The Horner mss at the British Lib. of Pol. and Econ. Science, L.S.E. have been cited below, but references to the published material edited by Leonard Horner in Mems. and Corresp. of Francis Horner, MP (1st ed. 1843, 2nd (Boston) ed. 1853) have usually been omitted. There is also some material in Mem. Leonard Horner ed. Lyell (1890).
