The bills for personal expenses are made out to the Earl of Craw- 
ford, and this is the only identification. These volumes were no 
doubt prepared by his secretary, under his direction, as material for 
establishing the record of his services for preservation in the family 
archives, and for use in a posthumous biography. 
The author and owner of these MS. volumes was John Lindsay, 
' twentieth Earl of Crawford. The ational Dictionary of Biogra-
