Papers, 1745, is voluminous, including the documents of the Barons of\ud
the Exchequer in Scotland concerning all those estates forfeited in\ud
1747 as well as those relating to forfeited estates that were annexed\ud
to the Crown in 1752 and managed by the Board of Commissioners for the\ud
Forfeited Estates. This thesis is primarily a study of the work of\ud
the Board. [Not from the Abstract - taken from the Preface]
