Dear All,
We have a number of books (17 so far) with an anonymous armorial bookplate.
I have identified this as belonging to the Trotter family of Mortonhall,
near Edinburgh. Nine of the books also have manuscript purchase notes. the
books were bought in London or Edinburgh between 1695 and 1710. The writing
looks to be by the same person in each case. I was wondering if anyone
knows which member of the Trotter family this might be. If anyone does have
any information I would love to hear from you.
Many thanks,
Susan
