INTRODUCTION.
CADEMIC bibliography has for its sphere all printed
matter that illustrates either: —
i. The history and development of a University as a
corporate body ; or
ii. The literary activity of her sons and daughters.
The Aberdeen Collections here attempted deal only
with the firet of these two divisions. The other — far wider in extent —
forms part of a scheme that has been for some years on the programme
of the New Spaldii^ Cluh
These Collections were suggested, and their preparation was greatly
helped, by the existence of a bibliographical work of unusual excellence,
the late Mr. J. P. Edmond's Aberdeen Printers^ 1620-1736^ which supplies
information as to the whereabouts of many of the rarer Aberdeen books.
Following Mr. Edmond, I have recognised a distinction between the
books printed before and after 1736: *'that date in a measure separating
the antiquarian from the commercial periods in the history of Aberdeen
printing". For the earlier books, which may claim, apart from their
subject matter, a certain purely typ<^rraphical interest, I have given
fairly full transcripts of titlepages and collations of contents. For the
later, only the essential parts of the titlepage have been reproduced,
according to the recognised methods of cataloguing modem books :
omissions being indicated by the insertion of dots (. . .), and the printer's
name being noted, if of Aberdeen. In both classes I have endeavoured
to see the volumes myself. The greater number are in the Aberdeen
University Library ; but the Advocates' Library, the Signet Library, the
Libraries of St. Andrews, Glasgow and Edinburgh Universities, of Trinity
College, Dublin, and Trinity College, Cambridge, the Mitchell Library,
:t)n3^-M
vi INTRODUCTION.
the Haigh Hall and Slains Castle and Powis House Libraries, the Aber-
deen United Free Church Collie and Townhouse and Public Libraries,
the Library of the Scottish Episcopal College, the Kirkwall Bibiiotheck,
and the Library of the Surgeon-General, Washington, have all been
put under contribution, and I gratefully acknowledge the courtesy of their
respective librarians. Mr. Kellas Johnstone has kindly examined for
me several volumes in the British Museum, and Mr. Falconer Madan has
supplied descriptions of a group of Aberdeen Theses preserved in the
Bodleian Library.
Printed Theses are of great value both as illustrating the academic
curriculum and as making good deficiencies in lists of graduates. Owing
to the coexistence in the same town of two independent degree-granting
bodies, University and King's College, and Marischai College and Uni-
versity (finally united in i860), the number of Theses printed in or for
Aberdeen must have greatly exceeded the number printed for any, of the
other Scottish Universities. We know of at least one Aberdeen Thesis
printed in Edinburgh (1616). From the year 1622, when Raban began
his work in Aberdeen, down to the date when the printing of Theses
fell into disuse in Scotland, probably hardly a year passed without two
volumes of Theses appearing from the local press. Of only about one-
third of the total number has it been possible to find any trace.
The intimate connection thus fostered between the University and
the printing press brought about the fortml grant to James Brown,
about the middle of the seventeenth century, of the title ''Academiae
typographus" or ''Academiae typotheta". His successor John Forbes
received from Marischai College a retaining fee of twenty pounds Scots
per annum, in return for which he bound himself to print all public
Theses at the rate of ten merks Scots for each sheet, the students
furnishing the paper. The traditions of Brown and Forbes are worthily
sustained by the Aberdeen University Press of to-day, the printers of the
present volume.
In recent times the most characteristic literary product of academic
Aberdeen has been the Class Record or History. In the older Univer-
sities of the United States such Histories have been published for a
century, but none are known to exist in Edinburgh, Glasgow, or St.
INTRODUCTION. vii
Andrews. Class Records will be found in my Collections under the
years from i860 to 1906, varying in size from a tiny pamphlet of four
pages to a full-grown quarto of four hundred.
It will be seen that in dealing with the earlier books I have adopted
the method used by Mr. Madan in his Early Oxford Press. Thus an
attempt is made to distinguish the capitals and lower case letters, the
roman and italic founts, of the titlepage. The size of type used in the
text is stated. The recto and verso of a leaf are indicated by the ^ superior "
letters r and v : Cs^ standing for the verso of the fifth leaf of the sheet
whose signature is C, while C5 includes both recto and verso. The title,
unless otherwise described, is on the recto of the first leaf of the first
sheet, and every page to which no contents are assigned is blank. The
absence of vertical bars shows that the book has not been specially examined.
My list — ^which appropriately b^ns with the account of the founding
of the University, written by its first prindpal, and ends with the
publications of its Quatercentenary — is confessedly tentative and in-
complete, and I shall be grateful for having my attention called to
books or pamphlets overlooked. I should, however, explain that, in order
to keep the list within bounds, certain classes of books have been in-
tentionally excluded. Such are: works on general history, even though
containii^ incidentally much matter directly bearing on the Aberdeen
Universities, ^^., Spalding's Troubles or Wodrow's Collections ; works of
reference like the Dictionary of National Biography or Hew Scott's Fasti ;
professorial text-books, unless explicitly issued for use in Aberdeen Uni-
versity classes.
I am indebted to the Secretary of the Society for the loan of the
block of Boece's titlepage, and to the Earl of Erroll for permission to
reproduce in facsimile the contemporary Aberdeen binding of the
dedication copy of the Thesis of 1706,

PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS.^
By JOHN PHILIP EDMOND.
IN occupying this chair for the first time I must express my warmest
thanks for the very high honour you have conferred upon me — that of
President of the premier Bibliographical Society of the United Kingdom.
It is an honour, but it is also a great responsibility, and one not lightly
to be undertaken. It is a time-honoured custom for the newly elected
member of the Acad^mie Fran^aise to pronounce an ^loge on the deceased
member whose chair he has been chosen to fill. I am thankful to say our
last President is still with us in spirit, and I am sure would gladly be also in
body, if exigencies of time and space would permit May he long live to
enjoy the great honour which the University of Cambridge has bestowed
upon him for the truly wonderful contribution to biblic^^phy which he has
carried to a successful finish. Mr Aldis's List of Books printed in Scotland
before lyoo is a work of which the Society may justly be proud. It is a record of
a nation's typographical output for nearly two hundred years. It is unrivalled
in conciseness, for in the space of a single line he has given all the information
necessary for the identification of a book. It is far more complete than any
of the bibliographies of restricted periods or individual printers which hitherto
have been published. The brevity and clearness with which the material facts
are stated in the notes on printers and others connected with the book trade
must compel the admiration of every one. Lastly, in the index, the same
spirit of order is apparent, showing us at a glance the number of times
individual works have been printed, and thus disclosing the literary taste of
the Scottish people in days gone by. I should like to add that the ungrudging
spirit in which Mr Aldis has given us of his best has been emulated by our
Honorary Secretary. We all know what an ardent fellow-worker Mr Johnston
has been to Mr Aldis, and without his aid the " List " in all probability would
never have appeared. That there are omissions in the " List " we all know.
It was inevitable that such would be the case. But until it was in our
■ Read December 14th, 1905. Not revised by Mr Edmond.
A
possession how many of us could have added to the material in Mr Aldis's
hands? It is only by the publication of such a work that the missing links
in the chain can be supplied. I trust that members of the Society and others
interested in bibliography will do their best to supplement the material in
hand, so that the projected " complete Scottish bibliography " at which the
Society aims may some day become an accomplished fact.
Turning from the past to the future, I hope you will bear with me if I
say a few words on the work of the Society. In the first place, I think we
have an undue proportion of one of the two kinds of bees in our hive. We
want more workers. It should be a matter of conscience in applying for or
accepting membership in such a limited body as ours that something should
be done .beyond paying the very trifling subscription. I hold, and I think
you will all agree with me, that in the publications of the Society we get a
return for our money, which, from a commercial point of view, is possibly un-
rivalled. Now, in what way can those who are unable from various causes to
do practical work aid the Society in its operations? They might follow
the example of one who feels himself in that position. Such an one has
generously intimated his willingness to defray the cost of a work which the
Society might desire to print. That this will be beyond the means of some of
us need not hinder anyone from lending a helping hand. The offer of a single
facsimile to enrich our printed papers would, I am sure, be most welcome to
the Committee. But, as I said before, what we want beyond all things is a
greater number of members ready and willing to work for the Society.
I made an analysis of the contributors to the printed papers of the
Society, and I find that only eighteen members are represented. Two have
four papers to their credit, five have three papers, seven have two papers,
and four have one paper. I am quite aware that all the papers are not
printed, but I fear that to include those that have not appeared in type
would do little beyond swelling the number of papers contributed by the
eighteen members. It serves little purpose to grumble at one's fellow
members for not working for the Society unless something can be done to
enlist their sympathies and render it easier for them to amend their short-
comings. In thinking over the matter I am inclined to attribute some of
the slackness to our having paid too great respect to the last three words in
the first object of the Society — " more especially Scottish." I have no fault
to find with the objects as laid down in the Constitution and Rules, but it
appears to me we are in danger of dying of inanition unless we enlarge our
horizon. I daresay you have frequently heard the reply made by members
when asked to read a paper : " I have nothing suitable " — implying, if not
expressing, nothing Scottish or connected with Scotland. A wider out-
look would do very much to strengthen the Society at this period of its
existence. There is a danger of being too national — indeed, one may say,
too parochial. With every love and admiration for my country I cannot
help deploring the narrowness of sympathies, even in matters bibliographical,
which afflicts many of my countrymen.
Now, in what way can this wider outlook and enlarged horizon be
obtained ? I shall mention three classes of work, which need not necessarily
be Scottish, and give examples of each, with suggestions how the biblio-
graphical work may be carried out My first class is wide, and nothing short
of co-operative action will suffice. My second and third classes may easily
be accomplished by one man.
I. On a former occasion I brought under your notice the desirability of
festering all fifteenth century books in the great libraries of Scotland. This
would be a national work in one sense, but it would likewise be of international
importance. The interest in incunabula is greatly on the increase, and their
study is prosecuted in a manner very different from the days when Dibdin's
" gush " found free course and was read by admiring book-lovers.
The two greatest collections in England, the British Museum and the
Bodleian, have been " listed " — ^to use a convenient term — ^in my late friend
Proctor's wonderful " Index '' ; the fifteenth century books in Trinity College,
and Archbishop Marsh's Library, Dublin,* have been carefully described by
Dr Abbott in a volume which has just been issued. The incunabula of
Trinity College, Cambridge, were described by Dr Sinker some years ago,
and I live in hope of seeing a list of the fifteenth century books in Cambridge
University Library, from the pen of Dr Jenkinson. The splendid work
commenced by Mile. Pellechet, in which the incunabula in all the public
libraries in France are described, will, when completed, be a work of the
greatest importance. Individual libraries in Germany, Austria, and Italy
have printed catalogues of their fifteenth century books, and the in-
cunabula in the Royal Libraries of The Hague and Copenhagen have been
described in catalogues that are well known and esteemed. It is not my
purpose to enumerate all that has been done in this way on the continent of
Europe, but the instances I have given indicate how important it has seemed
to bibliographers that such treasures should be known.
The scope of such a list as I propose is not of such magnitude as to
deter the Society from attempting it. The libraries to be included would be
the University Libraries of St Andrews, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Edinbui^h ;
the Advocates', Signet, and Royal Observatory Libraries in Edinburgh. The
Public Library in Edinburgh possesses two fifteenth century books, and it is
possible that there may be a few in the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, and in the
Public Library, Aberdeen. The United Free Church College Libraries in Edin-
burgh and Aberdeen may also require consideration, and it would be advisable
to examine the collections belonging to the various Societies, at least in
Edinburgh. I think I can enlist the services of the University Libraries of St
Andrews and Aberdeen. Failing the help of the Glasgow University Lib-
rarian — whoever he may be, for I understand an appointment has not yet been
made — I am sure Professor Ferguson, with his unrivalled bibliographical
knowledge, will give his aid in compiling a list for that library, including
the very rich Hunterian Museum, which, as you all know, contains the finest
collection of incunabula in Scottand. I shall be very pleased to undertake
the Signet and Royal Observatory Libraries ; the Advocates' and Edinburgh
University Libraries, I am in hope, may be searched for fifteenth century
books by members of the Society. This disposes of the large libraries. The
smaller collections should not present any insuperable difficulty.
We now come to the methods to be employed in drawing up a list of
fifteenth century books. It is only by practical experience that one can see
the shortcomings of a system, and in order to gain that experience I have
attempted to make a list of incunabula in the Signet Library. The informa-
tion contained on each slip is expressed as briefly as possible.
In the first place, I have set down the town, next the printer's name,
then the author's name, but not inverted as in an alphabetical catalogue.
After that, the short title of the work, as given in Proctor or Hain, the date
by modern reckoning, and the format (fol., 4to, etc.). The slips may be
completed by the number in Proctor's Index, the number in Hain's " Reper-
torium," and the volume, page, and number in Panzer's " Annales." These
three authorities suffice for the majority of fifteenth century books, except
that for works printed in the Netherlands it is desirable to substitute the
number in Campbell's " Annales " for that of Hain.
s
The whole of the information which I have specified need not occupy
more than six lines, and although there will be exceptions, with which I
shall deal presently, you will find that in this short compass you have all
that is necessary for, perhaps, seventy per cent of the books. But if there is no
asterisk before the number in Hain and Campbell (the asterisk indicating
that they have seen and personally described the book), and if no satisfactory
and correct description is to be found in any well-known bibliographical
work, then much fuller treatment is required. What that treatment should be
must be settled by a committee of experts, but I should deprecate employing
Hain's system, which looks rather cabalistic to the uninitiated. In a printed
paper [see p. 9], copies of which I distributed at a meeting of this Society last
year, I described the system which I adopted for the fifteenth century books
in Lord Crawford's library. I think we might devise a system which would
occupy less space, while adhering to the plain language used in my model.
You will observe that in my plan I place the town and printer in the
first places, as I think this is of paramount importance in such a list. It is
reverting to what Bradshaw called the natural history or scientific method as
first used by Panzer in his *'Annales." An alphabetical author index
referring to a current number would make it easy to find any given work. A
further index of printers would also be desirable.
As giving some slight indication of the value such a list would have and
the boon it would confer, I may mention what are the results of the catalogue
of incunabula in the Signet Library. The number of books described is 1 1 1 ,
apart from fragments which have still to be overtaken. The countries
represented are — Germany 38« 8 towns, 19 presses; Italy 53» 8 towns, 39
presses; Switzerland 4, i town (Basel), 3 presses; France 11, 3 towns, 10
presses; Belgium 2, both from the same press; and England i, from the
press of Richard Pynson. The number of books imperfectly described by
Hain is 21, and the number which I have failed to find in Hain or any other
trustworthy authority is 11 ; 13 are not in Proctor's Index and therefore
neither in the British Museum nor Bodleian. If we consider that so large a
contribution to the knowledge of fifteenth century books is to be obtained in
what is probably the library least rich in such literature, I hope you will
agree with me that the work is worthy of being undertaken and carried out
in a thorough manner.
In cataloguing the incunabula in the Signet Library, I have made notes
of the provenance of such of the books as bore any trace of former owners.
It is always interesting to know that books came from such famous collec-
tions as the Roxburghe, Meermann, or Kloss. But what is perhaps more
interesting is to record the all but contemporary inscriptions which are often
found, stating that the volume belonged to such and such a convent or
monastery, and what was its place in the library, the donor, and occasionally
the date of purchase and the price. I have also described contemporary
stamped leather bindings, which are often of the greatest interest. I may
instance one volume without place or printer's name, which I assigned to
the monastery of SS. Ulrich and Afra, in Augsburg, and to my delight when
I came to describe the binding I found two small stamps repeated frequently,
that on one board bearing the legend '' ulricus,'* while the other had " afra" on
it. Whether this feature could be introduced into the list I am doubtful. It
would be a matter well worthy the consideration of the committee by whom
the arrangements would be made.
II. I must now pass on to the second class. It is what may be designated
the event or short period bibliography. We have lately had a splendid speci-
men of how such a bibliography should be carried out in the paper on the
Darien Scheme by the late Mr John Scott and our Secretary. But work of
this class other than Scottish or relating to Scotland must be sufficiently
plentiful and only waits for the bibliographer. I was examining a catalogue
issued a few weeks ago by Martin Breslauer, in Berlin. It is a remarkable
catalogue in many ways, but what struck me most was that under the heading
"Der Kolnische Juden- biicherstreit " (the Cologne dispute over the Jewish
books), there are 28 works entered, against which no price is marked, the
vendor wishing to dispose of them as one lot. This brought to my mind
the incidents connected with this celebrated dispute, and as it would when
worked up make a most interesting bibliography, I shall shortly relate the
circumstances and give some notes on the literature it called forth.
Johann Reuchlin, one of the most accomplished scholars of the period
immediately preceding the Reformation, published in 1 505 a tract in which
he enquired into the cause of the sad condition of the Jews for so many
hundred years. This was followed in 1507 by a treatise written by a
converted Jew, Johann Pfefferkorn, entitled "Der Judenspi^el" (the Jews'
Mirror), in which he advocated the destruction of all Hebrew literature except
the Old Testament. The Dominicans of Cologne warmly approved, and
Pfefferkorn through their influence obtained from the Princess Kunigonde,
sister of the Emperor Maximilian, a letter of introduction to that sovereign.
Maximilian in 1509 furnished Pfefferkorn with a mandate in which it was
ordered that Jews must deliver up all Hebrew books of a religious character,
and Pfefferkorn had authority to destroy them at his discretion. Pfefferkorn
was desirous of enlisting the aid of Reuchlin, but the latter declined, and in an
Opinion stated his reasons for doing so. Pfefferkorn replied in a work
entitled " Handspiegel " (Hand-glass), and as a counterblast to that Reuchlin
published his " Augenspiegel" (Eye-glass), both works appearing in 151 1.
The University of Cologne condemned Reuchlin's latest work, and required
him to recall it But instead of doing so he vindicated himself in a tract,
issued in 15 12, entitled "Ain klare Verstentnus in TiitscK" The war was
kept up by Pfefferkorn publishing another virulent attack on Reuchlin, called
** Brandspiegel " (Fire-glass), and was followed by Reuchlin's Defence against
his detractors in Cologne, 15 13, and by the Acta in the process pub-
lished by Jacob von Hochstraten, Dean of the Faculty of Theology of
Cologne, and Inquisitor of Heretical Pravity. On loth February 15 14, the
Augenspiegel was publicly burnt I have not mentioned all the tracts
published in this celebrated dispute, but only the most important. A new
phase, however, was given to the quarrel by the issuing of a collection of
letters to Reuchlin by distinguished men. This was in the spring of the
year 15149 and was followed up about a year later by the first collection
of " Letters of Obscure Men," in which Reuchlin's friends, ^Irich von
Hutten, Johann Jager, and Hermann von dem Busche, lashed with the most
merciless satire his detractors and persecutors. Additions to the " Epistols
Obscurorum Virorum" were printed in August 15 16, and the greater part
of the second book appeared in the spring of 15 17. This squabble about
Jewish books, in which their defender Reuchlin was condemned by the
ecclesiastical authorities after a long and wearisome process, may appear to be
of slight interest at the present day, but there can be little doubt that
Reuchlin, although he died in communion with the Church of Rome, did
much to prepare the way for the great social, political, and religious upheaval
which we call the Reformation. Some have even gone so far as call him the
Father of the Reformation, but that is an incorrect name to apply to him.
He unwittingly laid the gunpowder train to which Martin Luther applied the
match. By enlisting the sympathies of the people on his side against the
8
clergy he did much to render possible the events that so quickly followed. The
literature of this dispute is not so voluminous as to deter anyone with
sufficient spare time from undertaking it. The second part of Mr Proctor^s
** Index " would be of the gpreatest assistance, and a careful examination of it
would furnish a very good beginning for a bibliography.
III. The third and last class of work to which I call for volunteers from
the members of the Society is what I shall style the '' single works biblio-
graphy." Of that we have also had specimens, but almost exclusively
Scottish. As an example I may cite Archbishop Parker's *' De antiquitate
ecclesiae Britannicae," which was printed by John Day, in 1570. The number
of copies printed was probably twenty-five, and to find and examine every
copy is one of the best pieces of sport in a bibliographer's life. Several times
I have felt sure I was on the track of the copies which had disappeared, but
up to the present time I have been unsuccessful. The peculiarity of this
book is that no two known copies are alike. The Archbishop seems to have
added and subtracted, printed and reprinted leaves until the book becomes
one of the most bewildering to collate and describe that we can imagine. A
bibliography of this book was commenced by the present Earl of Crawford
and continued by me. That it will ever be completed is doubtful. I was
hindered by adverse circumstances from examining the last of the copies on my
list, the Earl of Leicester's at Holkham. But after a critical examination of the
copy belonging to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, I felt that I should like
to go over all the copies again. Not content with reprinting leaves, I found
in the Corpus copy that initial letters had been printed anew and pasted over
others, for what reason it is very hard to say. I should like to add, how-
ever, that I trust the '' single work bibliographies " undertaken by members of
this Society will not be such a hopeless task as that I have described.
In bringing this rather discursive paper to a close, I trust that what I
have said may be received in the same friendly spirit with which it has been
written. If I have been over critical and seemed to be derogatory in my
remarks on the extreme nationalism of Scottish biblic^raphers, believe me
it is from having passed through the same phase at an earlier period of my
life. It is because of my earnest desire that we should extend our useful-
ness in fields untrodden, in which fresh interests would be awakened, and a
wider horizon opened out, that I have laid particular stress on what seems to
me a weakness in the work of the Society.
CATALOGUING OF FIFTEENTH CENTURY BOOKS.
By JOHN PHILIP EDMOND.
HOW to catalogue the fifteenth century bcx>ks in the Bibliotheca Lindesiana
was a problem which some years ago I had to face. I was unwilling to
adopt in its entirety any one of the systems with which I was acquainted. It
was my wish to employ such a method as would unmistakably identify the
books in question, and at the same time avoid the use of signs, which are
always more or less of a conundrum even to the initiated. After much
deliberation I decided to take as my model the description of a book (taken
from the shelves almost at hazard) which I had printed for future guidance.
The proofs were submitted for criticism to Lord Crawford, Mr F. Jenkinson,
Mr E. Gordon Duff, and Mr R. Proctor, and I am greatly indebted to all of
them for suggestions, which for the most part I adopted. A few copies of
the slip were thrown off, but they are exhausted, having been given to those
who put the question : ^ How do you catalogue incunabula ? " As the demand
for the slip continues, it occurred to me that the best means of meeting it was
to reprint the description in some accessible and hospitable periodical.
A few words of explanation or comment may perhaps be useful,
especially to beginners in bibliography.
I. The short title, place of printing, printer's name and date are stated
distinctly and are printed in larger type than what immediately follows. This
is of the greatest service to those who do not concern themselves with the
bibliographical minutiae and collation. It may chance that search is made
for a special work, for books printed at a certain place or by some individual
printer, or even it may be of fifteenth century books of a particular date. In
any one or all of these cases the statement of the information alluded to in a
clear and concise form is an unmistakable advants^. When the place,
printer's name and date (or any one of these facts) are not stated in the
work, that information is enclosed within square brackets with a mark of
B
10
interrogation in front of what is uncertain. It will be observed that the
date is reduced from the Roman to the modern reckoning.
2. The format is stated according to the folding of the paper as ascer-
tained by the watermarks and wire-lines. The size in inches which follows
indicates the height of the book, and serves as a guide when searching for the
work on the shelves.
3. The particulars which follow are : the type, presence or absence of
printed signatures, numeration and catchwords, and finally the number of lines
to a solid page of type. It is advisable to invariably maintain the same
order for these items.
4. The collation is stated by enumerating the quires a b c, etc, whether
there are printed signatures or not. Books always had signatures. Manu-
script signatures are found in many fifteenth century books, but unfortunately
the binder's knife has often cut them away, as they were usually written near
the bottom comer of the first page of each quire or gathering, and not in a
line immediately beneath the page of type as in the case of printed signatures.
The " superior " figures following the signature letters indicate the number of
leaves to each quire. A short sum in simple addition, or better still a
reference to a table which the student can easily construct for himself, will
show the total number of leaves in each group of signatures, which are next
recorded. This is followed by numbers within brackets (1-4) and (5-128)
indicating that these leaves are to be referred to in the future as leaves i to 4
and 5 to 128. The necessity for using this formula may not be apparent at
first sight. It will be at once recognised if we take a book made up of several
parts, say of 50, 100, and 25 leaves each. Then the leaves of the first part
are referred to as i to 50 ; the second part, as leaves 51 to 150 ; and the third
part, as leaves 151 to 175.
In the book described below every quire is regular, but not infrequently
cancel leaves occur in fifteenth century books, so that a quire instead of being
made up of an even number of leaves has an odd number. This I describe by
Henry Bradshaw's method. " Where, as sometimes happens, a single leaf is
inserted in a quire owing to some miscalculation on the part of the printer,
the leaf will be found described by the number of the preceding leaf, only with
the addition of an asterisk (6* if inserted after 6, 5* if inserted after 5, etc),
and the first word of the inserted leaf is given, so as to enable tlie collator to
identify it at once. Thus . . . the expression c (+6* ' zenocrates ')6 means
II
that the quire c consists of six leaves, besides (+) a leaf inserted after the
sixth leaf (hence called 6*), which inserted leaf commences with the word
* zenocrates ' "— (H. Bradshaw's "Collected Papers," p. 151).
The collation is completed by printing the title-page (if there chances to
be one), the opening lines of the various parts of the book, the subscription to
the dedication or preface, and the colophon. The division of lines is indicated
by an upright bar ( | ), and every contraction is reproduced in its peculiar
letter. F^dhere strictly to the letters used by the printer, using U and V
where he employs them, as the object is to represent what he has printed as
nearly as possible with one fount of type.
5. It is most important that the description of the book as it came from
the hands of the printer, and which Mr Duff has called the ''general description,"
should be clearly separated from what is peculiar to the copy of the book
under observation, and which may be designated the " particular " description.
In the latter I give such information as binding, former ownership, with a
reference where possible to the number in the catalogue where its sale is
recorded, bookplates, autographs or inscriptions. Here, too, imperfections
are noted, and any peculiarities of condition or material.
6. The closing paragraph supplies references to bibliographies in which
the work is described and needs no comment.
Neither originality nor striking ingenuity is claimed for this method of
catalc^ing fifteenth century books. Any value it possesses is on account of
its simplicity and the sheer impossibility of mistaking one book for another
when so described. It is plain, and does not bristle with enigmatical single
letters, each one of which implies a word, but which can sometimes be
differently interpreted. It is sufficient, for it has been well tested, and has
stood the trial to my entire satisfaction.

CONRAD SWEYNHEYM AND ARNOLD PANNARTZ,
THE FIRST ROMAN PRINTERS.'
By JOHN PHILIP EDMOND.
EVERY student of mediaeval history must have noticed the magnet-like
attraction which the fair land of Italy had for the northern nations.
Again and again it was invaded by Goths, Vandals, Franks, and Germans,
but these armed invasions, important as they were in the shaping of the
destinies of the peoples of Europe, brought with them death, plague, and
desolation. An invasion of an entirely different character, but far-reaching
in its consequences, will engage our attention to-night for a few minutes.
Of the earliest printers in Italy little is known beyond their names
and the places of their birth. Conrad Sweynheym, whose name always
appears first in their colophons, was a native of Schwanheim, opposite
Hochst on the Main. His partner, Arnold Pannartz, came from Prague.*
These men were the forerunners of many who had learned the art in the
workshops of Germany. As might be expected, Germans form a very large
majority of the master printers of Italy during the first decade in which
printing was exercised there. To mention only the printers in the city of
Rome during that period, we find Ulrich Han of Ingolstadt, Georg Lauer of
Wiirzburg, Adam Rot of the diocese of Metz, Wendelin of Wiele, Johann
Gensberg, Johann Reinhard of Endingen, Georg Sachsel of Reichenhall,
Bartholomaeus Golsch of Hohenbart, Johann Schurener of Boppard, Johann
Nicolai of Hahnheim, which shows how completely the Teutons held the field.
It is not possible to say, with any amount of certainty, who it was
that induced Sweynheym and Pannartz to come to Italy. Nicolaus de Cusa
has sometimes been credited with the introduction of the art into Italy, and
he was no doubt deeply interested in the invention ; but he died before
' Read December 8Ui, 1904. Not revised by the Aathor.
*The tradition is that they were workmen in the employment of Gutenberg and Schoeffer,
and after the capture and sack of Mainz in 1462 by Adolphus of Nassau, they turned their faces
southwards in search of a suitable place in which to introduce printing.
14
the Germans arrived in Rome. The reigning Pope, Paul II., may have
encouraged them with promises of patronage, and as so many of the
books printed by the Italian prototypographers were dedicated to him,
it is probable that he was expected to act up to the character of the
wealthy patron. But I believe the person who exercised the greatest
influence on the enterprise was Giovanni Andrea Bussi, generally known
as Joannes Andreas, Bishop of Aleria,i an intimate friend of Cardinal
Cusa. He it was who edited the majority of the books printed by
Sweynheym and Pannartz, and whose dedicatory letters prefixed to the
works form the chief source of our knowledge of these printers.
All roads lead to Rome ; and there can be no doubt that the printers
passed through the city on their way to the scene of their earliest labours.
The first Italian press they set up was in the famous Benedictine monastery,
situated on a rocky height and almost inaccessible, about two miles distant
from the little town of Subiaco, in the Campagna di Roma. There was
a decided fitness in the selection of this monastery, as it was a house
where close relations with Germany had been kept up for nearly a hundred
years, and which had numbered among its inmates many German monks
of great learning.
Only four books were printed in the monastery of Subiaco. These
were a Donatus, Cicero de oratore, Lactantius, and St Augustine's De
civitate Dei. The first named, a little schoolbook distinguished from the
larger work of Donatus by the title pro futruliSy is entirely lost It is
extremely annoying to find in one of Lord Spencer's letters to Dibdin a
statement that he had seen a copy of it, but he could not recall where.
The Donatus was probably printed in July or August 1465. Philip de
Lignamine tells of the arrival of Sweynheym and Pannartz in Rome in
June 1465, but as that certainly relates to their first visit and not to
their subsequent establishment in the city, the date of the Donatus must
fall between that and the more ambitious works which followed it These
' This great scholar was bom at Vigevano on 23rd July 141 7, and studied at Mantua under
the celebrated Vittorino da Feltre, where he had as fellow pupils the sons of Giovanni Francesco
Gonzaga, Marquis of Mantua. In his earlier years he was very poor, and before he secured Paul
II. as a patron he tells of himself that he had scarcely the wherewithal to pay for the shaving of
his beard. He occupied a place in the papal court in the service of Cardinal Cusa fur six years,
was made Bishop of Acda, in Corsica, and previous to the year 1469 was translated by Paul II.
to the bishopric of Aleria, in the same island. He was the first librarian of the Vatican, under
Pope Sixtus IV., and died on 4th February 1475.
IS
appeared in the following order: the Cicero before 30th September 1465,
the Lactantius on 30th October of the same year, and the St Augustine
on the 1 2th of June 1467. The size of the Donatus was probably a
small quarto, the Cicero is a large quarto, the Lactantius a small folio,
and the St Augustine a large folio of noble proportions. Only one type
was used by the printers at Subiaco, a semi- Roman character, which
completely disappears with the conclusion of their labours there.
In the middle of the year 1467 they removed to Rome, where they
naturally expected to find a more convenient place than the comparatively
remote and inaccessible monastery of Subiaco.
I daresay every one present has read that wonderful tale of the middle
ages, Charles Reade's romance, "The Cloister and the Hearth." In it he
draws a vivid picture of the removal to Rome of the subjects of my paper :
" About a mile from where they parted, Clement found two tired way-
farers lying in the deep shade of a great chestnut-tree, one of a thick grove
the road skirted. Near the men was a little cart, and in it a printing-press,
rude and clumsy as a vine-press. A jaded mule was harnessed to the cart.
** And so Clement stood face to face with his old enemy.
"And as he eyed it, and the honest, blue-eyed faces of the wearied
craftsmen, he looked back as on a dream at the bitterness he had once felt
towards this machine. He looked kindly down on them and said softly, —
" * Sweynheim ! '
" The men started to their feet.
" ' Pannartz ! '
** They scuttled into the wood, and were seen no more.
** Clement was amazed, and stood puzzling himself.
" Presently a face peeped from behind a tree.
" Clement addressed it * What fear ye ? '
" A quavering voice replied, * Say, rather, by what magic you, a stranger,
can call us by our name ! I never clapt eyes on you till now.'
" ' O superstition ! I know ye as all good workmen are known, — by your
works. Come hither and I will tell ye.'
"They advanced gingerly from different sides, each regulating his
advance by the other's.
" ' My children, ' said Clement, * I saw a Lactantius in Rome, printed by
Sweynheim and Pannartz, disciples of Fust.'
i6
<< < D'ye hear that, Pannartz ? Our work has gotten to Rome already.'
" ' By your blue eyes and flaxen hair I wist ye were Germans ; and the
printing-press spoke for itself. Who, then, should ye be but Fust's disciples,
Pannartz and Sweynheim/
"The honest Germans were now astonished that they had suspected
magic in so simple a matter.
" ' The good father hath his wits about him, that is all,' said Pannartz.
" * Ay,' said Sweynheim, * and with those wits would he could tell us how
to get this tired beast to the next town.'
" * Yea,* said Sweynheim [Pannartz], * and where to find money to pay
for his meat and ours when we get there.'
'' ' I will try,' said Clement ' Free the mule of the cart, and of all
harness but the bare halter.'
'' This was done, and the animal immediately lay down and rolled on his
back in the dust like a kitten. Whilst he was thus employed, Clement
assured them he would rise up a new mule. * His Creator hath taught him
this art to refresh himself, which the nobler horse knoweth not Now, with
r^ard to money, know that a certain Englishman hath intrusted me with a
certain sum to bestow in charity. To whom can I better give a stranger's
money than to strangers ? Take it, then, and be kind to some Englishman or
other stranger in his need ; and may all nations learn to love one another
one day.'
" The tears stood in the honest workmen's eyes. They took the money
with heartfelt thanks.
*' ' It is your nation we are bound to thank and bless, good father, if we
but knew it.
" * My nation is the Church.'
" Clement was then for bidding them farewell, but the honest fellows
implored him to wait a little ; they had no silver nor gold, but they had some-
thing they would give their benefactor. They took the press out of the cart,
and while Clement fed the mule, they bustled about, now on the white hot
road, now in the deep, cool shade, now half in and half out, and presently
printed a quarto sheet of eight pages, which was already set up. They had
not type enough to print two sheets at a time. When, after the slower
preliminaries, the printed sheet was pulled all in a moment, Clement was
amazed in turn.
17
" * What, are all these words really fast upon the paper ? ' said he. ' Is it
verily certain they will not go as swiftly as they came? AnAyfou took me for
a magician ! 'Tis " Augustine de civitate Dei." My sons, you carry here the
very wings of knowledge. Oh, never abuse this great craft ! Print no ill
books! They would fly abroad countless as locusts, and lay waste men's
souls.'
" The workmen said they would sooner put their hands under the screw
than so abuse their goodly craft. And so they parted."
On their arrival in Rome they established their printing press in the
palace of the noble brothers Pietro and Francesco dei Massimi, near the
German National Hospice. They continued to print under their protection
until the end of 1473. During this second period, which we shall call press
2, again only one fount of type (a roman letter) appears in the works printed
by Sweynheym and Pannartz. In their first essay they adopted half*
ineasures, which usually spell failure, when it seemed as if they could not
entirely emancipate themselves from the Gothic letters of their native land.
But this elegant roman letter would be much more in consonance with the
taste of Italians accustomed to the beautiful round hand we find in good
manuscripts of the period. Their literary adviser, editor, and corrector of
the press, Giovanni Andrea Bussi, remained their friend to the end. When
we consider the amount of work accomplished by this man we are simply
filled with amazement In 1468 he edited St Jerome's Epistles, reprinted
in 1470 ; Apuleius, Aulus Gellius, Caesar, reprinted in 1472 ; the Epistolae
ad familiares of Cicero, reprinted in 1470, 1471, and 1472 ; and Lucan's
Pharsalia. Probably in 1469 (the exact date is unknown) he edited for them
Livy, Strabo in Latin, and Virgil reprinted about 1471. In 1470, Pliny's
Natural History, the Sermons and Epistles of St Leo the Great, Lactantius,
Quintilian, Suetonius, and the Catena Aurea of St Thomas Aquinas. In
147 1 the Epistles of St Cyprian, the Bible, Silius Italicus, Cicero's Orations,
Ovid, and the commentary of Nicolaus de Lyra on the Bible in five volumes,
the first of which was published in 147 1, and the remaining four in the
following year. Now if we consider what a large proportion of these works
are first editions, and the labour which must have been expended in the
selection and collation of the manuscripts from which they were produced,
I think you will agree with me that probably to no one press or to no one
editor is the world of letters more indebted than to the Bishop of Aleria
i8
and to the first printers in Rome. If you could see as I have seen the
greater part of the works from this workshop ranged side by side, you
would be filled with admiration for the industry and indefatigable zeal
of the printers and their editor.
I have referred to the prefaces of the Bishop of Aleria as containing
matter of interest, and it is much to be desired that they should be carefully
reprinted and translated with notes. I must confine my attention to the
prefaces of two of the books. In that to the Cyprian of 147 1 the Bishop writes
that the printers were engs^ed on the printing of the huge gloss of Nicolaus
de Lyra on the Old and New Testaments, and the paper of a larger size used
for that work having run short, in order that the press should not remain
idle the smaller volume was put in hand.
But the second dedicatory letter to which I shall call your attention,
prefixed to the fifth volume of Nicolaus de Lyra's Gloss, is perhaps one of the
most remarkable documents connected with early printing that we have. It
is addressed to Sixtus IV., who had succeeded to the papal throne in 1471
on the death of Pope Paul II., to whom the previous letters had been directed.
The editor, the Bishop of Aleria, implores the assistance of the Pontiff for the
poor printers who were in great distress. He enumerates the works they had
printed up to that time and also gives the number of copies of each. The
list includes twenty-eight works, and the number of copies printed was
usually 275. Now in order to understand this list it must be borne in mind
that the reckoning is by volumes, not copies, and when a work was reprinted
the total number of copies in the two or three impressions is given. Thus the
number of copies of the Donatus which comes first in the list is given as 300,
but the number of the Lactantius as 825. We know that the Lactantius was
printed three times by Sweynheym and Pannartz, once in Sublaco, and twice
in Rome, so that by dividing the number given by three we arrive at the
normal number of copies of which their impressions consisted. To give the
next instance on the list, the Familiar Epistles of Cicero. Against it is
placed 550, and as that work was twice printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz
in 1467 and again in 1469, we arrive at the same number as in the case of the
Lactantius. The only exceptions, in which the number exceeded 275, are the
Donatus, the Speculum of Rodericus Zamorensis, the Bessarion, and Pliny's
Natural History, against each of which is placed the number 30a The
importance of this preface will be at once seen, for here we have a complete
19
list of a fifteenth century press from its first establishment down to a given
date, viz., 20th of March 1472.
The colophons of Sweynheym and Pannartz are deserving of special
mention. The most usual ending to their books was a colophon in eight
lines of Latin verse.' If, they say, the reader wishes to learn the names of the
workmen, let him read. He may laugh at the rough German names, but
perchance the skill of the men may tone down the effect of words strange to
the Muses. Masters Conrad Sweynheym and Arnold Pannartz have printed
at Rome many such, and Peter Maximus, together with his brother Francis,
have provided a home suitable for the work.
During the period that this second press lasted, viz., from 1467 to 1473,
48 works were printed. A Bull of the jubilee year issued by Paul II. on
19th April 1470 is also credited to them, but its existence in a printed form
is at present unknown. What led to the dissolution of partnership we cannot
tell, but we know that Conrad Sweynheym abandoned his trade of printer
and devoted the rest of his days to engraving maps for the first edition of
Ptolemy, which was printed by Arnold Buckinck, a German, on loth October
1478. In the preface to that work it is stated that Sweynheym died before
the work was completed.
With the year 1474 we enter on the third and last press, that of Arnold
Pannartz alone. Only one book is known to have been printed by him in
1474, and it, like so many of the works issued during his partnership with
Sweynheym, was dated from the Massimi Palace.^ The next year, 1475,
indicates increased activity on the part of Pannartz, for no fewer than eight
works were printed, but not one of them is of the noble dimensions of so
many of the previous press. In fact one, an octavo, is noted as being the
smallest book that has survived from any of the three presses. The following
year, 1476, saw three works, but the third, St Jerome's Letters, of which only
' This eolophon is here printed as it stands in the Strabo [1469].
Aspids illuslris lector quicunque libellos
Si cupis artificum nomina nosse : lege.
Aspeia ridebis cognomina teutona : forsan

' It is worthy of note that they retained the protection of this noble family to the end, for in the last
book printed before the death of Pannarts, the colophon is still dated from that ** suitable home," as
the printers call it in their rhyming colophons.
20
the first volume was printed, dated 28th March, was the last book issued by
Pannartz. He died about that date, and the second volume completing the
work was printed by Georg Lauer of Wurzburg. In this third press, again,
an entirely new departure was made in the matter of type. The beautiful
roman letter of press 2 in turn disappears and gives place to two founts of
type. One, a small roman letter, with a trace of Gothic influence in the
lowercase, was used principally but not by any means exclusively for the
smaller sized books ; the other is an imitation of the only type used in press 2.
It cannot be said that Pannartz was successful in producing so beautiful a
book as when working with his old partner. My own feeling is that the
effect is spoiled by an appearance of over-blackness in the printed page.
I have reserved for separate notice the use of Greek types in the books
printed at all three presses. Thanks to my friend the late Mr Robert
Proctor, we have a most exhaustive account in his monograph, " The Printing
of Greek in the Fifteenth Century," of a most intricate and difficult subject
In this short paper it is impossible to do more than state briefly the facts.
In the Lactantius of October 30th, 1465, printed at Subiaco, and the second
book which has survived from an Italian press, we have a more or less
complete alphabet of Greek letters. The Cicero de oratore, which was
completed at least a month earlier, contains no Greek, the words being
transliterated in roman characters. In the Lactantius the printers at first left
blank spaces to be filled in by hand, but gradually the Greek letters were
introduced, although it is rather puzzling to determine why certain spaces
were left blank, while on previous pages the passages were printed in Greek.
With the second press they discarded the Greek used at Subiaco, and made
new type similar to it, which they used with type 2. This second fount of
Greek type was retained to the end by Sweynheym and Pannartz, and the
latter continued to use it along with his larger sized new type^ in which he
printed the Elegantiae of Lorenzo Valla and other works. In books in
which his smaller sized fount of roman was used Pannartz had no choice but
to leave blanks for the Greek to be filled in by hand.
I think you will agree with me that the earliest printers in Italy,
Sweynheym and Pannartz, are worthy to be held in everlasting remembrance.
They have reared for themselves such a monument as can never perish, for to
their enterprise and ability the world owes so many editianes principts of the
great Latin writers, books that in value and importance must alwa)^ rank
next to the manuscripts from which they were printed.
SWEYNHEYM AND PANNARTZ:
NOTES AND COLLATIONS.*
By E. GORDON DUFF.
>«»i
AT the beginning of 1895, whilst I was engaged in cataloguing the
Spencer Collection belonging to the Rylands Library, Manchester,
I had occasion to collate the books printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz.
With the exception of the Donatus, which is unknown, the collection included
a copy of every book mentioned in the printers' own list printed in De Lyra's
great work in 1472, and was therefore practically complete.
Shortly after I had begun, I remembered that Lord Crawford was
specially interested in these books and had a fine collection ; so I sent
copies of my collations to Mr Edmond in case they might be of use. By
a curious coincidence, he was engaged on the same work ; so I suggested we
should exchange results. He was delighted with the proposal, and wrote
on 14th February: **I think that the comparison of these collations in-
dependently made will be of the greatest service — at least they will be so
to me. I hope you will go on with them. I do not require anything beyond
what 3rou send. Later on we may come to difficulties, when a comparison of
the watermarks may solve a problem."
It must be remembered that all the books printed by Sweynheym and
Pannartz in partnership are without signatures, catchwords, pagination, or any
mark by which they can be collated. The continuity of the text could, of course,
be established by comparison with later editions ; but even this very laborious
method would give no clue to missing blank leaves. We had then to make
our collations by watermarks, which, after all, is the surest and safest way.
This method of collation, which was described by Blades, and quite
recently by Mr Pollard [The Library, Vol. VI IL pp. 200 et segg.], depends
on the fact that almost all old paper has a watermark ; and it is always in the
same place, about the middle of one-half of the sheet Thus in a folio book,
' Read 14th November 1907.
22
where a sheet is folded only once, we find a watermarked leaf on one side of
the quire answered by a non-watermarked leaf on the other side of the quire.
If M denote a marked leaf and O an unmarked leaf, we must be able to
divide our folio quire into a series of pairs, made up of one leaf from one side
of the sewing and one leaf from the other, one leaf being always an M and
the other an O.
It would be tedious to describe in detail this method of collation ; but
to those who wish to pursue the study I can recommend the two articles I
have mentioned above. A thorough grasp of this method of collation is
essential to all careful bibliographers, as it gives definite and certain results,
and detects at once cancelled leaves or leaves inserted from other copies.
As our work progressed, we found, on consulting various bibliographies,
that hardly any collations given were correct, that much interesting detail
was omitted, and that much on the subject remained to be done. We
therefore projected a monograph, in which a full bibliographical description
should be given of each book, a reprint and translation of the preface, notes
on interesting individual copies — in fact, all information of any kind relating
to the subject. For this object we began slowly to collect material — very
slowly indeed, for at that time both Mr Edmond and myself were excessively
busy ; but we never omitted to collate copies which came in our way, and I
did some work on the prefaces.
A piece of work such as we intended would be too large for this Society
to undertake ; but I have thought an account of some of our troubles would
be interesting, and an appendix containing our finished collations valuable.
I propose, therefore, to take the books in their order, adding notes upon
any points of interest
Of the first book — ^the Donatus — no copies are known. The exact words
in Lord Spencer's letter to Dibdin, to which Mr Edmond refers, are — *' At
Woburn I saw a man ' who assured me that he had actually had in his hand
and examined a fragment containing only three leaves of the Donatus pro
puerulis printed in the very same character as the Lactantius of 1465 ; and what
is more he has undertaken to make enquiries after it in order to discover
whether it may not be procured for me."
There is a very curious point to be noticed about the next book — ^the
Cicero de Oratore of 1465 : it will collate correctly in two different ways.
' Signer Binda.
23
About two-thirds through the book, when signature h — a quire of eight leaves
— ^had been printed, it was found necessary to print one extra leaf to complete
the section of the book. This leaf, with its corresponding blank, formed a
quire of two leaves. But in some copies, the binder — to save himself the
trouble of first sewing a quire of eight leaves and then one of two — ^has
turned the blank leaf of the quire of two round the outside of the preceding
quire, and thus formed a quire of ten leaves, beginning with a blank. But in
this case the blank leaf would come between two consecutive pages of text,
and was therefore cancelled. I have examined copies bound in both ways,
and there is no doubt that the more correct is to have the quire of eight
followed by the quire of two.
The next book — the Lactantius of 1465 -^caused us a little trouble, as
our collations would not at first agree ; but we afterwards found that in Lord
Crawford's copy some leaves had been misbound, which accounted for the
difference.
The Augustinus de Civitate Dei, of 1467 — the last book printed at
Subiaco-^was a most difficult book to collate. It required the examination
of five copies before certain points could be settled, and still two points
remsuned doubtful. Our collations could not enable us to settle whether
the second quire consisted of two printed leaves only, and whether the last
quire in the book was eight leaves with the last blank or six leaves with an
extra leaf inserted. Fortunately, I came across two copies in America,
which seemed to settle the points clearly : the second quire should be four
leaves with two blanks, and the last quire six with an extra inserted leaf.
The Lactantius of 1465 is of interest as containing the earliest Greek
printing in Italy, the first Greek printing of all having been produced at
Mainz only a few months previously. In the Cicero de Oratore, issued a
few months earlier than the Lactantius, the spaces for Greek were left blank
or transliterated into the ordinary Latin alphabet In the Lactantius, spaces
were at first left for the Greek ; but a Greek fount was cut and gradually used,
so that in the latter part of the book all the Greek quotations are printed.
In the autumn of 1467, Sweynheym and Pannartz removed to Rome,
and discarded all their own type — perhaps as being too Gothic for the revived
classical taste of Rome. In 1467 they began their work at Rome with new
founts of Roman and Greek type.
The rarest books from this press are undoubtedly the two editions of
24
Virgil issued in 1469 and 1471. Six copies only are known of the first, still
fewer of the second. Of the six copies of the first, two are in England, in
the Bodleian and the Rylands Library; two in Paris, in the Biblioth^ues
Nationale and Genevieve ; the fiflh is in Florence, in the Medicean Library ;
and the last copy was bought at the Hopetoun sale by Mr Junius S. Morgan,
and is now in the unrivalled Virgil collection which he presented to Princeton
University. Mr Edmond examined the two Paris copies, and I examined
the three English and American. The Rylands copy is the only one perfect
as to text, but it wants the blanks ; the others have all some imperfections in
the text. I do not know if the Florence copy is perfect Three copies are
known of the second edition — one in the Biblioth^que Nationale, one in the
Hunterian, and the third in the Rylands Library. This latter was formerly
in the Royal Library at Stuttgart ; but the irrepressible Dibdin, when on a
tour on the Continent, succeeded in striking a bargain with the King of
Wurtemburg and carrying off the volume for the Library at Althorp.'
The Suetonius of 1470 is an interesting book, as many examples contain
woodcut borders and initials of very graceful design, which were o^ied very
closely by William Morris in his Kelmscott Press books. These initials and
borders were not set up with the text, but printed in afterwards by hand.
Similar ones are often found in early Venetian books, and were intended as a
background for illumination ; and were, indeed, the property of the illuminator,
not the printer, for I have found the same borders used in books printed by
Valdarfer, Jenson, and Vindelin de Spira. The fact, however, of so many
copies of the Suetonius being issued with these borders and letters seems to
point to the printers themselves having tried the experiment of issuing the
book ready for the illuminator. It was apparently not a success, and was not
repeated.
The next book to be noticed is the Cyprian, which was issued just before
the Bible, while the printers were waiting for a supply of the large sized paper
used for that book. It is worth noting a small mistake into which some writers
have fallen in saying that the Cyprian was printed while Nicholas de Lyra's
commentary on the Bible was held up for want of paper. The words in the
preface to the Cyprian run, *' Hoc certe tempore sudanti satis mihi in immensa
Nicolai dc Lyra super Veteris et Novi Testament! ad litteram Glossemate, ab
' Though Dibdin preserved a discreet reticence about the details of this transaction, at anynue
during Lord Spencer's lifetime, his natural garrulity could not be suppressed, and in his anonymous
novel *' Cranmer/' published in 1839, he gave a more exact account which mentions the price paid.

impressoribus nostris, qui Bibliae libros informabant, repente efflagitatus sum, ut
quoniam charta major illos defecerat, ne officinx eontm vacarent, quod nunquam
fit absque ingenti artis dispendio, aliquod minoris voluminis opus illis com-
modum expediretn/' *' At the time when I was toiling hard at the huge com-
mentary of Nicholas de Lyra on the Old and New Testament, I was suddenly
called upon by our printers who were printing the books of the Bible, that since
they were short of large sized paper, I should hasten forward with some
book suitable for a smaller sized volume, lest their work should come to a
standstill, which could not happen without considerable waste."
This clearly shows that the editor, the Bishop of Aleria, was at work on
the commentary while the printers were printing the Bible.
In the collation of this Bible another trap awaited us, and one not so
uncommon as might be supposed. We collated, and collated and re-collated,
but our results were always different by two leaves, I made 346, Mr Edmond
made 348. At length we both started to collate through by the text, and the
mystery was revealed. When Lord Crawford's copy was originally put up
for binding, two copies of one sheet had been accidentally taken up together,
so that when the book was bound there were duplicates of two leaves. For«
tunately in this case nothing was wanting, but I have occasionally come
across examples of fifteenth century books (and often of modern novels)
where there are duplicates of one sheet, while another sheet is missing.
In this connection another point may be noticed. In occasional cases
where the first quire was a separate part of the book, say, for instance, it con-
tained the preface and list of contents, the printers or binders folded it in an
extra sheet of blank paper, thus giving a blank leaf at each end. For instance,
if a book in the ordinary way began leaf i and 2 Preface, 3 to 8 Index ; and
leaf nine, the first of the second quire, had the commencement of the text, it
would be described A^ B, etc. But when the printers or binders added the
extra sheet the book would collate leaf i blank, leaf 2 and 3 Preface, 4 to 9
Index, leaf 10 blank, and be described A'^ B, etc. There is no doubt what-
ever that though this was occasionally done, whenever the two corresponding
leaves of a quire forming one sheet are entirely blank, they cannot be con-
sidered to form a genuine part of the book.
The question of cancelled leaves and inserted leaves forms one of the
greatest difliculties of collation, and here the advantage of good standard
copies comes in. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, when Lord
D
26
Spencer collected his library, an old binding was anathema. A spotless copy
in original binding would be immediately sent to Charles Lewis or some fellow
miscreant to be bound in full morocco and the edges cut and gilt How it
was done I do not know, but they managed to hammer and press the book to
about half its proper thickness, and then bound it up in a vice-like binding.
If quires of ten leaves did not suit them (and it rarely did) they cut the leaves
apart and overcast them into quires of eight. This overpressing and tight
binding had two bad effects : it flattened out all the impress made by the type
on the paper, taking away its beauty and making the page look like a litho-
graph, and it made it quite impossible to determine the real structure of the
book.
I cannot resist one story to show the utter absence of all interest in
bibliography in the early collectors. Earl Spencer came into possession of
the historic volume containing the so-called Mentelin editions of Terence and
Valerius Maximus bound together in the original binding, with a coeval
manuscript note, saying that the books had been bought at the Nordlingen
Fair in 1470 from the printer himself, Adolf Rusch of Ingwiller (Mentelin's
son-in-law). This particular volume had been quoted by Seemiller, Panzer,
and other writers as a most important piece of evidence on the early history
of printing. What did Lord Spencer do ? He wanted the Valerius Maximus,
but had already a fair copy of the Terence in green morocco. So the volume
was broken up ; the Valerius Maximus sent to Walther to bind in full red
morocco, the leaf with the inscription torn out of the Terence and inserted
(loose) in the other copy, while the Terence itself was sold as a duplicate.
Anyone who has read Dibdin's tour on the Continent will remember his
many purchases for the Althorp Library of books from the libraries of
monasteries, where, as he tells us, they had lain untouched on the shelves
from the day they were bought from the printer — spotless, and in their
original bindings.
Now they stand on the shelves of a modern library in the full morocco of
Lewis, or Hering, or Kalthoeber, and with almost all the human interest
beaten out of them. This rebinding has played havoc with blank leaves,
cancels, and many other things, so that although the Spencer set of
Sweynheym and Pannartz books is unrivalled as a complete set for reference,
it is not to be compared for bibliographical purposes with many smaller
collections.
27
When an extra leaf was inserted in a quire an extra width of inner
margin was allowed it, to form a guard, so that the leaf could be sewn into
the quire, and when books are in their original binding this guard will be seen
in the corresponding place on the opposite side of the quire to the inserted
leaf, showing at once which leaf has been inserted. This, of course, can often
be determined by the watermarks.
But when there are two inserted leaves or cancels, one on each side of
the centre of the quire, watermarks do not always help us.
When the guards are left there is no trouble, but these guards tend to
thicken the back, and that is a thing no modern binder will stand, so in
rebinding they used to cut off the guard and paste the leaf down to the one
next it. In this case, if the watermarks happen to run correctly, there is no
possibility of detecting that the leaves are really inserted ones or cancels, and
not set up and printed in the ordinary way.
Of most of their books Sweynheym and Pannartz printed a copy or copies
on vellum, and these are, I think, without exception, the most beautiful book3
that exist They were, as a rule, illuminated with borders and initials, and
the Italian taste in that class of work was unrivalled. There is a Livy in the
British Museum, and a Pliny in the Rylands Library and at Shirburn Castle.
The Imperial Library at Vienna is the richest in such books, for it has
vellum copies of the Hieronymi Epistolas, the Apuleius, the Aulus Gellius, and
the Caesar. The first three all originally belonged to Cardinal Bessarion, a
patron of the printers, and were looted from the library of St Mark's, in Venice,
by the Austrians. The Caesar belonged to Prince Eugene. Cardinal
Bessarion's copy of his own book is only on paper, so that probably no
vellum copies were printed.
Among the later books of very considerable rarity may be mentioned the
Cicero, Epistolae ad familiares, and the Terence of 1472, the Aristotle and
Strabo of 1473, the Aquinas of 1475, ^^^ ^^^ Perottus of 1476.
The Cicero, Epistolae ad familiares is not in the British Museum,
Bodleian, or Lord Crawford's collection, and the Terence also is wanting
there.
The Aristotle Ethics of 1473 ^^ the first book from the press wanting in
Lord Spencer's series. There is a copy in the British Museum and there was
one a year or two ago in Quaritch's catalogue for a very low price considering
the great rarity of the book. This may be the copy which was obtained for
28
the Chandler Aristotle collection in Pembroke College, Oxford. Of the
Perottus of 1476, not a particularly interesting book, there seems to be no
copy in the larger English libraries, and the collation was made from the one
in the Bibltothique Nationale.
The total number of books issued from this press, including the unknown
Donatus, is sixty-four, and of these the Rylands Library (Spencer Collection)
has fifty-seven, the Bodleian fifty-five, Lord Crawford forty-seven, and the
British Museum forty-six. The Rylands set has the first forty*six, and
several of the later volumes wanting to complete the set are fairly common,
and might easily be obtained. I have appended to these brief notes a copy
of the (Original catalogue as given in the prefatory letter of the Lyra of 1472,
adding under each entry the dates of the editions referred to and the number
of the collation. The usual number of copies printed was 275, more rarely
300. When the book was in two volumes, each volume was counted, so that
the 550 of the entry meant 275 copies of the complete work. This division
into volumes is very arbitrary. The Ovid, which divides clearly and exactly
into three volumes, is classed as two. The Cicero, Opera Philosophica, 1471,
though in two volumes, is entered as one. Though the complete work of
Nicholas de Lyra is in five volumes, only four volumes (making up the iioo)
had been printed when this letter was issued in 1472.
The following collations are mainly the result of independent work on
different copies by Mr Edmond and myself. Most of his collations were
made from books in the Library at Haigh Hall, mine from the Spencer
Collection, now in the John Rylands Library, Manchester. Besides these,
however, many other copies in various libraries in France, Germany, Italy,
and America, as well as in the British Museum and University Libraries, were
collated vfhen opporttmity offered.
Where a dagger (-f*) is prefixed to a number it denotes that the collation
is mine alone, and that Mr Edmond had not examined a copy. When an
asterisk is prefixed, that I had not seen a copy and the collation is Mr
Edmond's.
Almost all the books printed by Pannartz alone (Nos. 53-64) have a
Registrum Chartarum, so that their collations offer no difficulty. They have
been added here to make the series complete, and also because in many
cases the leaf containing the Registrum has been lost or destroyed by the
binder.

THE EARLY VIEWS AND PLANS OF EDINBURGH/
By WILLIAM COWAN.
IT is somewhat remarkable that in none of the numerous works dealing
with the history and topography of Edinburgh is there to be found a
complete list or description of the early views and plans of the city. The
only approach to this is contained in Sir Daniel Wilson's Memorials of
Edinburgh^ Appendix II., entitled "Ancient Maps and Views of Edinburgh."
This, however, contains only a short account of some of these early views;
the details of the descriptions are not complete, and little attempt is made to
give what may be termed bibliographical information regarding them.
The object of the present paper is to g^ve a list, complete so far as
present knowledge extends, of all the views or plans of the city previous to
the middle of the eighteenth century. It has been judged advisable to close
the list at that important epoch when the North Bridge and the New Town
were projected, and the great extension of the city both to the north and
south took place. With the rise and progress of the New Town both views
and plans began to be published in ever increasing numbers.
In the following list, besides giving full descriptions of the views and
plans themselves, the aim has been to supply as much information as possible
regarding the circumstances of their publication, with titles and descriptions
of the works in which they appeared. Also, in the case of those which
appeared in more than one publication, the changes made upon the plates in
the several issues are carefully noted.
Nothing is more common than to find copies of these views and plans
separated from the books to which they originally belonged, and the informa-
tion here given may therefore be found useful in solving the difficulty of
identifying the various engravings of the same view, or impressions of the
same plate.
The views in Slezer's Theatrum Scotia supply a notorious instance of
' Read March 9th, 1905.
38
this difficulty. A large number of copies of all the editions of that work have
evidently been broken up and the views put upon the market separately.
Other copies have had additional views inserted in them, while the possessors
of the plates seem to have occasionally thrown off and issued separate impres-
sions of such as were likely to find a sale. Besides, the views were copied
and re-engraved for other publications. It will be noticed that under No. 17,
a view of Edinburgh from the north, reference is made to the difficulty of
determining whether the larger form of that view appeared in the 1719
edition of the Theatrum Scotia. It is rather remarkable that in spite of many
enquiries, the writer has been unable to meet with a copy of that edition in
its original condition. The copies he has seen have either had plates abstracted
from, or inserted in them.
It is more than likely that there are in existence other views or plans of
the city published during the period in question which are not included in
the present list, and the writer will be glad to receive particulars as to any
such, or any further information regarding those now described
39
LIST OF VIEWS AND PLANS.
1* Pen and ink sketch, probably representing Edinburgh Castle, in a manuscript of
Geoffrey of Monmouth's Hisiaria Britonum. British Museum : Royal MSS. 13 A iii.
This manuscript contains on its nuu'gins a number of small sketches of towns and castles referred
to in the text of the work. Most of these have names attached, but on the recto of folio 33 at the
foot of the page there is one, representing a fortress on the top of a steep rock, to which no name is
given. The only indication of the artist's intention is furnished by a passage in the text which occurs
at the top of the page containing the sketch. It is as follows: — "Condidit etiam Ebraucus
nrbem Aldud versus Albaniam, et oppidum montis Agned : quod nunc castellum puellarum dicitur
et montem Dolosorum." This leaves it doubtful whether the sketch is intended for Dumbarton
(Alchid) or Edinburgh (Castellum puellarum). The manuscript is believed to have been written
towards the end of the 13th century, but the sketches are by a later hand, and were probably
added during the early part of the 14th century.
2. View of Edinburgh from the north.
An original sketch preserved in the British Museum : Cott MSS. Augustus I. ii. 56.
In this sketch the whole length of the city is shown from the Castle to Holyrood. In the fore-
ground are several bodies of soldiers advancing on the town, and carrying banners bearing the
St George's Cross. One of these bodies is apparently entering the town by the Water Gate. The
city proper is represented with some approximation to accuracy as consisting of three divisions
divided from each other lengthwise by two parallel streets, presumably the High Street and Cow-
gate, while the suburb of the Canongate is shown as a single street with houses on both sides.
The Church of St Giles occupies a position in the centre of the city, and to the extreme south a
large building appears which may probably represent the Kirk of Field. The Netherbow Port is
shown flanked by two towers, and the Abbey and Palace of Holyrood are delineated with con-
riderable detail. Above the latter is the inscription : " The kyng of Scotts palas." The roofii of
the houses in the dty proper, and those of the Holyrood buUdings, are coloured red, while the
houses of the Canongate are a blue grey. An exact reproduction of the sketch appeared in the
Bstmatyne CM Afiuellan/, Vol. I., page 185. Dr Laing, the editor of the volume, was of
opinion that the sketch may be assigned to the year 1544, when the English forces under the Earl
of Hertford entered the city and devastated it by fire. The map of " The Kingdome of Great
Britain and Ireland " in Speed's Tkealn of the Empire of Grtat Britam^ 161 1, has as an inset a
plan entitled " Edynburgh," which appears to be a copy on a small scale of this sketch.
3. Three small woodcuts illustrating the battle of Pinkie (loth September 1547) con-
tained in The Expeduion inia Scotldde of the , , . Duhe of Soomerstt . . . by W,
PaiUn, London, 1548. {Su Publications E.B.S., Vol. III., No. 5.]
These cuts are intended to show the position of the English and Scottish troops at different
stages of the battle. In each of them Edinburgh is shown at the top or west side of the plan.
The town is indicated by a steep slope crowned by the Castle. Holyrood Abbey and Arthur's Seat
are also inserted.
4- View of Edinburgh and Leith from the Firth of Forth.
Published in Sebastian Munster's Cosmographia UfUvtrsaiis. Basle, 1550.
This view aooompanies the description of Edinburgh, written for the above work by Alexander
Alestns. At the foot of the woodcut references are given by letters to certain buildings. The
4Q
relative positions of these are indicated ivith a certain amount of accuracy, but the delineations of
the buildings are entirely imaginary, and the view as. a whole is absolutely worthless as a repre-
sentation of the city. It seems to have been made up from Alesius' description by one who had
never seen the place.
A reproduction of the woodcut, with a translation of the description, is given by Professor Hume
Brown in his Scotland before 1700. Another appeared in No. I of the Scottish Historical Review ^
October 1903.
5. The Scene of the murder of Damley at the Kirk of Field. 1567.
Original contemporary sketch preserved in H.M, State Paper Office.
It is not easy to reconcile the details of this sketch with the actual known podtion of many of
the localities and buildings depicted. Various attempts at explanation have been made, but
none of them have been quite satisfactory. The locality represented is the portion of the city
lying adjacent to the town wall, from the Kirk of Field Port (also called the Potter Row Port) on
the west to the grounds of the Blackfriars' Monastery on the east In the sketch the wall is
shown in two portions running at right angles to each other, whereas in actual fact the wall (with
the exception of the little angle close to the Kirk of Field Port) ran practically in a straight line
from west to cast between the above two points. Possibly the explanation may be that the sketch
is really in two portions, taken from two different points of view, and was not intended to be
taken as a consistent whole. On this supposition, in tlie lower and right hand portion, the
spectator is looking from north to south ; on the right, or west, is the Kirk of Field Port with the
Potter Row running southward beyond it ; in the foreground are the ruins of the Kirk of Field
with the town wall beyond them running from west to east, and to the left or east of this is the ** Kirk
of Field Kirk Yard." In the left hand portion of the sketch the spectator, instead of continuing to
look from north to south, is looking east from the said Kirk Yard ; beyond the latter (that is,
above it in the sketch) are shown the buildings where the murder took place, and beyond this
again the grounds of the Blackfriars, while to the right (that is, south) of these runs the town
wall.
This sketch has been several times reproduced. A facsimile, coloured in imitation of the
original, is given in the volume of charters of the Collegiate Churches of Midlothian, issued by
the Bannatyne Club in 1 861. Reproductions on a reduced scale are also given in several modem
historical works dealing with the reign of Queen Mary.
6. View or plan of the city illustrating the siege of the (Dastle in 1573.
Published in Holinshed's Chronicles, 1577.
This plan is intended to illustrate the siege of the Castle of Edinburgh, when it was held by Sir
William Kirkaldy of Grange on behalf of Queen Mary, and attacked by the English troops under
the command of Sir William Drury. The details of the streets and buildings of the town have
not much in common with the reality, but the line of the walls and the position of the several
gates are fairly accurate, llie positions occupied by the attacking forces are depicted with great
minuteness. On the back of the woodcut there is printed *' The names of such Gentlemen and
Captaines as had charge at the siege and wynning of Edenbui^h Castell. Anno. 1573.*' A repro-
duction of this woodcut is given in the Bannatyne Miscellany ^ Vol. II., along wiUi ** A survey
taken of the Castle and towne of Edinbrogh in Scotland, by us Rowland Johnson and John
Fleminge ... by the comandement of S' William Drury . . . ," printed from the original
manuscript in the British Museum. The closing sentence of this document b as follows : — "And
for a more perfitness of this Declaracion, the said Johnson is makinge of a Platte, which declarethe
everythinge accordingly; which wilbe don shortly." Possibly the present woodcut was taken
from this " Platte.''
41
7' View or plan of the city from the south.
In the lower left hand corner of the plate is an ornamental frame containing the
title '' Edenburgvm Scotiae Metropolis." At the top is the word '' Edenbvrg," also
enclosed in an ornamental frame, and at the foot in the foreground are four figures,
two male and two female, illustrative presumably of the costumes of the country.
Published in Civitaies Orbts Terrarum^ by Georgius Braun or Bruin and Francis
Hogenbeig.
This work was issued in six volumes at different times. No dates are found on the several title-
pages, but the preface to what appears to be the earliest edition of Vol. I. is dated 1573. The
work consists of plans or views of the towns of the world, each with descriptive letterpress printed
on the back, and editions were issued in Latin, French and German. The plan of Edinburgh is
Na 4 in Vol. III., which was probably published about 1582. The dty is depicted in a style
similar to that of the 1573 plan (No. 6), but is even lest accurate than the latter. The description,
which is printed on the back of the left band half of the plan, is that by Alexander Alesius (see
under No. 4), with some slight alterations.
The plan was reissued, apparently from the same plate, altered as undemoted, in Theairum
Praedpuarum Urbium PosUarum ad SepUtttrioftalem Eunpat Plagam, This title is engraved
and is followed by a printed title, lUusiriarum Principumqw Urbium St^tntrimmlium Rurapae
Tabukte, AmsUUdamu Ex OffUina Joannis Jansscnii, The work is undated, but was prob-
ably published about 1650. The alterations on the Edinburgh plate are the removal entirely of the
figures in the foreground and the title at the top ; while the wording of the title at the lower
comer is altered to "Edenbvrgvm Vulgo Edenbvrg". Further, the plate is generally, though
not always, coloured. The description, which extends over both halves of the back of the plate,
is again that of Alesius, in Latin, but there is inserted in the middle of it an account of the
takhig of the castle from the Englbh by Douglas of Liddesdale and others in 1341.
Among the manuscripts in the British Museum there is a volume (Add. MSS. 1 1564) containing
drawings of the plans of 1 16 English and other towns. It is not known when or by whom the
drawings were executed. They consist of copies, so far as they go, of the plates in Braun's work
just described, but the greater part of the detail is left out ; all that is delineated being the walls
and gates of the towns, any castle or fortifications, and in some cases one or two prominent
buildings, generally churches. The names are all in French, there being a list of places at the
beginning of the volume. The plan of Edinburgh is No. 26 and is entitled " Plan d'Edimbourg
Principalle Ville d'Escosse." The Castle, the walls, and the Nor* Loch are shown as in Braun ;
also the few houses outside the walls, and the church in the south-east quarter of the city possibly
intended for the Kirk of Field. With this exception the whole space inside the walls is blank.
A copy of Braun*s view very much reduced in size appears in Vol. I. of Umversus Terrarum
Orbis . . . Studio €t lab^re AlpJwuiLascr a Varta ( Raphael Savonarola), Padua, 1713.
Reproductions are also found in several modem works.
8. View of the city introduced as a background to a portrait of Charles I. on horse-
back, engraved by Cornelius van Dalen.
In the upper left hand comer of the plate is the title "The high & mighty
Monarch, Charles by y^ grace of God King of Great Brittaine, France & Ireland
Defendor of the Fayth, etc." and at the foot " Cor v. Dalen sculp."
This engraving bears no date, but it was probably executed about 1638, in which year Van
Dalen is believed to have left England and returned to Holland. The view of Edinburgh
occupies the lower portion of the plate, appearing below the body and between the legs of the
king's horse. To the left is the Castle, and on the extreme right the two towers of Holyrood, while
F
42
stretching up from the latter aie two rows of houses, probably intended for the Canongate and
High Street and the Cowgate. The wall is abo shown bounding the city on the south. Im-
mediately above the view is the name *' Edynburgh/'
Plan or view of the city by James Gordon of Rothiemay.
In the left hand upper comer are the Royal Arms of Scotland with the motto '* Est
nobilis ira leonis." To the right of this is a diagram showing the points of the com-
pass. In the right hand upper comer are *'a scale of walking spaces " and the arms of the
city of Edinburgh in the form of a castle with two towers. In the lower left hand comer
is a tablet with the following dedication : — " Viro Amplissimo D. Archibaldo Todo,
Praefecto Vrbis Dignissimo ; nee non Edwardo Edgaro, Archibaldo Sydserfio, loanni
Fermaeo, loanni lossaeo, Scabinis lectissimis ; Caeterisque Senatoribus vigilantissimis,
Fidelissimis, Consultissimis : Hanc novam Civitatis Regise, antiquissime et nobilissime
Edinodvnensis Tabulam lacobus Gordinius P. Rothemayus Dignitatis Vestre cliens
observantissimus D. D. D. C. Q." To the right of this tablet are the words : " F. de
Wit Excudit Amstelodami.'' In the lower right hand corner is a list, in Latin and
English, of streets and buildings with letters and numbers referring to those in the
plan.
James Gordon, who executed this plan, was the son of Robert Gordon of Straloch, who was
associated with Timothy Pont in compiling the volume dealing with Scotland in Bleau's Atlas.
He was educated for the ministry, and in 1641 was presented to the church of Rothiemay. Early
in 1647 he was employed by the Town Council of Edinburgh to make a plan of the city, and on
2nd April 1647, the Council <* ordaines the Thesaurer, Patrick Thomsone, to resave from M! James
Gordonn, Minister at Rothemay, the Draught of the Toun done be him at command of the
Counsell, and ordaines the said Thesaurer to pay to him for his paines and travellis in drawing of
the said Draught the soume of fyve hundreth merks money.*' In further acknowledgment of hb
services Gordon was made a burgess and guild brother of Edinburgh. Gordon's plan is certainly
the earliest which can be relied upon as giving a fairly accurate representation of the city. All the
streets, closes and buildings south of the High Street are very clearly shown ; the houses north of
the High Street are represented in a more conventional manner, and the closes running north from
the High Street do not appear. The foUowing note at the end of the table of streets, etc, refers to
this : — "Of the 76 wyns and closses upon the north syde of the toune ther ar only set donne tno, to
wit, Hackerstons wyn, Lieth wyn." In a few cases Gordon has inserted buildings which were
unfinished or merely projected when he made his drawing. One of these is the church on the north
side of the Castle-Ull, which the Council resolved to build in 1636, but which was abandoned at a
later date. Heriot's Hospital also is shown completed with the north central tower surmounted by
a spire which was never erected.
As the plate bears, the plan was engraved in Holland by F. de Wit. It was probably published
in the first instance separately or with the other views by Gordon (Nos. xo and ix below). Shortly
afterwards it appeared in a folio volume published at Amsterdam, i^athout date, but probably about
1690. The title of this volume is in three languages as follows : — '* Theatrum Praedpuaium
Totius Enropae Urbium tam ichnographice quam conspicue Delineatarum. Afbeeldinge van de
Voornaamste Steden van Europa In Platte Gronden et in Profil. Le Theatre De Plusieurs Plans
et Profils des Plus Renommeez Villes de T Europe, t' Amsterdam, by Frederick de Wit, Konst en
Kaart verkoper in de Kalverstraat in de witte Pascaart. Met Privilegie van de Heeren Staten van
Holland en Westvrieslant." The views in the volume are numbered and indexed, Gordon's plan
being No. X04.
The plan was re-engraved and published by Andrew Johnston, in London, about 171a In this
reproduction the accessories are all changed. At the top of the plate in the centre is the title
43
« The Plan of Edeoburgh Exactly done from the Original of y« &mous D : Wit." To the right of
this are the Royal Arms of Scotland with supporters and crest, and the motto " Nemo me impune
lacesset." To the left of the title is a reduced copy of the view of the Castle from the east
(Na 1 8 below). In the right hand upper corner are the arms of the city in their present form, a
castle triple towered ; to the left of this is a reduced copy of the view of Edinburgh from the
Dean (No. i6 below) ; and underneath this at the right hand edge of the plate is *'a scale of
walking spaces'* upon a pedestal surmounted by a cupid holding a flag with the St Andrew's
Cross. In the left hand lower comer is a dedication *'To the Hon^'" George Lockhart,
Representative in Parliament for the County of Edenburgh '* signed *• And' Johnston." The
table of streets is entirely removed and in its place is a reduced copy of the view of Edinburgh
from the north (No. 17 below). At the foot of the plate is the imprint " Engraven for And'
lohnston and sold by him at y« Golden Eagle in Old Round Court in y« Strand & by Will°*
Taylor at y* ship in Pater Noster Row & Robert Hulton y* comer of Pell-Mell aga** y^ Hay-
market." In the plan itself the letters and numbers, which in the original referred to the list
of streets, etc., are retained in spite of the &ct that in the alienee of the list itself they have
no meaning, but several streets and buildings have their nyaes inserted. The only actual
changes in the plan seem to be the obliteration of the flesh stocks at the head of the Canongate,
and the insertion of the five vrater welb erected in 1674. This plate seems to have passed into the
hands of the publishers of Slezer's Tkeatrum Sc&ti^, It appears in the edition of that work pub-
lished by Joseph Smith in 17 19. The former imprint is deleted, and the following takes its place : —
" Printed for and sold by I. Smith at his Shop in the West-End of Exeter Change in the Strand."
The plate is again included in the edition of Slezer, published in 18 19, edited by Dr Jamieson. In
this impression the imprint is ** Printed and Sold by John Bowles at the Black Horse in Comhill."
Gordon's plan was also re-engraved for, and included in, La GaUrit AgreabU du Mondi^ a work
in 66 volumes published at Ley den by Pierre Vander Aa. The work is undated, but was probably
issued between 1720 and 1730. The plan of Edinburgh is engraved on two sheets, numbered 87
and 88 of the part of the work relating to Great Britain and Ireland. The plan itself is exaaly
copied from the original, but some changes are made in the accessories. The tablet with the
original dedication to the Magistrates of Edinburgh b replaced by the title " Plan de la Ville
d'Edenbouxg, Capitale d'Ecosse. A Leide, chez Pierre Vander Aa." The royal arms in the left
upper comer are retained as in the original, but the shield containing the city arms is altered, and
the scale of paces is omitted from the top of the plate and inserted in a simpler form below the
title. Further, in the list of streets several slight changes are made, mainly in the spelling, such as
" wynd" in place of "wyn"; *'bow" instead of "bolb."
An accurately engraved focsimile of the original plan was given in A Siries of Plans and Illus'
trations of the City of Edinburgh from the Earliest Records to the Present Time, by Robert
Kirkwood, Edinburgh, 1817. The title below the plate is ** Facsimile of Gordon of Rothemay's
Bird's Eye View of Edinburgh Taken in 1647. From an impression of the original in the pos-
session of Duncan Cowan, Esq., one of the Magistrates of the City."
Another copy of the original, or possibly the same one as that just referred to, was in the
possession of Dr David Laing, and is now in the Library of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.
From it a lithographic facsimile was made by Messrs W. & A. K. Johnston in 1865, and pub-
lished by them along with a historical notice by Dr Laing. Reproductions of the plan, in whole
or part, also appear in various modem works on Edinburgh.
lo- Two views of the city from the south and north, by Gordon of Rothiemay.
The views are engraved on one plate ; the upper view bears the title " Vrbis Edinse
Fades Meridionalis. The Prospect of the South syde of Edinbrugh," and the lower
"Vrbis Edinae Latvs Septentrionale. The Prospect of the North syde of Edinbrugh."
At the foot of each view is a numbered list, in Latin, of buildings, streets, etc., and the
44
upper view has also a shorter list in English. Several names of places are also inserted
in the views themselves.
Gordon's intention in making these drawings is explained in the following paragraph from his
Description of both towns of Aberdun — " I have subjoined the prospect of Aberdeen to the Mappe
theroff ; the lyke quhairoffl did at such tyme as I had occasione to descryve Edinburgh, adding two
little prospects to its Mappe ; quhairoff I thought it necessar also to admonish the reader, for the
cutter of that draught hes both abusit the buyer and me ; for having enlargit the two prospects of
Edinburgh, thereby to make the draughts sell the deirer he hes falsified both the prospects by that
meins, so that nather of thame looks lyke the copyes and which is worse not lyke to the two syds
of the Citie of Edinburgh, being misshapped according to his owne fancies." The two views
appear in the volume entitled *'Theatrum . . . Europae Urbium," published by De Wit at
Amsterdam, described above under No. 9. The plate is No. 105 and is indexed thus : — *' Eden-
buxg Profil van de Noort en Suyt 2yde." The views again appear as No. 89 in P. Vander Aa's
Galorit Agnabli du Monde, They are exactly the same as in De Wit's book and nuy have been
printed from the same plate. The No. 89 is added at the right hand lower comer.
II. Four views of buildings in Edinburgh by Gordon of Rothiemay, each bearing a title,
in Latin and English, in the upper part of the plate as follows : —
Palatium Regium Edinense, quod & Coenobium S. Crucis. llie royal Palace of
holy-rood-hous. by J. G.
Castrum Edinense quod & olim Arx Puellarum. The Castle of Edinborrough
from the West Porte, by J. G.
Herioti Orphanotrium. Heriots Hospital, by J, G.
Curia Supremi Conventus Ordinum Regni Scotise, vulgo Domus Parliament]]. The
Parliament House in Edinborrough. by J. G.
These views were engraved by De Wit and appear together on one plate in his '* Theatrum . . .
Europse Urbium" already described. The plate b No. 106 and is indexed thus ^'t'Casteel,
Parlements Huys, Stadt Huys, Kerk en Gast Huys van Edenburg." They again appear in P.
Vander Aa's La Galerie AgnabU du Monde numbered 91 and 94. That the drawings were made
by Gordon about the same time as his large plan of the city appears from the facts that Holyrood
Palace is shown as it was previous to the fire in 1650 ; that the view of the Castle has the "spur**
which was destroyed in 1649 ; and that Heriot's Hospital, as in the large plan, is depicted with
the spire which was probably part of the original design, but which was never erected. Reduced
reproductions of the views of Holyrood, the Castle, and the Parliament House are given in Vols.
I. and n. of the Bannaiyne Miscellany \ and a lithographed copy of the view of Heriot's
Hospital appears in a pamphlet entitled " Who was the Architect of Heriot*s Hospital," by R.
Ritchie, 1855.
12, View of the city from the south.
At the top of the plate is the title "Edenburgum Civitas Scotiae Celeberrima."
Below this on a flying scroll is the word " Edynburgum " ; and in the upper left hand
corner the Royal Arms of Scotland, very inaccurately drawn, with the lion facing the
wrong way. At the foot are three eight line stanzas of poetry, in I^tin, Dutch, and
French respectively ; the first two signed " A. Montanus,'' the last " I. Bara." To the
right of the last are the words — " Rombout van den Hoyen excud."
It b difficult to fix exactly the date of this view. It appears to be earlier than 1650, as Holy-
rood Palace, which was much damaged by fire in that year, is shown in an uninjured condition.
There is also shown the Weigh House Steeple destroyed by Cromwell in the same year. On the
45
Other hand, a building with a short steeple in the centre of the town is probably intended for the
Tron Oiarchy which was opened in 1647. The view is very inaccurate in its details, and is of
little value as a representation of the city. It has been frequently reproduced, generally on a smaller
scale. One of these copies appears in P. Vander Aa's La GaUru AgreabU du Monde, Another is in a
small quarto volume without a title-page in the British Museum Library, containing 17 plans of
towns in Britain.
13. View of the city from the south.
At the top of the plate on a scroll is the title '' The Citie of Edenbvrgh from the
South." In the left hand upper comer are the city arms with a fox as the sinister
supporter instead of the usual hind. In the right hand upper comer is an ornamental
frame containing the following dedication : — " Ampl. Consult Viris D. D. Praetori,
Scabinis, iEdili, Quaestori, & Reliquis Senatoribus inclytse Civit. Edinburgensis
Tabulam hanc L.M.D.D.D. Johannes Ogilvius." At the foot is a list of 27 buildings
and localities with numbered referencest and at the end of these the words ** W. Hollar
fecit 1670."
Though this plate is dated 1670, the drawing seems to have been made at an earlier date. As in
the previous view (No. 12) Holyrood Palace appears as it was before 1650, and the Weigh House
Steeple is also shown quite distinctly. Heriot's Hospital is introduced at the extreme left of the
view, but is so incorrectly drawn as to make it probable that the artist had never seen the
building as completed in 165a Both as a whole and in its details, this view is much more
accurate and reliable than Na 12. The only copy of the engraving at present known is in the
Royal Library, Windsor, and of this a photozincograph reproduction is given in Part III. of The
National Manuscripts of Scotland,
■4- Plan of the city inserted in a map of the United Kingdom entitled *' A new and
Exact Map of Great Britannie containing the three Kingdomes of England Scotland
and Ireland with the Principalitie of Wales as also an Addition of several of y* cheef
cities belonging to the said Kingdomes. London, Printed and Published by John
Owerton at the Black Horse without Newgate." The plan of Edinburgh is of small
size, measuring 5^ x 2\ inches. At the top is the name '*Edynbvrgh" and a
numbered list of buildings, etc.
This map of the United Kingdom is said to be engraved by W. Hollar. The inserted plans or
views are seven in number. Two on the right side of the map are entitled '* London bdbre the
fire," and " Prospect of London in the time of its flames " ; and the five on the left side are plans
of the cities of York, Edinburgh, Dublin, Oxford and Cambridge. The date of publication is
probably shortly after the great fire of 1666.
15* View entitled ''Fades Arcis Edenburgeenae. The Southside of the Castle of
Edinburgh."
This view is Plate No. i of Captain John Slezer's Theatrum SioHct^ London, 1693.
For information regarding the various editions of Slezer's work, see the PnbUcaiiom of the
Edinburgh Bibliographical Society^ VoL III., page 144.
This view is taken from a point somewhere near the present site of the Fire Station at the head
of Lady Lawson Street The line of houses forming the then suburb of Wester Portsbnrgh appears
between the spectator and the Castle rock. On the right is shown the last extension of the city
46
wall, including the tower still standing in the Vennel, and beyond it Heriot's Hospital, with the
north central tower in an unfinished condition.
In the two editions of Slezer's work published in 1718, and in that of 1814, this plate appears
unaltered, except that below the title there b added a dedication to Sir George Warrender, Lord
Provost of Edinburgh, and Member of Parliament for the city from 17 18 to 172 1.
A much reduced copy of the view appears in Vol. VI. of Les DiUces dt la Grantf Bretagne &
de VIrlandey par James Buvertll^ A^M.^ published at Leyden by Pierre Vander Aa in 1707; and
again in the same publisher's La Galtrie Agreabh du Monde,
16. View entitled "Prospectus Civitatis Edinburgenae a prsedio Dean dicto. The
Prospect of Edinbrugh from y* Dean."
This view is Plate No. 2 of Captain John Slezer's Theatrum Scotia^ London, 1693.
In the foreground of the view is the viUage upon the Water of Leith, while in the background
appear the Castle and city, St Cuthbert's Churdi occupying a prominent position at the head of
the Nor' Loch. In the 1718 and 18 14 editions of Slez^r's work, this plate is dedicated to Sir
James Stewart of Goodtrees. As in the case of the last view (No. 15) the present is included in
the two works published in Leyden by P. Vander Aa. A reduced copy of it is introduced at the
top of the copy of Gordon's plan published by Andrew Johnston about 17 10 (see No. 9). Many
of the original plates of Slexer's work seem to have passed through tbe hands of various publishers,
who issued impressions of them from time to time. An impression of this plate was published by
" H. Bryer, Cornhill." In this the title is simply "The Prospect of Edinburg from the Dean,"
and the plat^is altered by the insertion of several figures, one of these, in the foreground, being a
man in highland dress.
17. View of the city from the north.
Among the papers relating to Captain John Slezer and his Theatrum Scoiia, preserved in the
Register House, Edinburgh, and printed in the Bannatyns MUcellany^ VoL II., there is one
headed " Debursments by Captain Slezer upon the intended second edition of this work ... for
drawing and ingraving these following prints." One of the items in the paper is ** For drawing
and ingraving the toun of Ed'- in tuo great sheets." The view now under consideration is very
probably that so referred to, but as there are two engravings of it, differing considerably in point of
size, it is not easy to determine which of these is the original plate prepared by Slezer himself.
The smaller of the two engravings, measuring 32^ by 15 inches, is included in both of the editions
of the Theatrum Scotia^ published in 1718. In the upper left hand comer of the plate is the title
** The Prospect of Edinburgh from y« North," and underneath the plate is a dedication to the
Marquis of Annandale, in which he is designated Lord Lieutenant of the Shire of Dumfries, an
office to which he was appointed in 1 71 5. The issue of the plate with this dedication cannot, there-
fore, be earlier than that date. This, however, does not determine the date of the engraving itself,
and there is preserved in the British Museum, in a volume of Scottish Views and Plans (Pressmark,
K. 49), a copy without any lettering. It has neither the title at the top nor the dedication. It
may be noted that in the 17 18 edition of Slezer's work dedications were added to the greater
number of the plates.
The larger engraving of the same view measures 42 by 16 inches. It has in the centre of the
upper portion of tbe plate a garlanded scroll borne by two winged cherubs containing the title
" The North Prospect of the City of Edenburgh." Underneath the plate is the following dedica-
tion, " To Her Most Sacred Majesty Queen Anne This Prospect of Her Ancient Qty of Edenburgh
the Metropolis of North Britain is humbly Dedicated and Devoted by Her Majesties most Dutifull
and most Obedient Subject and Servant." In none of the copies seen by the present writer is
there any signature to this dedication, but most of them have printed in the left hand comer '* Sold
by J. Smith at the Sign of Exeter Exchange in the Strand." As J. Smith was the publisher of
47
the edition of the Tkeatrum Scotia inued in 1719, it is probable that it was the larger engraving
which was included in that edition. It again appears in the edition of 18x4. In this the title and
dedication to Queen Anne are retained, but instead of the name of J. Smith as publisher, it bears
" Printed and Sold by John Bowles at the Black Horse in Comhill."
So far as the two dedications are concerned, that to Queen Anne must, of course, be the earlier,
but, as already mentioned, one copy at least of the smaller engraving is extant without the dedica-
tion, and there are other considerations which seem to point to the conclusion that the larger plate
is later than the smaller and was, in fact, copied from it. Although on a larger scale the " Queen
Anne" plate is much more roughly executed than the other, and it is deficient in many small
details which are carefully given in the smaller plate. Also portions of the latter amounting to
about one and three eighths of an inch at the one end, and five eighths of an inch at the other, are en-
tirely awanting in the large plate. Apart from such small difference, the two engravings are so entirely
alike that it may be taken as certain that the one is a copy of the other.
A very much reduced plate of the same view is inserted in the copy of Gordon of Rothtemay's
plan engraved by Andrew Johnston about 1 710 (see above under No. 9). This bears the title at
the top, "The North Prospect of the City of Edinburgh," and has a dedication to Archibald
Campbell, Esq., surmounted by the arms of the Argyll family.
It may be noted that the original drawing of this view was probably made prior to 1690, for the
Canongate Church, which was ready for occupation about that date, does not appear in it, though
from its position the artist could hardly have failed to include it had it been in existence when he
made his sketch.
The view is taken from the Calton Hill and shows the entire length of the city from the Castle
to Holyrood. The steeples of St Giles*, the Tron Church, the Netherbow Port and the Canongate
Tolbooth are prominent objects, and these, as well as the other buildings, seem to have been carefully
and accurately drawn. The ground to the north of the houses in the High Street and Canongate is
shown as gardens, plentifully planted with trees and shrubs. Altogether this view may be taken as
a £uthlul representation of the dty at the end of the seventeenth century.
1 8. View of the Castle entitled at fool " The North East View of Edinburgh Castle."
In the list (referred to under No. 17) of views prepared by Captain Slexer for the second edition
of his work, one of the items is the " Castle of Ed'* " In all likelihood the present is the view thus
referred to, for it appears in one of the 17 18 editions of the Tkeatrum Scotia, In this impression
the upper portion of the plate contains a dedication to George, Earl of Orkney, Governor of the
Castle. Copies of the plate are found without this dedication, and in this form it is included in the
1814 edition of the Tkeatrum Scotia, A much reduced copy of the view is inserted at the top of
the copy of Gordon's plan engraved by Andrew Johnston about 17 10 (see No. 9).
19. Plan of the city by William Edgar, 1742.
Published in The History of Edinburgh^ by William Maitland, 1753.
At the left upper corner are the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom and those of
the city of Edinburgh. Between these on an ornamental tablet is the following title
"The Plan of the City and Castle of Edinburgh by Will"- Edgar, Architect anno 1742."
In the lower right hand corner is a table of wynds, closes and buildings lettered and
numbered with reference to the plan. Below the plate is the engraver's name, thus : —
" P. Fourdrinier, Sculp."
It is stated by Sir Daniel Wilson that this plan was *' drawn by W"*- Edgar for the purpose of
being published on a much larger scale ; but he died before this could be accomplished, when it was
fortunately engraved by Maitland " ; and in the table of wynds, closes, etc, in the engraved plan,
there is a reference to " Places whose names are inserted in the original Plan that cannot, for want
48
of room, be pat in this reduced plan." This plan is most carefully executed, and is an accurate
and valuable representation of the city, as it was at the period immediately preceding the extensive
schemes of improvement inaugurated by Lord Provost Dnunmond in 1752.
In 1765 the plan was reprinted, a number of alterations being made on the plate. The date in
the title is altered to 1765, and below the Royal Arms is inserted the following :— ** N.B. All the
New Buildings, etc., are Expressed in this Plan to the Present Year by an Eminent Engineer."
Among the new buildings so " expressed " are the Exchange on the north side of the High Street,
Brown Square, Adam Square, and St Cecilia's Hall in Niddrie's Wynd. There is also inserted
the proposed line of the new North Bridge and that of a " New Road," through what b called
" Lady Nicholson's Park." This road is now Nioolsoo Street. In the list of wynds, etc, the
names of five closes, demolished to make way for the Exchange and the North Bridge, are deleted,
other references being substituted for them.
A reproduction of Edgar's plan was published in Robert Chambers' Rnkiana^ 1833. The title
of this is *' Copy of the Plan of the City and Castle of Edinburgh by W"*- Edgar Architect Anno
1743 Re-engraved by W*- Murphy Edin'*" The plan itself is an exact copy of the original as it
appeared in Maitland's History, but the Royal and City Arms are omitted, and in the upper
comers there are inserted two small views, one of Edinburgh from the south, apparently copied
from the 17th century view (No. 13 above) ; the other the buildings of Holyrood from Gordon's
plan (No. 9). The original list of wynds, etc, is retained with some additional names of buildings,
and a note is appended as to certain closes which had been destroyed previous to the date of issue.
20. View of the Castle entitled •' East View of Edinburgh Castle. Paul Sandby Delin
et Sculp."
This view bears no date, but must have been made about 1750. It is taken from the eastern
part of the waste ground between the Castle and the town, now forming the Esplanade. In the
foreground are groups of figures in the costume of the period. One of these is engaged in the
pastime of '* putting the stone." On the right of the view is seen the head of the Nor* Loch, and
the fields soon to be covered by the New Town, intersected by the road known as the " Lang^
Dykes."
21. View of the city from the north-west entitled " West View of the City of Edinburgh.
Vue Occidentale de la Ville d'Edinbourg Capitale d'Ecosse. Paul Sandby Delin.
Published according to Act of Parliament 1753."
This view appears to be taken from the rising ground at the Dean. The Castle occupies the
centre of the view with the ridge of the Old Town stretching to the left. At the foot of the Castle
rock is seen the Church of St Cuthbert with a short tower, and to the right of the Castle appears
Heriot's Hospital, very inaccurfitely drawn. Between the city and the spectator are seen loug
straight avenues of trees which probably never existed. The very numerous inaccuracies render
this view almost valueless as a representation of the city. It has been more than once republished
on a smaller scale.
22. View of the city from the south or east, with the Firth of Forth and the coast of
Fife as background.
Below the plate at the left hand lower corner are the words, " Paris chez Basset rue
St Jacques k S? Genevieve." Below the view is the following inscription, " Edimbourg.
Belle est grande Ville Capitalle d'Ecosse elle est dans la Province de TOthiane,
Edimbourg est batie sur la pointe d'un rocher si escarpe qu'il semble tenir au terns
a I'Air qu'a la terre, on I'appelle Golfe d'edimbourg la partie de la Mer d'Ecosse qui
49
est entre la Fife et la Lothiane pres de cette ville le Golfe est nommde par ceux du
pays The firth of forth." Added to this inscription are fourteen numbered references
to buildings and localities in the view.
It has not been found possible to determine either the date of the view or the circumstances of
its publication. The writer has met with only one copy of it. It measures 9| by 6^ inches ; is
printed on a thin blue grey paper, and bears no evidence as to whether or not it has ever formed
port of a volume. The paper and other indications suggest the end of the i8th century as the
probable time of printing, but the plate itself is almost certainly of an earlier date. The most
prominent object in the view is the Castle. This is depicted with some approach to verisimilitude,
but the rest of the city is shown as a mere group of houses and towers huddled together on the
Castle slope, and bearing practically no resemblance to actual fact. The other details in the view
are equally inaccurate, for though the relative positions of the Castle and city would imply that
the spectator is looking due west up the ridge, yet Leith appears beyond and to the Uft of the
Castle, while the Firth and the coast of Fife extend right actoss the view on both sides of the Castle.
From the fact that the " Logis du Roy" on the Castle is shown on the spectator's right instead of
on the left, it might almost be conjectured that the engraver had neglected to reverse the
draughtsman's sketch, but even thb supposition does not account for the numerous inaccuracies of
the view.

THE PRINTED CATALOGUES OF THE
ADVOCATES' LIBRARY.^
By W. K. DICKSON.
MOST people who are concerned with Scots bibliography have occasion
at some time to make use of the Advocates' Library. A few notes
as to the various printed catalogues of the Library which have been issued
since its foundation may be of use to members of the Society.
The resolution of the Faculty of Advocates which determined the
foundation of the Library was passed on 6th July 1680. The project was
keenly taken up by the Faculty and met with the approval of the Court,
and the existence of the Library may be held to date from November 1682,
when the Faculty rented a house for it in the south-east corner of the
Parliament Close. The first Curators were appointed on 2nd January 1683,
and the first Bibliothecarius or Keeper on 22nd November 1684, when Mr
James Naismith, advocate, was appointed to that ofBce. The formal in-
auguration of the Library did not take place till 1st March 1689. A
Latin oration, still preserved in manuscript in the Library, was delivered
on the occasion by Sir George Mackenzie of Rosehaugh, the accomplished
Dean of Faculty to whose initiative the foundation of the Library was
chiefly due.
Within three years of the inauguration the first printed catalogue of the
Library was issued. It is a small quarto volume, containing xx -h 158 pages,
and was printed by George Mosman in 1692.^ It is a beautiful piece of
printing ; from an artistic point of view it is an example to all its successors.
It is a class catalogue. There are only four classes : Libri Juridici, Libri
Historici, Libri Miscellanei, and Libri Theologici. Each class is subdivided
according to size, the law-books being divided into folio, quarto, octavo, and
duodecimo et infra, and the other classes into folio, quarto, and octavo et
infra.
' Read January loih^ *907* ' For title-page set facsimi/i.
52
Of 158 pages of catalogue the law-books occupy 89. They arc mostly
the works of the civilians and the canonists. The literature of Scots law
was then in its infancy as regards quantity, if not quality ; but Stair is there,
and Craig, and Durie, and the Regiam Majestatem, and the Black Acts, and
Balfour's Practicks (in manuscript), and the works of Mackenzie himself
There is a fair representation of English legal writers, with a fine array of
historians and a modest group of theologians. Among the miscellaneous
books there are plenty of good editions of the Greek and Latin classics, and
of philosophers ancient and modern — Aristotle and Plato, Bacon, Descartes,
and Hobbes. Modern poets and writers of imagination are sadly to seek.
There is a " Faerie Queene" of 161 1, but (alas !) no First Folio Shakespeare,
not to speak of the quartos. Milton's '* Defensio pro populo Anglicano " is
there, but not his '* Paradise Lost" There are no Restoration dramatists, and
no " Pilgrim's Progress," but there is a set of Moliire, and one is glad to find
Sir Thomas Browne. Very few manuscripts, are noted, and those entirely
legal. It was not till 1699 that the purchase by the Faculty of the Denmiln
Manuscripts laid the foundation of the present collection. The entries are of
an admirable brevity; they number 3140. On 14th March 1691 the value of
the books was estimated at ;f 14400 19s. 4d. Scots — say ;^I200 sterling.
The turning-point in the history of the Library was in the year 1709,
when the Copyright Act of Queen Anne (8 Anne c. 19) conferred on the
Library the right of claiming a copy of every book entered at Stationers'
Hall, a privilege which has been continued by all the subsequent Copyright
Acts. Had the Library simply continued to develop along the lines origin-
ally laid down, it would doubtless have grown into a good general library of
law, history, and antiquities, with a predominant legal side. The operation
of the Acts has made it one of the great reference libraries of the country,
and has, of course, made the task of keeping up an adequate catalogue one of
great magnitude.
Fortunately, the right man to start the Library along its new lines of
development was not lacking. Thomas Ruddiman has been called the second
founder of the Library. He joined the staff in a humble capacity in 1700,
and in 1730 he was appointed Keeper. In 1735 he undertook the task of
preparing a printed Catalogue of the whole collection. The work was finished
in 1742, and the Catalogue was printed in that year by Thomas, Walter and
Thomas Ruddiman.
53
It is a folio volume of 649 pages, containing some 25,000 entries,
arranged in double columns. In compiling it, Ruddiman took as his model
the Catalogue of the library of Cardinal Giuseppe Imperiali, printed at Rome
in 171 1. It is an alphabetical author-catalogue, and includes many, though
apparently not all, of the manuscripts in the Library. Like all Ruddiman's
work it is careful and systematic, though what we should now regard as
undue liberties are taken with many titles. In its compilation Ruddiman had
the assistance of Walter Goodall, who for many years was a useful drudge
about the Library, a man whose attainments as a historical scholar might
have earned a better fate, but whose achievement in this world was con-
ditioned by the fact that, in the words of Lord Hailes, " Walter was seldom
sober."
Ruddiman's Catalogue, though printed in 1742, and no doubt in use in
the Library from that date, does not appear to have been issued to the public
till long afterwards. As generally met with, it contains two leaves of
prefatory matter sketching the history of the Library, dated 13th January
1772, by Alexander Brown, who became Keeper in 1776.
In 1776 another folio Catalogue was issued, containing the accessions
since 1742, compiled by Brown, and printed by Balfour and Smellie. This was
followed by a supplement in 1787, and by a third large folio in 1807.
More than half a century was to elapse before the printing of another
general catalogue. In 1812 two sets of the folio Catalogues, beginning with
Ruddiman's, were cut up, and the entries incorporated on one alphabet, being
pasted on sheets and bound in seventeen folio volumes. This was for many
years the principal reference Catalogue of the Library.
In 1831 Dr David Irving, Keeper of the Library from 1820 to 1848,
issued a Catalogue of the Law Books in the Library, an octavo of viii + 580
pages. It is an author-catalogue, with an analytical subject-index, and remains
a useful guide to the older literature of law.
In 1852 a catalogue of the manuscripts relating to genealogy and
heraldry in the Library was privately printed by Mr W. B. Turnbull,
advocate. It is the only separate catalogue of manuscripts in the Library
which has been printed. It was compiled exclusively for the use of Mr
Turnbull and his friend Sir Charles George Young, then Garter King-of-
Arms. It has the merit of great rarity : only ten copies were printed.
When Mr Samuel Halkett became Keeper, in 1848, a perfect jungle of
54
catalogues in manuscript had grown up. Besides the printed catalogues
above described, there was a complicated and cumbrous system of modem
class catalogues — Historical, Miscellaneous, Theological, Medical, and so
on — ^special catalogues such as that of the Spanish Collection, and numerous
minor catalc^^es of club publications and the like. Early in his Keepership
Mr Halkett mooted the question of a new general alphabetical catalc^^ue.
It was a great enterprise, and the best method of setting about it was for
several years the subject of much consideration and discussion. The result
was the printing of the existing quarto Catalc^e.
A slip catalc^e was prepared, which formed the basis of the printed
work. Printing was began in i860, but Mr Halkett found that the slips
required so much revision and correction that, at his death in 1871, the
printing had not proceeded further than the word ''Catalogue." It was
resolved to proceed with the work on the footing that it should include all
printed books acquired down to the end of 1871, and to carry it on on a
scale somewhat less ambitious than that planned by Mr Halkett, who not
only entered all titles very fully, but in most cases added bic^^phical notes
to the names of authors. In 1872 the revision of the slips was entrusted to
Mr J. A. Hjaltalin, under the editorship of Mr Halkett's successor, Mr T. H.
Jamieson. Mr Jamieson died in 1876 and the work was completed by Mr
Hjaltalin, with the advice and guidance of the late Keeper, Mr J. T. Clark.
The first volume, containing the letters A and B, had been published in
1867 ; the sixth, which completed the alphabet, was issued in 1878. In the
following year there appeared a supplementary volume, consisting chiefly of
accessions received between i860 and 1871, which fall within the alphabetical
limits " A " to " Catalogue."
Each volume, with the exception of the Supplement, extends to about
800 pages, and the entire work contains about 260,000 entries. The cost of
production, which was borne entirely by the Faculty and by its individual
members, was ^^5285. The method of cataloguing is substantially that of
the British Museum, with certain variations. Including as it does all
acquisitions down to 1871, the Catalogue is a record of all that is most
precious and characteristic in the Library : the incunabula, the early Scottish
books, the Spanish library, and the great collections of the canonists and
civilians, and of the older philosophers and historians. As regards both
accuracy and convenience of arrangement the Catalogue has now stood well
55
the test of a quarter of a century's daily use by the Library staff and by
readers. It is an honourable monument to its makers, above all to Mr
Halkett, who planned and started it, and to Mr Robert Horn, who became
Dean of Faculty in 1876, to whose zealous support the completion of the
enterprise was largely due.
The accessions to the Library since 1871 have been recorded in a manu-
script slip CBtSilogVLC. In 1906 the use of the typewriter was introduced. The
acquisitions of the last thirty-five years would fill a printed catalogue almost
as large as the old one.
\
A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ROBERT BURNS, 1759-1796.
By J. C. EWING/
WHEN did Robert Burns first appear in print? To those that have
studied his bibliography there is but one answer to that question,
namely, on 31st July 1786. Others, however, hold that some of his poetical
pieces had been printed before that date. Their case rests only on conjecture
from two references in the Poet's writings. " The first of my poetic offspring
that saw the light,'' he says in his autobiography, *' was a burlesque lamenta-
tion on a quarrel between two Reverend Calvinists,^ both of them dramatis
persofUB in my Holy Fair . . . Holy Willie's Prayer next made its appear-
ance." Again : —
'* I taught thy manners-painting strains
The loves, the ways of simple swains,
Till now, o'er all my wide domains
Thy fame extends."
Thus " Coila " in The Vision ; and it is contended that circulation of poems
in manuscript could not account for such "fame." But, as no print of
Tlu Twa Herds of a date earlier than 1796 has been discovered ; as,
indeed, nothing of Burns's composition earlier than his 1786 volume of
Poems is known to be in print, it must be assumed that he referred to the
circulation of certain of his poems in manuscript The fact that Burns, within
a few days of his arrival in Edinburgh, was contributing to the periodical
press proves nothing, for a search through contemporary newspapers has not
brought to light a print of anything of his earlier than the Address to a
Haggiu, printed in the Caledonian Mercury of 19th December 1786. Until
some print of earlier date is produced, bibliographers must accept it that
Bums appeared in print for the first time on the last day of July 1786.
Four months earlier, at least, he had decided to leave the country, but
he was not " master of nine guineas, the price of wafting him to the Torrid
' Read 14th Febniary 1907. « Tht Twa Herds, composed (probably) early in 1785.

Zone." Too proud to beg, he was also unwilling to indent himself. He
accordingly decided to publish some of his poems, though he appears not to
have reached that decision without hesitation. " This while/' he wrote, pro-
bably early in 1786,
" This while my notion's taen a sklent
To try my fate in guid, black prent." '
Having arranged with John Wilson, bookseller in Kilmarnock, to print
his volume, Burns prepared "Proposals for publishing." On 3rd April 1786,
he wrote to Robert Aiken : " My proposals for publishing I am just going
to send to the press." Some days later he received the copies, and circulated
them among his friends ; many of these interested themselves in the pro-
curing of subscriptions, of which, the Poet records in his autobiography,
there were about three hundred and fifty. Eight dozen copies of the
** Proposals " were printed ; only one is known now to exist It got into
possession of Mr J. B. Greenshields, of Kerse, in 1871, and is now the property
of his son, by whom it was shown at the Burns Centenary Exhibition held
at Glasgow in 1896, and who permitted the sheet to be reproduced in the
Memorial Cattdogtu of that Exhibition.

" We, under Subscribers, engage to take the above mentioned Work on the
Conditions Specified."
It says much for Burns's reputation at that early date that the reception
accorded his " Proposals " was such as to justify his proceeding to print in
' Epistle To James Smith.
59
less than two months later. Writing to John Kennedy on i6th May 1786,
he says, *' In about three or four weeks I shall probably set the press a-going."
" To-morrrow," he writes on 12th June, "to-morrow my works go to the
press " ; on 9th July, " my book will be ready in a fortnight " ; again, " I have
been throng printing my Poems " ; and, writing in the early days of August,
" I have at last made my public appearance, and am solemnly inaugurated into
the numerous class." Part of Burns's manuscript " copy " of his first volume,
with the printer's instructions, is still in existence : the property of Irvine
Burns Club. What was said to be a further portion of that ** copy " — nothing
less, indeed, than the " original manuscript preface " and the ** original manu-
script dedication " of his Poems — came to light (mysteriously) in 1892. Alas,
the news was too good to be true : but the story of the forgeries need not
be recalled here.
The first edition of Burns's Poems, chiefly in the Scottish dialect, printed
at Kilmarnock by John Wilson, was issued on 31st July 1786. It is a hand-
some octavo volume of 240 pages (in fours), and is without doubt the best-
printed book that came from Wilson's press. The text consists of 44 poems,
songs, epistles, epitaphs, and epigrams. According to the printer's account,
612 copies of the Poems were printed, and were "stitched in blue paper."
This last detail is worth noting, in view of the claim made that the " reprint
and fac-simile " issued from Kilmarnock was, to quote the publisher's pros-
pectus, " done up in the original style, Paper Boards, Edges uncut," not to
mention a label on the back, which the original may have had, though the
writer has never seen one. Attention may be drawn to the statement, on
reverse of title, that the book was ** Entered in Stationers - Hall." It
appears to have been customary with Wilson to add that notice to books
that he printed, for it appears on Campbell's Poems (1787), on the Lapraik
of 1788, and on the Sillar of 1789. From the fact that the registers of
Stationers' Hall do not contain an entry either of the 1786 Bums or of the
other three volumes mentioned, it may be concluded that Wilson's notice
was in the nature of a scare-crow, to warn off the pirate.
Another feature in connection with the book may be noted. The writer
has seen but one record of a copy of the Poems bearing presentation inscription
from Bums to another. That some copies were gifted by Burns to friends or
acquaintances is probable, and (of course) claims that certain copies, without
inscription, were presents from the Poet have been made. But the only
6o
recorded presentation copy from Burns is one that he gifted to the charming
filUiti who, when he was at Kirkoswald, ** overset his trigonometry and set
off in a tangent from the spheres of his studies."
The Kilmarnock Burns was reprinted in so-called '^ fac-simile " by James
M*Kie, of Kilmarnock, in 1867 ; and other issues of the same book are dated
1868, 1870, and 1886. But it is not a facsimile: it is printed on a paper
which is altogether unlike that of the original, and, as already stated, the
wrapper is dissimilar. Not to mention variations from the text, the frame
of the title-page and the ornaments throughout the book are not as in
the 1786 volume. A facsimile — reproduced by photography from one of
the copies of the original in the British Museum — ^was issued at Glasgow in
1895. ^5 ^^ publishers of that book found it necessary to present a magni-
fying glass with each of the 20,000 copies printed, that facsimile may be
dismissed with an expression of regret that the opportunity of doing a real
service to bibliographers and to students of Bums was lost when the pub-
lishers decided to make of their reproduction only a curiosity.
" I was pretty sure my poems would meet with some applause," Bums
wrote afterwards, yet even he probably did not expect so generous a welcome.
The volume, says Heron, writing in 1797, was "every where received with
eager admiration and delight " ; it was also favourably reviewed in several of
the literary journals. On 28th August, less than a month after publication,
only 13 of the 612 copies remained unsold.' If Wilson's account^ be correct,
Burns ought to have been richer by ^^54. According to himselfa he
'•pocketed (all expenses deducted) near twenty pounds" from the sale of
his first book.
Wilson's account for the first edition of the Poems bears to have been
"settled, 6th October 1786." Already Bums had been thinking of a
reprint of the volume. " I am going, perhaps, to try a second edition of my
book," he wrote to John Richmond on 27th September 17864; and, soon
after, to Robert Aiken : " I was with Wilson, my printer, t'other day, and
settled all our by-gone matters between us. After I had paid him all
demands, I made him the offer of the second edition, on the hazard of being
paid out of the first and readiest^ which he declines. By his account, the

paper of a thousand copies would cost about twenty-seven pounds, and the
printing about fifteen or sixteen : he offers to agree to this for the printing,
if I will advance for the paper, but this, you know, is out of my power ; so
farewell, hopes of a second edition, till I grow richer ! an epocha which, I
think, will arrive at the payment of the British National Debt." Disappointed
in Wilson, Burns turned his face towards Edinburgh. He arrived there on
28th November 1786, and nine days later informed Gavin Hamilton that " my
subscription bills come out to-morrow." Only one copy of the " Proposals " for
the second edition of the Poems is known to exist. It was at one time in the
collection of John Dillon (a note in his hand may be seen on the sheet), and
was afterwards in the library of Rev. William Edward Buckley. It is now
in possession of Lord Rosebery, who lent it to the Burns Centenary Exhibition,
and granted permission for its reproduction in the Memorial Catalogue,

"Edinburgh, Z^^^^M^r 14. 1786.
" Proposals for printing, by subscription. In One Volume Octavo, price
Five Shillings in boards, a second edition, with corrections and additions, of
Poems, chiefly in the Scottish dialect. By Robert Bums. Subscrip-
tions are taken in by William Creech, at the Cross, Edinburgh, to whom
private Subscription-papers may be sent, when filled up. We subscribers
oblige ourselves to take the number of Copies of Burns's Poems, annexed
to our Subscriptions."
The proposals were widely circulated and, as a result, the second edition
of the Poems contained a very remarkable list of subscribers' names, 1625 in
number, engaging for 2876 copies. On 13th December 1786, "I am nearly
^reed with Creech to print [publish] my book," Bums writes, *'and I
suppose I will begin on Monday." On 14th January 1787, "I have to-day
corrected my 1 52d page " ; and on 24th February, " I will soon be with you
now in guid black prent ; in a week or ten days at farthest I am obliged,
against my own wish, to print subscribers' names, so if any of my Ayr friends
have subscription-bills they must be sent in to Creech directly. I am getting
my phiz done by an eminent engraver, and, if it can be ready in time, I will
appear in my book looking, like other fools ^ to^ my title-page." Some delay
appears to have occurred, for a month later, on 22nd March, he writes to
' Is it worth noting that, in the 1787 print by Beugo, Bnrns is looking away from — not to —
his tiUe-page?
62
Mrs Dunlop: "I have to-day corrected the last proof sheet of my poems,
and have now only the glossary and subscribers' names to print Printing
this last is much against my will, but some of my friends whom I do not
chuse to thwart will have it so." On Sunday, 15th April, he again writes
to Mrs Dunlop : " I come abroad, in print, for certain, on Wednesday."
The book was advertised in the Edinburgh Evening Courant of Saturday,
14th April 1787 : " On Tuesday next, the 17th, will be published, by William
Creech, PoEMS, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, by Robert Bums.
As the book is published for the sole benefit of the Author, it is requested
that subscribers will send for their copies, and none will be delivered without
money." It was advertised also in the Glasgow Mercury of 4- 11 July 1787 :
"Second Edition, with a Head of the Author, BURNS'S POEMS, Price in
boards to subscribers five shillings, and to non-subscribers six shillings. Sold
by John Smith, junior, Bookseller. Such Gentlemen who subscribed for the
above publication, and are not yet supplied with their copies, may have them
by applying as above."
The second edition > of Burns's Poems is a beautiful book. It was printed
by William Smellie, though his name does not appear on it ; but it is not so
accurate as Wilson's volume. It is an octavo, and was issued in blue paper
boards, with white back and label (in this case there is no doubt of the label),
and the edges, of course, uncut. The text consists of the contents of the
Kilmarnock edition — except i epitaph and 2 epigrams, that were omitted
— with additions to some of the pieces, and 22 new poems and songs.
The copyright of the contents of the 1787 edition was purchased from
Burns by Creech. "The memorandum of agreement betwixt Mr Creech
and Mr Burns respecting the property of Mr Burns's Poems*' is dated
17th April 1787 ; and the transaction, by which Burns was to receive a
hundred guineas for the property of his Poems^ was "considered as finished''
on 23rd of the same month. Creech afterwards shared the copyright with
Thomas Cadell ; and the second edition of the Poems was r^stered at
Stationers* Hall as their joint property, on 8th May following.
To judge from Burns's offer, to Wilson, of a second edition of 1000 copies,
it is probable that his first arrangement with Creech was for that number.
In any case, the printing of the second edition had not been long in progress
' Though the *' Proposals" were for ** a second edition " of the Poems^ the volame itself does not
bear that it is such.
63
before it was discovered (doubtless from the number of subscription-bills
returned) that too few copies were being printed. Writing to Mrs Dunlop on
22nd March 1787, the Poet said he had *' both a second and third Edition going
on, as the second was begun with too small a number of copies." Bums
probably here uses the word editiofi as meaning impression^ for it is undoubted
that there were two impressions of the Edinburgh edition of 1787 : proof is
found in the existence of many differences in some sheets of the text — notably,
the word " skinking " (p. 263, To a Haggis) in some copies appears as " stink-
ing" in others. Of the copies printed, 2876 were subscribed (according to
the list in the book) in advance ; in addition, a note at end of the list of sub-
scribers' names says that '' some subscriptions are not yet come to hand, and
perhaps some have been mislaid." Burns also tells Ballantine (i8th April
1787) that '' several of the Subscription bills have been mislaid." If, as Burns
told Mrs Dunlop on 22nd March 1787, 3000 copies were printed, few, if any,
would remain for non-subscribers ; and so, later in the same year, there was
published a third edition (again an octavo) of the Poems. It was printed from
a copy of the second edition, and was called " the third edition " on the title-
page. The pages are numbered i-xlviii, and 13-372 ; the text is that of the
second edition ; and the Nasmyth-Beugo portrait of the author again serves
as frontispiece. The copy of the second edition (carrying instructions to the
printer) from which it was set was shown at the Burns Exhibition in 1896.
It happened to be one of the '' stinking " impressions, and so, the printer
having followed his ''copy,'* the London edition of 1787 has that misprint in
the address To a Haggis (p. 267). The third edition, like the second, does not
bear the name of its printer ; nor is any record known of the number of copies
printed. That it was more than sufficient for the immediate demand may be
gathered from an advertisement of *' Books lately published, printed for
William Creech, Edinburgh," that appeared in the Edinburgh Evening
Courant of 22nd July 1790. One of the books was "Poems, by Robert
Burns, i vol., 8vo, the 3rd edition, with a Head of the Author, price 6s. in
boards." It is probably to that same advertisement that Bums refers in
a letter (undated, but written early in 1791) to Peter Hill, for no edition of
the Poems bearing the names of Creech and Cadell as publishers was issued
between 1787 and 1793. '* By the way," Burns says, " I have taken a damned
vengeance on Creech. He wrote me a fine, fair letter telling me he was going
to print a third edition, and as he had a brother's care of my fame, he wished
64
to add every new thing I have written since, and I should be amply rewarded
with — a copy or two to present to my friends ! He has sent me a copy of the
last edition to correct, etc., but I have as yet taken no notice of it, and
I hear he has published without me. You know, and all my friends know,
that I do not value money ; but I owed the gentleman a debt, which I am
happy to have it in my power to repay."
The second or the third edition of the Poems was reprinted (in duo-
decimo) at Belfast in 1787 : '* Printed and sold by James Magee, No. 9 Bridge-
street" The sheets of that volume were used for a Dublin edition issued the
same year : " Printed for William Gilbert, Great-George's-street" The book
was again reprinted (in duodecimo) at Belfast in 1789 and in 1790; in both
cases the sheets were used for Dublin editions dated same years.
In 1788 appeared the first American edition, a duodecimo — ^^'Philadelphia:
printed for, and sold by Peter Stewart and George Hyde, the west side of
Second-street, the ninth door above Chesnut*street " ; and later in the same
year there was published at " New- York : printed by J. and A. McLean,
Franklin's head, no. 41, Hanover-square : Poems^ chiefly in the Scottish dialect.
By Robert Bums. To which are added^ Scots poems ^ selected from the works of
Robert Ferguson \sic\y Both these editions were reprints of one or other of
the editions dated 1787. It may be noted that all editions issued in
Ireland and in the United States in the years 1787- 1793 have the word
" skinking " mis-spelled " stinking.''
No other edition of Burns's Poems was issued until 1793. ^^ September
1 79 1, Cadell recommended (to Creech) an edition of one thousand copies, to
be printed in two volumes, crown octavo, on a fine wove paper, and to be
ready in two or three months. In April 1792, Creech again communicated
with Burns at Dumfries. This time the Poet replied : '* I this moment have
yours, and were it not that habit, as usual, has deadened conscience, my
criminal indolence should lead me an uneasy life of reproach. I ought long
ago to have written you on this very business. . . , I suppose, at a gross
guess, that I could add of new materials, to your two volumes, about fifty pages.
I would also correct and retrench a good deal. These said fifty pages, you
know, are as much mine as the thumb-stall I have just now drawn on my finger,
which I unfortunately gashed in mending my pen. A few books which I very
much want are all the recompence I crave, together with as many copies of this
new edition of my own works as Friendship or Gratitude shall prompt me to
65
present." He got to work immediately, having some assistance from Alex-
ander Fraser Tytler. On 13th June 1792 Creech sent Cadell "a sheet of Burns's
Poems, now going on, that you may have the plate in readiness." On loth Sep-
tember, Bums tells Alexander Cunningham that he is '* correcting the Press-
work of two different publications " — one of them his Poems ; and on 6th
December following he writes to Tytler : " I again trouble you with another,
and my last, parcel of manuscripts. I am not interested in any of these ; blot
them at your pleasure. I am much indebted to you for taking the trouble
of correcting the press work."
The new edition was advertised in the Edinburgh Evening Courant of
Saturday, i6th February 1793: '*On Monday next will be Published, by
William Creech (Elegantly printed in two volumes, royal paper, price 6s.
in boards). Poems, chiefly in the Scottish Dialect. The Second
Edition greatly enlarged with New Poems. By Robert Bums." The books
were beautifully printed, in duodecimo ; and were issued in blue paper
boards, with white backs. The name of the printer is not stated, but prob-
ably it was Smellie. The text was that of the 1787 editions, with 20
additional poems and songs. The Nasmyth-Beugo portrait was re-engraved
for this edition, and shows slight variations from the first plate.
Like the Kilmarnock edition, that of 1793 was not ** Entered in Sta-
tioners' Hall," although the contrary is stated on reverse of each title-page.
The omission to do so was the cause of considerable trouble when, at the
expiry of the fourteen years term, the copyright of the 1787 Poems lapsed.
It is too long a story to tell here in detail. Suffice it to say that, in 1802,
Cadell and Creech were granted interim interdict against the publishers of
certain editions of Burns's Poems issued in 1801 and 1802, and raised an
action for damages against one of them (James Robertson, of Edinburgh) for
an infringement upon their property, by having published the additional
poems of the 1793 edition. In 1804, judgment of Court of Session was given
against them : the Lords " recalled the interdict and, in the action of damages,
assoilzied the defender," on the ground of non-entry, at Stationers' Hall, of the
additional poems of the edition of 1793. The case was appealed to the House
of Lords, but not till 181 1 was a decision given ; this time it was in Cadells
favour. The Poems of 1793 was reprinted at Belfast in the same year.
In 1794 the two- volume edition of the preceding year was reprinted, in
duodecimo, and published by Cadell and Creech as ''A new edition, consider-
I
66
ably enlarged." The volumes were issued in blue paper boards, with white
backs ; had the Nasmyth-Beugo portrait as frontispiece ; and contained
the same number of pages as the edition of 1793. The text was altered
in numerous places, but no new matter was added. The edition of 1794 was
the last issued in Burns's lifetime.
The bibliography of Burns is doubly interesting from the fact that it
includes, apart from the various editions of his collected Poetns^ some half-
dozen individual pieces — all satirical — that Burns caused to be printed and
circulated. None of them bears the name of its author. None of them is
dated ; but two of them were printed in 1789, three in 1795, and one in 1796.
Some doubt exists as to Burns's connection with the printing of one of
the pieces, The Prayer of holy Willie^ a canting^ hypocritical^ Kirk elder.
With quotations from the Presbyterian eloqtunce. Printed in the year
MDCCLXXXIX. Only one copy of the print (a tract of eight pages, on
coarse paper) is known to exist. It is probable — or at least possible — that
it was printed to Bums's order and circulated by him, but proof is wanting.
There is no doubt, however, as to the party responsible for the printing of
the other numbers : their author has left records by which that may be
determined.
Ever interested in current affairs, parochial as well as national, Burns was
intensely so in the persecution, for supposed heterodoxy, of Dr William
M'Gill of Ayr. In the persecution and the parties to the persecution, he
found subject for one of his greatest satires. Writing from EUisland on
17th July 1789, to Mrs Dunlop, he says : '* I have just sketched the following
ballad, and as usual I send the first rough-draft to you. I do not wish to be
known in it; tho' I know, if ever it appear, I shall be suspected. If I finish
it, I am thinking to throw off two or three dozen copies at a Press in
Dumfries, and send them as from Edinburgh to some Ayrshire folks on both
sides of the question." The facsimile is reproduced from one of the copies
that Burns thus expresses his intention to have printed. The Ayrshire gar-
land. An Excellent New Song, Tune^ The Vicar and Moses ^ is a single sheet,
measuring nearly 10 inches by 8, printed (on one side) in double column, the
columns separated by a double rule. It contains 1 3 stanzas, each numbered,
of the satire now known as The Kirk's Alarm, Only two copies of the broad-
side are known : one in the library of The British Museum ; the other in the
Burns Collection at The Mitchell Library, Glasgow.

Nearly six years later, in February of "the seventeen hunder year o'
grace, and ninety-five," a general election took place. Burns took an active
part in the contest, writing two ballads in support of the " buff and blue "
candidate for the representation of the Stewartry — his friend, Patrick Heron
of Kerroughtree. Writing to Heron, the Poet enclosed " some copies of a
couple of political ballads, one of which, I believe, you have never seen. . . .
In order to bring my humble efforts to bear with more effect on the foe, I
have privately printed a good many copies of both ballads, and have sent
them among friends all about the country/' The ballads referred to are now
known as the Heron election ballads. The first (see facsimile) has title
For a' thaty and a' that, and is printed on one side of a single sheet measuring
12J inches by 5. The second (see facsimile) is entitled The election: A
Neiv Song, Tune — Fy, let us a* to the Bridal. It is printed on one side of
a single sheet, measuring nearly 9 inches by 8, folded in centre, thus forming
two printed pages.
It appears, from a letter to James Johnson, that Burns had copies
of his song Does haughty Gaul invasion threat? printed for his own use:
" Thank you for the copies of my Volunteer Ballad," he writes in March 1795,
** our friend has done indeed well ! 'Tis chaste and beautiful ; I have not met
with anything has pleased me so much." No copy of the print is known to
exist, or any record of it beyond this mention by Burns himself.
The last of the privately printed items is the ballad that Burns wrote
on behalf of " Kerroughtree*s laird," on the contest in June 1796 for the
representation of the Stewartry. Buy brow troggin. An Excellent New
Song. Tune — Buy broom Besoms (see facsimile) is the ballad now known
as The trogger. It is printed on one side of a single sheet, measuring nearly
8 inches by 9, folded in centre, thus forming two printed pages. Another
issue of the satire is printed, in a larger type, on one side of a single unfolded
sheet.

THE THUMB BIBLES OF JOHN TAYLOR.^
By colonel WILLIAM JOHNSTON, C.B., LL.D., M.D.
JOHN TAYLOR. "The Water Poet," as he styled himself, was born at
Gloucester in 1580. He was apprenticed to a London waterman, but
having been pressed into the Navy he served for some years in the Fleet.
On leaving the service he became a Thames waterman, and finding that this
trade was impoverished by the increasing use of hackney coaches and the re-
moval of the theatres from the south side of the river, he endeavoured to increase
his earnings by turning to account his facility of rhyming. He was an ardent
royalist and wrote lampoons against the parliamentarians and he was ready on the
shortest notice and on very moderate terms to compose a birthday ode, a wedding
ode or a funeral elegy. He undertook various journeys, of which he wrote de-
scriptions in prose and rhyme. One journey which is of special interest to us in
Scotland was made in 16 18, when he undertook to travel from London to Edin-
burgh, without taking a penny in his pocket, nor " begging, borrowing, or asking
meat, drink or lodging ". Taylor went as far as Braemar, where he was the guest
of the Earl of Mar, and he published an account of this journey under the title
of "The Pennyless Pilgrimage". A full account of this undertaking is given by
Professor P. Hume Brown in his Early Travellers in Scotland, In his lattei
years Taylor kept an inn, first at Oxford and afterwards in London near Long
Acre, where he died in 1653 {DicL Nat Biog, Iv.)
In 1630, Taylor published a folio edition of his collected works, " being
63 in number," and this was reprinted by the Spenser Society in three parts,
folio 1868-69. The same Society in 1870-78 reprinted, in ^sq parts, others of
his tracts which were not comprised in the original folio. The folio edition of
^ Read 13 January, 1910.
74
Taylor's works contains his versified summaries of the Old Testament {Verbum
Sempiternum) and New Testament [Salvatar Mundi), which, printed as very
diminutive books, form the subject of this paper.
Although the term Thumb Bible does not appear to have been adopted
until 1849, when Longman's first edition of the Verbum Sempiternum and
Salvatar Mundi was issued, yet it is a convenient name to use as embracing
these two volumes, which, from a bibliographical point of view, at least in
their earlier editions, must be considered separate books.
These are amongst the smallest volumes ever published, and the seven-
teenth and eighteenth century editions are exceedingly rare. Mr. George F.
Barwick, assistant keeper of Printed Books and superintendent of the Reading
Room, British Museum, writing on the subject of " Thumb Books " in the
Saturday Review^ vol. 77, p. 361, 7th April, 1894, says that until the previous
October all traces of " the first edition " of Taylor's Thumb Bible were lost,
the earliest known edition being the one printed at Aberdeen in 1670. In
November, 1893, the edition of 16 16, which Mr. Barwick supposed to be the
first edition, was purchased by the British Museum, and held its place as the
earliest edition, until Colonel Allardyce in 1908 brought to light the edition of
1 6 14, of which Mr. P. J. Anderson sent a description to Notes and Queries,
9th May, 1908.
In the following notes I have mentioned every copy of the eight issues
published before 1750 whose existence I have been able to trace. These
amount to only fourteen copies, of which three are imperfect. The edition of
1 614, which in the present state of our knowledge must now be considered the
first edition, seems to be absolutely unique, and is the tiniest of all the editions.
Colonel Allardyce remembers seeing the book when he was a chikl, but has
no idea how it came into his father's possession. Seeing that one of the earliest
editions of this curious little book was printed in Scotland, and that the only
known copy of the first edition belongs to a Scotsman, by whose generosity a
very beautiful reprint has been executed by Scotch printers, it seems appropriate
that a description of John Taylor's Thumb Bible should find a place in the
publications of the Edinburgh Bibliographical Society.

Mr. Alexander Gardyne, in Notes and QuirUs, and Series, XII. 122, 17 Aug. x86x, says
that, as the Duke of Gloucester died in 1700, this edition must have been issued from the press
between 1693, date of imprimatur, and 1700. But as the same dedication was reproduced in
the edition undoubtedly printed in 1720 (No. VII.), this argument as to its necessarily having
been published before the end of the eighteenth century is not convincing.

NOTE ON A PSEUDO CHEPMAN AND MYLLAR
FRAGMENT/
By harry G. ALDIS.
A CATALOGUE (no. 648) issued by Mr James Tregaskis in May
1908 contained several early printed pieces from the library of the
late Dr Gott, bishop of Truro, including the following —
' 185. Syr Eglamoure of Artoys. An almost perfect leaf contain-
ing 29 lines of verse on each side, printed in Black Letter.
[Edinburgh, Walter Chepman and Androw Millar, 1508.]'
This covetable fragment, which is now in the Cambridge University
Library, proved on examination to be not a relic of the first Scottish
press, but merely a leaf of a hitherto unknown edition by Wynkyn de
Worde — interesting enough, of course, as such, but a disappointment never-
theless.
In view of the rarity of specimens of Chepman and Myllar's work
and of the especial interest with which they are invested, it seems
desirable to place on record the fact that this catalogue entry, which is
sure to turn up from time to time, does not represent a genuine
fragment
' Read December loth, 1908.
ON SOME RE-DISCOVERED FRAGMENTS OF AN
EDITION OF BLIND HARRY'S WALLACE, PRINTED
IN THE TYPES OF CHEPMAN AND MYLLAR.^
By harry G. ALDIS.
OF Blind Harry's Wallace, one of the most important and perhaps the
most popular of the older Scottish vernacular writings, the only
manuscript extant is that in the Advocates' Library, which purports to have
been written by John Ramsay in 1488. Of printed editions, that printed by
Lekpreuik for Henry Charteris in 1570 is the earliest of which any copy has
survived.
It is thus apparent that the edition known to have been printed in the
types of Chepman and Myllar must, in addition to its great typographic
importance, possess considerable literary interest. It will be remembered
that the existence of this edition was discovered by David Laing, who, in
his introduction to the reprint of Golagros and Gawane, states that twenty
mutilated leaves were found in the binding of an old quarto volume. Since
Dr Laing's death these fragments have been lost sight of, and enquiries made
from time to time have failed to bring them to light.
A few weeks ago Mr A. G. W. Murray, when on a visit to Cambridge,
brought with him some recently acquired fragments of early printing, which,
being apparently Scottish, he very kindly thought I should like to see.
My delight may be imagined when I found that they were some of the
long-lost leaves of the Wallace.
The fragments came from the Hendriks sale at Sotheby's on November
12, 1909, and formed part of lot 583, described as a collection of leaves from
early printed books and manuscripts. They consist of portions of four
leaves, obviously taken out of the binding of a quarto volume. They were
associated with other things which had passed through Dr Laing's hands,
and their identity with the leaves formerly in his possession is proved by the
' Read Jannmry 13th, 1910.
88
text of the verso of q iii (see no. ii below) in the Golagros and Gawane
reprint, which supplies in brackets the missing lines of this page.
The four fragments consist of :
(i) A leaf wanting the last three lines of text and also the beginning of all
lines on the verso. It contains part of the fourth chapter of Book
viii ; I from
Towart the south yai turnit at ye last
to
[How we with fyre] within sail mak yame hait
(ii) A leaf, in three pieces, signed ' q iii ', containing the end of the first
chapter and the beginning of the second chapter of Book xi ; ^ from
[Keirlie in Iris]ch is boC ker litill cald
to
He saw his folk about him failze fast
This leaf wants the upper left-hand corner and a narrow vertical strip
out of the left-hand half,
(iii) A nearly complete leaf, which by the kindness of Mr Murray I have the
pleasure of exhibiting this evening.3 This leaf appears to be
signature q 5, and wants only three lines in the middle. It contains
the end of the second chapter and the beginning of the third chapter
of Book xi ; 4 from
Schemon yai tuke yat Wallace first had wonnyn.
to
Of inglismen in lorne yat men micht se.
(iv) Part of the next leaf to the preceding (/./. q 6). It contains only the
lower 35 lines of the page, and wants the beginning of all the lines
on the verso. The text consists of the latter part of Book xi to
within 32 lines of the end of that Book ; 5 from
For goddis saik redeme ws anys to grace
to
[For thy supple, I he]cht yow sal it haif
These remnants shew that, as stated by Dr Laing, this edition was in
folio. The text type is that used by Chepman and Myllar for the tracts
' Scottish Text Soc edn., p. an. ■ P. 321. s S^facHmiU.
♦ P. 326. 5 p. 329,

in the Golagros and Gawane volume. Their two-line Lombardic capitals
occur at the beginning of the chapters; and the head-lines are in what
appears to be the large black letter of the title-page of the Aberdeen
Breviary. A full page contains 44 lines of text. The head-lines run
' vndecima | Pars Ca.ii.' and so on ; and there is no pagination.
The signature 'qiii' on one of the leaves enables us to surmise that
the quires consisted of eight leaves each, and that the signatures ran from
a to s, which would make a volume of about 288 pages.
This is practically all that can be definitely said about the book ; but
with the leaf before us, we may picture the whole as a handsome well-
printed volume, dignified in its simplicity, and undoubtedly the most
notable book that issued from the first Scottish press. For to the first
Scottish press it may most reasonably be attributed — the type of the text
is that used by Chepman and Myllar and, as far as we know, by no other
printer in Scotland, and the type of the head-line was used by Chepman
alone ; so, in the absence of any more definite data, we must for the
present place it between the tracts of the Advocates' Library volume,
which were printed in 1508, and the Aberdeen Breviary of 1509-10, which
bears Chepman's name alone. It seems quite natural too, that our first
printers, having brought out some short popular pieces as a preliminary essay,
should then undertake the production of an edition of this popular
national epic, which should be worthy of the subject and serve as a
notable monument of their newly imported art.
The text of this edition, so far as a cursory examination of the
fragments shews, is more closely allied to the 1570 edition than to the
Advocates' Library manuscript, from which it is separated by only some
twenty years in date. The manuscript is divided into eleven books, but
in this edition the division into twelve books (as in other printed editions)
is already adopted. It also contains the fourteen lines at the end of the
first chapter of Book xi, which are not in the manuscript,' but which are
found in the edition of 1570. The spelling differs from both.
It should be noted that Dr Laing speaks of twenty leaves. Mr
Murray's find accounts for only four of them. Where are the other
sixteen ?

NOTE TO A PAPER ENTITLED
THE FIRST BOOK PRINTED BY JAMES BALLANTYNE.^
By GEORGE P. JOHNSTON.
SOME time ago the late Bishop Dowden asked me if I could tell him
anything about a book entitled TaUs of Terror^ printed by James
Ballantyne at Kelso in 1799. I referred the Bishop to my Paper, remarking
that the title and imprint as he gave them were wrong, but he assured me
they were correct. This suggested a difficulty, and at my request he procured
the volume for examination. I found it to be one of the twelve copies
of An Apology for Tales of Terror, with, to my surprise, quite a different
title-page. This, by the kind permission of Professor Edward Dowden, to
whom the book belongs, was photographed, and I have now the pleasure of
presenting a facsimile of it to the Society.
The title is of some interest as indicating, by its size, that Ballantyne
originally intended the volume to be in octavo. That it was the earlier
one is obvious from the change to " An Apology for Tales of Terror," the
form adopted by Sir Walter Scott, in allusion to the long delay of Lewis's
collection. It is not so obvious why Ballantyne omits his name in the later
imprint, and, strangely enough, his name appears nowhere in a volume
purposely intended to show his skill as a printer.
The copy under notice is in all respects, excepting the title, the same as
the others : printed on the same paper, with the same water marks. The
foreman printer's copy (now in my possession), which is referred to in the
Paper,* is also on the same paper, with the same water marks.3 Curiously,
though wanting the last 1 1 leaves, this latter has the appearance of being
complete, because the ballad " William and Helen " ends on page 57, and
page 58 is left blank.

LISTS OF FIFTEENTH CENTURY BOOKS
IN EDINBURGH LIBRARIES.
CONTRIBUTED BY SEVERAL MEMBERS.
THE late Mr J. P. Edmond in his Presidential Address,' delivered on
14th December 1905, advocated the desirability of registering all
fifteenth century books in the great libraries of Scotland, and appealed
to the Society to undertake the work. He had himself set the example
by making a list of these books in the Signet Library, and this List the
Society of Writers to the Signet printed in the year 1906. Interest in the
subject was stimulated by Mr Dickson's account of the early printed
treasures under his care in the Advocates' Library.
The project having been considered by the Committee of the Society,
it was resolved that, to begin with, an attempt should be made to obtain
lists of fifteenth century books in the Edinburgh libraries.
Mr Dickson, Mr Nicholson, and Mr Graham heartily entered into the
scheme and undertook the lists for their respective libraries, namely, the
Advocates' Library, the University Library, and the Library of the Royal
College of Physicians. Mr Cowan prepared the list for the United Free
Church College Library, with the assistance of the librarians, Dr Kennedy
and Mr D. Laird ; and Mr Eeles has noted the incunabula in the Libraries
of the Theological College of the Episcopal Church and of St Mary's
Cathedral. The list of the books in the Crawford Library of the Royal
Observatory is compiled by the Secretary from the Catalogue which was
begun by Lord Crawford, finished by Professor Copeland, and revised by
Mr Edmond. The Deputy Keeper and Commissioners of the Society of
Writers to the Signet kindly gave permission to reprint their List. Mr
Jenkinson and Mr Aldis rendered very great service in identifying printers
and places of printing, and in otherwise solving difficulties.
The Society is much indebted to these officers and members who, by their
co-operation in this work, have made it possible to pay to the memory of Mr
' See present volume, p. I.
92
Edmond the appropriate tribute of including in the same volume that con-
tains his appeal a substantial contribution towards the accomplishment of a
work which he initiated and had so much at heart.
The methods suggested and exemplified by Mr Edmond have been
followed in general, but each contributor is responsible for his list only.
