Book 1728 English United Kingdom

Donald McBane

B-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-b, source entry 161.

Gelli confirms the 1728 Glasgow witness under Donald McBane. A parallel duplicate local record remains to be consolidated separately; this Gelli reference is attached to the preferred existing record.

Castle also records the 1728 Glasgow McBane witness with portrait and twenty-two plates.

Vigeant 1882 preserves the Glasgow 1728 imprint in fuller form, notes the Campbell portrait and 22 plates, and confirms the autobiographical and gunnery appendices.
