Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poems of Alexander Hume: 1555-1609; Edited From the d104 of Waldegrave (1599) With Notes, Appendices, and Glossary The Editor has to acknowledge very warmly the kindness of many friends who gave him access to books and manuscripts, or rendered other services in the course of his researches. He has to record his special obligation to the authorities of Edinburgh University for the use of their copy of Waldegrave's edition of the 'Hymns' and of the "Treatise of Conscience"; to John Scott, Esq., C.B., of Halkshill, Ayrshire, who personally superintended a most careful transcription of his own almost unique copy of "The Felicitie of the Life to Come," and gave it with a goodwill which made the gift doubly welcome; and to the Rev. George Murray, B.D., of Sauchie, Clerk to the Presbytery of Stirling, who not only carefully and cheerfully extracted all passages in the Records under his care bearing upon Hume's ministry at Logie, but also read the Introduction in proof. The Editor has also to thank most cordially the Librarians of St Andrews University, of Edinburgh University, and of the Advocates' Library for unfailing courtesy and willingness to oblige.
