TitleGeorge Home: draft manuscript catalogue of Arbuthnott muniments
Datec. 1822
Extent1 item
Description"MS volume of inventory of writings belonging to Lord Arbuthnott. Heavily corrected and scored through in pencil as if subsequently copied. It is probable that this was Home's draft for the large two-volume inventory of the Arbuthnott muniments. Its main interest lies in the fact that, while the fair copy of the inventory lists only nineteen bundles (up to 1700), this draft continues to bundle 20 and beyond. It is possible that Home did not have sufficient time to enter all his notes into the main copy of the inventory" (NRAS list)
