    It only remains for the author to add, that in re- vising the proof sheets, he has been highly indebt- ed to two of his friends; to David Irving, LL. D. the learned author of the Memoirs of Buchanan, and to Ninian Little, Esq. The former of these gentlemen having been appointed to the office of Keeper of the Advocates Library, an office succes- sively filled by Ruddiman, Hume, and Ferguson, and his time from that period being much less at his own disposal, Mr. Little very kindly and po- litely undertook the task which the Doctor had begun; and it is owing to their minute accuracy and unremitting attention, that many errors have been corrected, which would otherwise have es- caped the author's observation. ,
