Series
Identifier: Adv.MSS.35.4.16-35.4.17
Scope and Contents
The papers are in some confusion and many others dispersed. Some (Adv.MS.25.9.10) were acquired by the Advocates` Library in 1881 as part of the Riddell Papers; and others (Acc.5022 and Acc.5694) were acquired by the National Library of Scotland in 1970 and 1972.
The purposes for which the papers were originally compiled and the circumstances of their dispersal are alike unknown.
