Thomas Thomson (1768-1852), record scholar and advocate, was the first deputy clerk register of Scotland and played an important role in making available early Scottish legal and parliamentary records to scholars in the early 19th century. The publication appears to have been specially printed for the Record Commission based in London (the Record Commission is the collective name given to a series of six Royal Commissions on the Public Records appointed between 1800 and 1831, the last one lapsing in 1837) and can be regarded as marking the start of an investigation into Thomson's financial mismanagement of Commission money with regard to the various publications he was supervising and his payment of staff working under him.
