Identifier: Coll-1848/20-0060
Scope and Contents

This item is a volume of student lecture notes entitled "Heads of Dr. Ferguson's Lectures 1760" [the date could also be read as "1768"], 44-page long, apparently by a student who attended Adam Ferguson's lectures at the University of Edinburgh. As the title suggests, these are the "heads" or outlines of the course, but with a fair bit of detail included. The lectures concern mankind in its divisions, social actions, forms of government, etc.
