APPENDIX A
NOURSE DOCUMENTS IN B.L. MS. ADDL. 38729

Note: this is a list of the documents which include an agreement or other papers which give the terms of a contract. There are a few other receipts in this MS. which cannot be related to agreements, and have not, therefore been used or listed. In the last column * indicates that the book has not been traced; I have searched the catalogs of the British Library, Bodleian Library, Oxford, and University Library, Cambridge, and the National Union Catalog, together with appropriate subject bibliographies, and Watt's Bibliotheca Britannica.
