Scope and content

Many of these books will have been acquired by Isaac Bayley Balfour.

System of arrangement
As this series is being created and brought together, the notes will be grouped by Regius Keeper giving the lectures, using three digit codes, which may then revert to numbers in the sequence at a later date, the idea being to have the sequence run chronologically.
