Transcriber's notes
Authority - Rock Hall - there is a faint entry after Sir A Grierson BartDescriptive Remarks - Rock Hall - There seems to be a line through "Sir R" (2nd last line), but I think this was put to indicate the end of the sentence (by Stoddart) and then Barrett has subsequently added the final sentence (and 4 additional modes of Spelling and their authorities)
