System of arrangement
A file index, Series 14, was created by James Loudon as an aid in preparing his memoirs. The number/letter scheme appearing in the lower right hand corner (e.g. [A.1]) was added by librarians as a further aid to the arrangement of the files after their donation to the university. These have been indicated in the following record series. Later attempts at arrangement were made and abandoned by University Archives staff. This accession, to some extent, still reflects these earlier attempts at arrangement.
