A short history of South Italy from about A.D. 1200, by sir William Gell (d. 1836), a first draft in pencil, unpublished; it has been found impossible to arrange the leaves in proper order without great expenditure of time, owing to the faint writing and entire absence of connecting links, so for the present they are provisionally numbered as they arrived and are kept unbound as a parcel.
