                       SCOTTISH SCRAPBOOK
                            Inventory

Abstract:      Scrapbook of clippings about literary and general
           topics.  Included are articles, jokes, poems, accounts
           of foreign travel, and biographical information. 
           Clippings appear to be from Scottish, English, and
           American periodicals, chiefly from the 1840s with some
           from the 1850s.  They were pasted on top of records of
           accounts, 1776-1777 and 1783-1784, which appear to
           have been kept in the neighborhood of Strathaven
           (called Straven here), southeast of Glasgow.  The
           names appearing most frequently are Thomson and
           Currie; it is not clear who kept the accounts or their
           purpose.
