(C.) COLLECTIONS.

THE Collections of Songs, Poems, Proverbs, and other Miscellanies are innumerable and of various degrees of merit. The subjoined list makes no pretensions to completeness:

1641. Scottish Proverbs, gathered together by David Ferguson, sometime minister at Dumferline, and put ordine alphabetico when he departed this life, anno 1598. Edinburgh.

Dean Ramsay says: "The book is now extremely rare, and fetches a high price. The proverbs, amounting to 945, are given without any comment or explanation; many of them are of a very antique cast of language; indeed some would be to most persons quite unintelligible without a lexicon." There is a copy of the book in the library of the Writers to the Signet. Dean Ramsay gives a selection from the proverbs in the fifth chapter of his Reminiscences of Scottish Life and Character.

1707. Select Proverbs, Italian, Spanish, French, English, Scottish, and British, chiefly Moral. Published by P. Monkton, London. The Scottish Proverbs are at pp. 118-122.

A volume of nearly 400 pages. Contains a short explanation or commentary attached to each proverb, and often parallel sayings from other languages. Kelly says: There were current in society upwards of 3,000 proverbs, exclusively Scottish." His book is constantly quoted by Jamieson, and Dean Ramsay bears testimony to its excellence "for the study of good old Scotch."
