Copy of Sir Thomas Hope of Craighall, 'Major Practicks', Sir Thomas Nicolson’s abridgement of Sir Peter Wedderburn's 'Practiques', and a copy of Sir Thomas Wallace of Craigie, Lord Justice Clerk, ‘Collections’.
Copy of Stair`s ‘Institutions of the Law of Scotland’ made apparently in 1677 from a text written probably in or about 1666.
Copy of Stair`s ‘Institutions of the Law of Scotland’ made in 1673 for John Smith of Brousterland, apparently from a text written in or about 1662.
The general arrangement is the same as that of the first printed edition of 1681 (except that Titles 18 and 19 appear in reverse order) but the text is rather shorter, many of the decisions quoted are earlier, and the titles are divided into fewer paragraphs. It is followed by an index of subjects discussed (page 409), and a contents list of each Title (page 413), both written apparently in different hands, neither being that of the text. The volume lacks apparently one leaf at the end.

Correspondence and papers, chiefly 19th century, of the Paul family; including some papers of the family of Erskine of Alva.
Robert Paul, manager of the Commercial Bank of Scotland, married Charlotte, the daughter of John Erskine of Cambus, advocate, in 1814. The connection of the Pauls with the Erskines of Alva, and later with the Erskine Murrays, remained strong, and the antiquarian interests of the Reverend Robert Paul, Free Church minister at Dollar, led him to examine many of the Erskine papers. Some of these remained with the Paul’s and now form part of the collection.
