xHistory of the house of Seton .
Latest year mentioned is 1561. The work was edited from this MS and printed at Glasgow in 1829, in the series of the Maitland Club, superintended by John Fullarton, Esq. The preface quotes the opinion of the famous librarian and collector of manuscripts David Laing: 'In that portion which contains the History of the Seytons it is worthy of notice that a leaf has been inserted at a subsequent but not very distant period, containing an 'Eik' or addition to the account of Seyton [{i}p. 20{/i}], but which does not occur in any of the other MSS of the work; and this circumstance may serve to confirm the supposition that these volumes had remained in the possession of the venerable author.'.
The chronicle ends in 1561 - and thus not in 1559 as the title announces
