John and his son amassed an amazing collection of miscellaneous material – from literary quotes to lists of house chattels, all copied into this book (over 1,600 pages) – probably started as a schoolmaster’s compendium (recently digitized). We shall view it and other Scottish treasures held in the Alexander Turnbull Library. Info: https://wellyscots.wordpress.com
