French translation by `M de la Chapelle`, i.e. N P Besset de la Chapelle, of the Appendix (of relevant documents) to the ‘History of Scotland’ by William Robertson.
From the references to the parts of the ‘History’ to which the documents refer it is clear that the translation is not from the first edition of 1759 but from the fourth, of 1761: Besset de la Chapelle`s translation of the complete ‘History’ was first published (in three volumes) in 1764. The manuscript contains numerous amendments in the same hand throughout: it is not clear whether or not this is in the translator`s autograph.
