saying that the tune No. 116 in Johnson's Museum, was published by James Oswald in 1742 ; for, on looking into
Oswald's Second Collection, we find, p. 25, " The low lands of Holand," a tune totally unlike the one under the
same name in Johnson. The original of that tune, published by Oswald, is to be found in No. 17 of the Skene
MS. ; a fact which at once demolishes Oswald's claim to the tune, and brings additional proof of his utter untrust-
worthiness. See pp. 84, 85, of this work for " The Lowlands of Holland," and pp. 86, 87, for " Of a' the airts the
wind can blaw."
