Early nineteenth century Law lecture notes, possibly taken down by John Auld, 3 vols

The 3 volumes of Law notes are composed of:

• [Vol. I]. Notes beginning Tuesday 22 November 1831 with Lecture I, and self-numbered pp.1-188, with Additions VI-IX
• [Vol. II] Notes beginning with Lecture XXVIII, and self-numbered pp.189-439, with Additions I-II
• Vol. III. 'Notes on Conveyancing' as spine title. 'Heritable Rights'. Notes beginning Friday 2 March [1832], with Lecture LIII, and self-numbered pp.440-643, with additional unnumbered pages

There are modern book-plates taped into Vols.II and III: Glasgow 12 / Dundas and Wilson / 9-10-98.

It is uncertain where these Law lecture notes were taken - Edinburgh or Glasgow or elsewhere - and it is uncertain who wrote them down. The student may have been John Auld. This name is noted in pencil on one of the volumes. A student John Auld was indeed attending courses at Edinburgh during this period, between 1829 and 1838, taking courses consecutively on Law (1,2, and 3) and Lit. (6).

Open to bona fide researchers, but please contact repository for details in advance of visit.
