Inscription at the head of the first flyleaf "A present from Mr Andrew Houston 1763". A letter dated 1915 of William Brown, bookseller and publisher in Edinburgh, to J. Norman Methven is loosely enclosed "Dear Sir, Cheque & letter received with thanks. The Walker edition, I think, should have an angraved front & title. I shall find a perfect copy for you. Burke's Fingal vI[?] is all that was published. The Fingal, 2nd edition, was evidently bound up with Temora, but you have the latter & I did not know till now that a 2nd edition of Fingal was published in 4to. Blair's dissertation was published separately, a distinct work. I find that the Leipzig[?] edition is not in the Advocates Library here, although the Dundas[?] is. I have not yet had time to examine it."
Ossian, active 3rd century
