In 1774, Mr. James Cant, in his appendix to his
edition of Mr. Henry Adamson's " Muse's Thre-
nodie," or Metrical History of Perth, inserted a
copy of the above work of Lord Hailes, as having
been given by a " judicious writer," but he was
not then at liberty to mention his name. Mr. Cant
then added some extracts, which he had taken
from Calderwood's manuscript History.
15. MR. ALEXANDER DUFF'S DISSERTATION.
In 1785, the late Mr. Alexander Duff, minister
of Tibbermuir, in the presbytery of Perth, delivered

cords of some conciliatory benefits which the King
conferred upon the town, after the death of its
provost, the Earl of Gowrie.
