Manuscript of ‘Decisions of the Court of Session MDCCLXXXI-MDCCCXXII, in the Form of a Dictionary’, collected by David Hume when he was Professor of Scots Law at Edinburgh, arranged and prepared for publication when he was Baron of the Exchequer, and finally published posthumously in 1839.

 Series
Identifier: Adv.MSS.81.7.1-81.7.19
Scope and Contents

The only difference from the published work is that the cases are not numbered continuously, but internally within each heading, and that there are no indexes (except for a fragment, Adv.MS.81.7.19, folio 207).

In the individual descriptions, the numbers of the cases (as in the published work), the headings, and the pages of the published work are given in that order.

Dates: 1781-1822.
