xxii JOURNAL OF JOHN LAUDER
Hi.qtoricat Noticea of Scottish ~ffaira, had actually proceeded
to press to page 304 in 1825, when the misfortunes of the
publisher put a stop to the enterprise. After an interval of
several years the greater portion of Sir Thomas's transcripts
was placed at the disposal of the Bannatyne Club.' The
result was the publication of the Observes and the Hiatorical
Notices. Mr. Laing adds, 1 If at any subsequent time some
of his missing :~iSB. should be discovered, another volume of
Selections, to include his early Journal and enracts from
his smaller notebooks, might not be undeserving the atten-

never printed, was reviewed by hir. Cosmo Innes in 1864
in the North Briti~h Review, v ol. xli. p. 170.
