The work was edited by Alan Bold (Edinburgh, 1984), from a manuscript in Edinburgh University Library and a typescript in the People's Palace Museum, Glasgow. There are sections from several different manuscripts and typescript copies, followed (folio 60) by passages from pages 29-30 and 88-90 of the published text, possibly intended for use in a speech or an article. Also included are some pages on aesthetics in Scotland which do not appear in the edition (folio 66).
