A number of books owned by the family were acquired with the manuscript papers. Most of these books have been catalogued as part of the National Library's Rare Book Collection, with a suitable provenance note. A very small number have been catalogued for the general stacks of the Library--again, with a provenance note. Three books, from the second accession, remain with the manuscript papers: Alexander Mudie's Scotiae indiculum (London, 1682), Byron's Don Juan (London, 1826), and an unidentified edition of Samuel Butler's Hudibras.
