Scope and Contents

The annotations, some of which are extensive, consist mostly of additional information not available either to Keith or to Russell, and of corrections of errors. A few of the annotations (which are all in Robertson`s hand) are written on extra sheets of paper tipped in at relevant places, but most are written in the margins of the text. Robertson`s signature, dated Edinburgh 1836, is on the recto of the leaf preceding the half-title.

Dates: 1824, and after.
