Watercolour paintings, by Thomas Brown of Waterhaughs and Lanfine, Advocate.
The paintings are chiefly of Edinburgh and other places in Scotland; several were made in Corfu and Malta, and some in Italy, Sicily, and other Continental countries. According to a note of the donor (Adv.MS.34.8.1, folio iii), they were probably made between 1830 and 1850.
They are mounted - apparently not in chronological, and certainly not in topographical, order - in three albums, each of which contains a list of contents at the beginning.
‘Wizard Peter’ by Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe (Edinburgh, 1834), with notes and corrections by the author, and a presentation inscription to James Gibson Craig on the half title-page.
There are several manuscript insertions, including Charles Sharpe's draft of five verses, written on the back of a letter, 1832, from the printseller Hugh Paton (folio 2), and explanatory notes and variant readings by James Gibson Craig (folio 3).

Work in three volumes by Richard Augustine Hay on the ecclesiastical (Adv.MS.34.1.8) and secular (Adv.MSS.34.1.9(i)-34.1.9(ii)) antiquities of Scotland.
The work is in the same hand as, and was begun probably as the consequence to, Hay’s ‘Diplomatum veterum collectio` (Adv.MS.34.1.10) in 1700 (the date quoted on each title page) and completed in 1707 or later (Adv.MS.34.1.9(ii), folio 62).

The material described here would appear to relate to further revision by John Philp Wood of his revised and corrected edition of 1813 of the ‘Peerage of Scotland’.
