Copies made by James Keay of Snaigow, circa 1722-1730, of legal works.
Copy, 18th century, of ‘Ane Essay upon Tiends`, an anonymous essay in six chapters.
Internal evidence suggests that the original essay was written circa 1732. It begins on folio 1, and is followed by a discussion on `patronage` (folio 28 verso), apparently a memorial by C Talbot for an unnamed litigant; and a copy ‘Memorial for Mr Thomas Linning, Min[?]. at Walstoun` (folio 30). The original of this memorial must have been written before Linning`s death in 1731.
