Scope and Content
This notebook was kept by Lyell on a trip to Sweden. It comprises notes on rise of land in Sweden - marks on rocks, etc. Notes are in ink and pencil, and include sketches, lists, observations. There are multiple blank pages.
The following table of contents is Lyell's own words, copied from Lyell's own "Index", found at the beginning and end of the notebook, transcribed from digital surrogates using the platform Transkribus. When known, Lyell's abbreviations and contractions have been expanded using brackets []. When writing is unclear, and transcription is not possible, this is denoted using [...]. Quotation marks are Lyell's own notation for ditto, as is the abbreviation "d'o". The inclusion of [sic] indicates the misspelling of a word is deliberate and taken from the notebook.
