THE WORKS OF SIR DAVID LINDSAY
introductory volume is still awaited. This edition will displace
earlier editions, notably that printed for the Hunterian Society
by J. B. Murdoch, 1873-1900.
The text of the Satyre as it appears in the Bannatyne MS.
appears in Vol. III. of Mr Ritchie’s edition. For this edition
of Lindsay the so-called “ Interludes ” have been rearranged
so that the text follows the line order of the quarto of 1602.

I have not been able to trace this manuscript. It belonged
to Pinkerton, and was sold with his library in 1812, being
bought by Heber for 13s. At Heber’s sale [Catalogue, Part XI.
(1836), Item 854] it was bought by ‘ J. Bohn ’ for 7s., both
prices being given in the Bodleian copy of the Heber Sale
Catalogue, annotated by Sir Henry Ellis. I have not been
able to trace it further. There were three London booksellers
named J. Bohn, and two more in Brighton and Canter¬
bury, but the item does not appear to be in any of their sale
catalogues.
The above title is taken from the Heber Sale Catalogue.
Laing, Lindsay, gives the date as 1631 (III. 301, and I. 332),
but also as 1636 (III. 301).
