Descripción del artículo del vendedor

3pp., folio. On two loose leaves, each with one torn edge. The blank reverse of the second leaf is addressed in manuscript to 'The Bank of Scotland, | Edinbr', with two postmarks and pencil docketting. The heading is followed by a long list of those present, beginning with 'Mr THOMAS MILLAR, for the Incorporation of Skinners and Furriers' and ending with 'ALEXANDER WRIGHT, Esq. chose Preses'.

The third page carries a mandate form, which has not been completed. According to a parliamentary report, 'In January 1836, the Right honourable H. Labouchere, Vice-President of the Board of Trade, visited Edinburgh and Leith, in compliance with the wishes of Lord Melbourne, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as expressed in their letter to him of 25th September 1835, on the subject of the financial affairs of the city'. Labouchere subsequently produced a report, recommending the restructuring of the 'debt now due on account of the docks at Leith'. No other copy traced.…
