A series of bound volumes containing transcripts from books and articles, and transcripts of letters and other primary sources, compiled by C.A.Wurzburg during the course of his research on Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. The place names eg. London, relate to the place the records were transcribed from, not necessarily the contents of the records.
At one point C.A.Wurzburg wrote a letter published in The Times newspaper, appealing for information on, and recollections of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles.
