cccvi. f. 9; Coxe, Catalogue, p. 121 b) in ten books; in another manuscript (Magdalen College, cod. xxxii.; Coxe, Catalogue, p. 20) it is comprised in nine books; while a third (Merton College, cod. cclxxix.; Coxe, Catalogue, p. 110 b), entitled ‘ Summa de Logicis et Naturalibus,’ is described as consisting of eight. Not less confusing is the title of the work. In a second manuscript at Magdalen College (cod. cxcv.; Coxe, Catalogue, p. 89) it is even styled ‘Summa de Theologia major,’ a work which Bale not unnaturally distinguished from what he called the ‘De Philosophia Naturali’ (i.e. the ‘Summa Logicæ’). To the former he assigned the ‘incipit’ of the prologue, and to the latter that of the first book of what is actually one and the same work. 2. A small treatise called by Bale ‘De Logica Intellectuali,’ but entitled in the Merton College MS. cccvi. f. 3, ‘Liber de Insolubilibus, de significatione et suppositione Terminorum, de Arte Obligatoria,’ &c. 3. Besides these books Bale enumerates a ‘Summa Theologiæminor,’ ‘Summa Artium,’ ‘In Philosophiam Moralem libri x.’ (apparently the same with the ‘Summa Logicæ’), and a commentary on the Canticles. As Bale does not mention the opening words of these writings, it is not possible to identify them; but there can be hardly a doubt that the commentary on Canticles is included in the list from a misreading of Leland, who ascribes the work to ‘Dumbelegus quidam,’ or Dumbley. 4. Wood refers to some verses by Dumbleton at Merton, beginning, ‘O rex Anglorum,’ which are to be found in the College MS. cccvi. f. 8, between the short logical treatise and the ‘Summa’ above mentioned; but beyond this juxtaposition there is no evidence to connect them with the name of Dumbleton.

DUMBRECK, Sir DAVID (1805–1876), army medical officer, the only son of Thomas Dumbreck, collector of inland revenue at Glasgow, by Elizabeth, youngest daughter of David Sutherland of the same service, was born in Aberdeenshire in 1805 and educated at the university of Edinburgh, where he graduated M.D. in 1830, having previously, in 1825, passed as a licentiate of the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. He entered the army as a hospital assistant on 3 Nov. 1825, became assistant surgeon in 1826, surgeon in 1841, surgeon-major in 1847, and deputy inspector-general on 28 March 1854. Prior to the breaking out of hostilities with Russia he was despatched on a special mission early in 1854 to the expected seat of war, and traversed on his mission Servia, Bulgaria, and part of Roumelia, crossing the Balkans on his route. He was subsequently for a short time principal medical officer with the army, and served with it in the field as senior deputy inspector-general, and was present in this capacity and attached to headquarters at the time of the affair of Bulganac, the Alma, capture of Balaklava, battles of Balaklava and Inkerman, and siege of Sebastopol. His rewards were a medal with four clasps, the fourth class of the Medjidie, and the Turkish medal. He was gazetted C.B. on 4 Feb. 1856, became K.C.B. on 20 May 1871, and was named honorary physician to the Queen on 21 Nov. 1865. On 19 July 1859 he was promoted to be an inspector-general of the medical department, and on 1 May in the following year was placed on half-pay and received a special pension for distinguished services. He died at 34 Via Montebello, Florence, on 24 Jan. 1876, and his will was proved on 21 March under 12,000l. He married, on 27 Feb. 1844, Elizabeth Campbell, only daughter of George Gibson of Leith.

DUN, FINLAY (1795–1853), musician, was born at Aberdeen, 24 Feb. 1795. He was educated at the Perth grammar school and at Edinburgh University, but, his musical tastes developing, went to Paris, where he studied the violin under Baillot. He next went to Milan, and afterwards accepted an engagement as first viola player in the orchestra of the San Carlo Theatre at Naples. Either at Paris or Milan he had lessons from Mirecki, and at Naples he made the acquaintance of Crescentini, with whom he studied singing. On returning to Scotland Dun settled at Edinburgh, where he spent the remainder of his life, occupied in teaching the violin, composition, and singing. He published a collection of solfeggi with an introduction on vocal expression in 1829, but his name is best known by the collections of Scotch songs which he edited. He was also the composer of two symphonies (neither of which was published), of several glees and
