Romance of MSS.

There has been handed to the Ed
inburgh Advocates library most
interesting and valuable MS. book re-
Gently found in the safe of the New
College library. 1t is entitled "A
Perfect Inventor of all the Pious Do
nations Given to the Kinks and Hos
pitfalls in Scotland since the Days OF
James 7. to the Reign of King James
W., with Additions, Edin burgh, writ
ten II Novr. by r. NJ" AS the book
bore conclusive parks of having be-
logged to the Allocate library, in
quiry was made to asce tain il any
light could be thrown on when and
how the MS. book had entered the
New College library. The former IL
brarian of the New College reported
that he was not able to give any in
formation, and had not in fact been
aware that the book was in the IL
brary. Probably, therefore, the mys-
terry of its passage from the one Ii
brary to the other will never be
cleared up, but if it could be another
chapter would no doHht have to be
added to the romance of missing
MSS. The MS. is Of the highest in
terest for Scottish istory.-Dundee
