Scope and Contents
At Adv.MS.72.2.23, page 458, and Adv.MS.72.2.24, page 549, is the identical subscription: “This English and Gaelic Dictionary consisting of four volumes folio in manuscript half bound was composed by Alexr. McLaurin / Stabler in Edinr. N.B. The English words were taken from Thomas Sheridan’s pronouncing Dictionary in two volumes octavo”. This seems most likely to refer to the edition of the General Dictionary of the English Language published at Dublin in 1784.
