Notes

This is undoubtedly one of the 'two vols bound in parchment, containing J Adam's studies at Rome' (Soane Museum MSS, 1832/33) among the amended list of 54 Adam volumes given to George Bailey in 1837. It is in two sections, the first dominated by James Adam's schemes for a Parliament building, see inscription, which relates to drawings 1-119. Following this are several blank sheets. The second section, drawings 120-229, largely contains James Adam's work both before and after his return from Rome in 1764.
