System of arrangement
The file seems to be an amalgamation of Wilson's intended Appendix II and III (read his Preface for notes on what these are). He did not provide title pages for these as he did with other numbered appendices. Two separate drafts are here: one that is continued probably from the entire manuscript that begins in the 400s, and another with single digit or low numbers that was an earlier draft. As the numbering of the latter draft did not seem to be complete, the Archivist has arranged all letters in chronological order.
