"The ... mss. are without name or date, but contain internal evidence of having been written by a member of the Hamilton family about the end of the 17th century, and certainly prior to the year 1703 ... the editor has come to the conclusion from the internal evidence ... that it was Mr. William Hamilton of Edinburgh ...who was their author. He died about the year 1712 at Killileagh Castle."--Introd. Includes index. Physical description: viii, 166, cv, 4 p. : geneal. table ; 24 cm. more |
