A volume containing copies of the Edinburgh Almanac for 1757 and 1758 (printed on one side of the leaves only; defective) apparently misbound, together with a much larger number of interleaves and extra leaves, apparently also in disorder. It was used as a common-place book and contains throughout, in a contemporary hand, numerous extracts from printed books, in a number of languages, and notes, on various subjects. The writer is uknown: he seems to have known Colin MacLaurin and the professors at Glasgow, and to have had some connection with Aberdeen. From his acquaintaince with Hebrew he may have been a minister or a member of a university.
