A homemade bibliography mainly of books of Scottish interest

MacWilliam was the author of several books concerning the Black Watch, and a book-collector. On the front cover the label "H.D. MACWILL[IAM]" is laid down. 230pp., 4to, notebook, soft-covered, front detached, poor condition. In time-honoured fashion, the collector has extracted printed descriptions of books (and some manuscripts and letters) from their catalogues and laid them down (occasional manuscript descriptions), at times (but by no means consistently) naming the bookseller who originally catalogued them. (Backus, Myers & Co., Dunlop, Atkinson, Dunlop are the names which appear in the margin of the first page.) Pp.1-113 fall under the heading "Scotland", followed by "Andrew Lang" (pp.114-120); "Scotland" (p.121); Sir Walter Scott )pp.122-125); [Scotland; Burns; Gipsies; Simon Fraser; Macpherson/ Ossian; Moray; Scott/Burns/ Scotland/Stevenson; Perthshire; Highlands; Autograph Letters (164-174); more Lang; Black Watch (including his own books); Pewter, etc.; Music (Scottish); Miscellaneous (including oddities like a "Papier Mache Cake Basket"; tartan; etc. WITH enclosure: Autograph Letter Signed, W[illiam] Dunlop, bookseller, 52 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, to H.D. MacWilliam, Harrow, 1 Oct. 1915, one page, 8vo, laid down in the front, returning a defective book (Maitland's"Edinburgh", "lacking the most important item" - detail given and underlined) on which MacWilliam has obviously invited an offer. "I have already two copies of your one in stock and must refrain from adding another,especially in these dull times for the book trade" . Also laid down, extracts from Dunlop's earlier letter, saying he would need to see it and giving a bibliographical hint(the importance of a suppressed passage). MacWilliam has also laid down a printed list removed from a catalogue of "Books Specially Wanted" on which he has written "Holland 3-7-17". At the back he has laid down the names and addresses of 8 booksellers (Edinburgh, Carlisle, Birmingham, Exeter, Burnley), mostly removed from catalogues, but two manuscript.
