`Chronicle of Perth`, 1210-1668, also known as Mercer`s Chronicle and Fleming`s Chronicle, with other documents relating to the burgh of Perth.
The `Chronicle` was compiled probably between 1600 and 1668 by more than one person. Though attributed to John Mercer, town clerk of Perth, only the latter part appears to be his work. From 1660 it is almost entirely a register of burials.
Other items in the volume are a fragment of a legal memorial, circa 1597, concerning the foundation of the King James VI Hospital in Perth (folio 1), and a group of letters concerning Royal Burgh affairs (1614-1628), all copies (folio 20).

The first 2,300 items bear numbers given in the National Galleries. Certain letters, etc., have been retained for exhibition in the National Portrait Gallery; the series is therefore not continuous (see MS.595).
Collection of copies of letters and papers concerning the formation of the Irish Treasury Board and the procedures to be adopted by it, with notes on the procedures of the British Treasury.
