1 MS. A is not divided into chapters, but MS. I is, and the
divisions and contents of the chapters have been taken from the
latter MS. The Scotch in the contents of the chapters is as old
as the text. It is probable, therefore, that the division into
chapters had been made at an early period with a view to publica¬
tion by printing. A conjecture is made in the Introduction why the
Chronicles were not printed by their author.
