Portions dealing with Anglo-Scottish relations were replaced with expurgated text by order of the Privy Council. In this set pages 421-424 and 443-450 in The description of Scotland and pages 1328-31 and 1419-1574 in Volume 3 are supplied from an 18th-century reprint (the third of 3 identified by Maslen) of the original uncensored sheets.
