Mr Alexander W. Macphail's Edinburgh Cata- logue XCX. (we are uncertain as to the number intended) contains much of interest relating to Burns and Scott. There is an original Mb. of Burns.

Burns drew his pen through this, and wrote in its place the first line of his own song "Idream'd I lay where flowers were springing. The size of the document is 9iin. by 6 in., and the T)rice 101.
