Notes

First issued, evidently made up of monthly parts. Vol. i has 1 l., p. iv, 430; vol. ii 1 l., p. ii, 472. On p. [i]-iv of vol. i dedication to Queen Victoria, signed by H. Paton and 'Introductory Notice' dated Nov. 1837. On p. [i]-ii of vol. ii 'Notice' beginning 'With this, the concluding part' signed by H. Paton and dated Dec. 1838. No index, though one is mentioned in 'Intro. Notice' to vol. i. Paton seems to have been publisher rather than editor. According to DNB xxx. 249, the editor was James Maidment and the biographic sketches were mainly by James Paterson.
Copy 1 Vol. 1 Note: In vol. i p. 79-90 wanting.
