This manuscript, which is signed by George Martine, appears to have been written between 1683 and 1685 (see dates on folios 1, 2 verso), and to have been used by him in revising and enlarging his original work. It is probably the copy referred to in a manuscript of the same work in Edinburgh University Library. It contains many marginal notes which are apparently in Martine's hand, including a reference to an event in 1689 (folio 70). A modern description of the manuscript and of its relationship to that in the University (Laing MS.III.215) is given at folio 1.
