Account of the battle of Waterloo 1815 by Sergeant Clark of the Second Regiment of Dragoons (the Royal Scots Greys).
The manuscript is headed "extracts from a Journal by Sergeant Clark Scotch Greys" (folio 1), but it appears to be a continuous narrative. It appears to be complete, but it is not known how long after the events described or in whose hand this manuscript was written.
“Alexander Cummings’s narrative”, a contemporary manuscript, containing copies of letters and other memorials of Sir Alexander Cuming, 2nd Baronet of Culter, Advocate, and Chief of the Cherokee nation, who died in 1775.

Apparently incomplete collection of correspondence and papers of William Marshall and of members of his family, together with related papers compiled by David J Mackenzie, Sheriff-substitute of Glasgow.
William Marshall, who was factor to the Duke of Gordon, was known in his own day as a Scottish fiddler and composer of strathspeys, and an inventor. The collection contains almost nothing of musical interest, and the largest single part consists of letters and copies of letters of his sons whilst on active service in India and in the Peninsular War, written to him and to other members of the family.
