Extremely varied subject matter, including proclamations, news items, scaffold speeches, satires, political and religious controversies, and Jacobite risings. Also military campaigns, such as Napoleon's threatened invasion of England in 1803. Part of the Crawford Collections on deposit from the Balcarres Heritage Trust.
