manuscripts of dramas and other works of Sir David Erskine.
Series
Identifier: Adv.MSS.5.1.16-5.1.21
Scope and Contents
The majority of the works are unpublished, and those which are published present considerable divergences. All the plays were written for the stage, and in some cases the names of the actors appear in the list of dramatis personae. Adv.MS.5.1.16, (i) and (ii) seem to be unconnected with the remainder of the collection.
