Albums containing correspondence and photographs related to Sir William Muir

This collection consists of two albums containing correspondence sent to Sir William Muir, and photographs of the senders (some photographs are missing, or never existed in the first place, especially in the second volume). The albums were possibly compiled by one of the daughters of William Muir, as mentioned in a letter written by himself to "Dear Sir Henry" (vol. 2, p. 9): "I enclose the only two letters I happen to have preserved of Lord Canning's & shall be glad to get them back, as they belong to my daughter's book of autographs".
