Transcriber's notes
King's LawWhat I have transcribed as "***" is a series of 3 symbols like x's each with 4 dots in the interstices that I have interpreted as asterisks.
David Braidwood. I think these 3 symbols indicate text that is missed out from the quote from the Statistical Account.
Ian Muirhead: You may be right. I've found the second reference on p575. Not knowing what trap is I assumed that it was a definition. Your explanation makes sense.
