From the Dundee Advertiser

There has been handed to the Edinburgh
Advocates Library most interesting and
valuable MS. book recently found in the
safe of the new college library. 1t is en-
titled "A Perfect Inventory of all the Pious
Donations Given to the Kinks and Hospi-
tails In Scotland since the Days of James
to the Reign Of King James vi. with Ad-
ditions, Edinburgh. written IL Novr. by r.
M" As the book here bore conclusive
marks of belonging to the Advocates Ii
brary, inquiry was made to ascertain IL any
light could be thrown on when and how the
MS. book had entered the New College
Library. The former librarian of the New
College reported that he was not able to
give any Information, and had not, in fact,
been aware that the book was In the libra
~. Probably. therefore: the mystery OF the
passage from the one library to the other
will never be cleared up. but II 1t could be
another chapter would no doubt have to be
added to the romance of missing MSS. The
Ms is OF the highest interest for students
