The following are the other editions of this translation, which we have met with; we have seen an edition of 1765 quoted, but never met with it. The editions of 1804, 1813, and 1821, are in 18mo.; all the others are in 12mo. but vary much in the size of the paper.

This translation was more popular in the North, than the West Highlands; and on the appearance of the translation of Smith, it was almost entirely discarded in

the West Highlands. A number of copies of the edition of 1785 have the Paraphrases of 1786 bound with them. To each of them was attached the Shorter Catechism, but it was not always of the same date as the Psalter. The edition of 1800 is often to be found bound with the Bible of 1807.

SMITH'S PSALTER.

This translation is much altered from the former ones; all the North country words and Irishisms are thrown out, and the metre is suited to the West country dialect: the Paraphrases are published complete, (M'Farlane's translation including only 45,) and thoroughly revised and remodelled: also the five Hymns are added, as well as the Creed, Lord's Prayer, and Ten Commandments in metre. We have heard of one edition of 1801, in 18mo. and of another of 1797, in 12mo., but have not seen them. The first edition was printed in 1787, it contained two additional pages, with 15 Psalm tunes, which were not reprinted.

The edition of 1799, although printed at Edinburgh, was done for A. Orr, Glasgow,

The edition of 1817 was printed upon a fine demy paper, and the press was corrected by John Sinclair: it is by far the prettiest copy of Smith's translation that has been printed.

The edition printed by Wm. Lang, in 1825, has no date on the title page.

The edition of 1826, printed by Hutchison, was the first stereotyped edition, and contains a blunder in the title page, “Scrioprus," and many more in the text. The press was corrected by the Rev. Alexander Beith, minister of Kilbrandon.

The 32mo. edition, printed for Orr, was also stereotyped, and an impression was printed off in 1831.

The edition printed by Gardner, in 1830, was very carefully corrected in going through the press; and this edition, and the one of 1817, are decidedly the most correct. The press was corrected by the Rev. Malcolm M'Lachlan.

The 32mo. edition contained nothing more than the Psalms, Paraphrases, and Hymns.

Beside the foregoing list, a few may be found whose publishers do not correspond to any here given; but these are all cases in which a bookseller has bought a considerable number of copies, and printed a title page for himself; but as they could not be called bona fide editions, they have been omitted.
