Papers of David Urquhart : 2B - Manuscripts

II: MANUSCRIPTS.

No section II A exists in the original catalogue; this is because the numbers II B and II C have been used because their contents are on the same subjects as that of I B and I C. II contains some letters in addition to manuscripts.

For additional manuscript material see also: VI 15- 16.

II B: GREECE: 1821- 36 (bulk 1827- 31).

For manuscripts on Greece see also: I B which contains some MS as well as letters; II Misc. and VI 15 for D.U.'s diary from his period in Greece.

For Greece see also: I B and III 13.

Information provided about manuscripts in Greek which has been placed in square brackets has been mainly derived from annotations on the reverse of the manuscripts.
