HAMILTON'S CATECHISM, continued : bifchoippis and vthir prelatis | (On the reverse:) AD IOHNE BE THE MERCIE OF GOD Archbifchop of fanct Androus, Metrapolitan | £ 8. d. Sm. 4to., 220 leaves, black letter (except the headings, quotations, and colophon, which are in Roman), 31 lines to page; with foliation and signatures; a very fine copy in old gilt russia, gilt edges St. Andrews, [John Scot], 1552 163 0 0 the THE FIRST BOOK PRINTED AT SAINT ANDREWS, and one of the rarest and most remarkable volumes produced in Scotland during the agony of the Reformation. There is no reference throughout to the Pope or the Church of Rome, beyond what may be gathered from the titles of the Archbishop, as for instance in the words the seit Apostolyck. This moderation, or caution, did not however save the work from destruction at the hands of the sectaries, nor the archbishop himself from murder nineteen years later. Very few copies of the Catechism have survived, perfect or imperfect: it would perhaps be difficult to specify three complete ones besides this which is a very fine and sound one, the only defect being that a small portion of the corner of one leaf (Nn), has been torn off, injuring the catchword only. The arrangement is: 4 preliminary leaves; 9 leaves; A-X in fours; Y and Z in eights; Aa and Bb in eights; Cc four; Dd-Nn in eights; Oo four, and PP 3. The foliation is irregular, but comes right towards the end. 2081*CATECHISM (The), set forth by ARCHBISHOP HAMILTON, printed at Saint Andrews, 1551; together with the Two-Penny Faith, 1559.
