bhuailteir do'n ard thigh-fhoghlinn, air son Uilleam Ettles, agus a Chuideachd Leabhar-reicead airean, Inbhernis, 1818." 18mo.

This edition was merely a reprint of the former one, with the addition of the Paraphrases, and a few typographical corrections.

"Sailm Dhaibhidh ann an dan Gaidhealach do reir na Heabra. Glasgow: published by Fran

cis Orr, 1830." 32mo. pp. 356.

This is merely a reprint of the pure text of the former edition; it contains the Paraphrases, but they have no separate title page.

THE ASSEMBLY'S PSALTER.

The first edition of this translation was printed in 4to. and 8vo., for the quarto and octavo Bibles, as under.

Duneidin; Clodh-bhuailte le I. & D. Collie, 1827." 18mo. pp. 436.

"SAILM DHAIBHIDH, maille ri Laoidhibh, air an tarruing o na Sgrioptuiribh Naomha; chum bhi air an seinn ann an aoradh Dhé. Air an leasachadh, agus air an cur a mach le h-ùghdarras Ard-sheanaidh eaglais na h-Alba.

The Paraphrases had a separate title, as under.

"Laoidhean air an tarruing o na Scrioptuiribh Naomha, chum bhi air an seinn ann an aoradh Dhé. Duneidin: Clodh-bhuailte le Anderson agus Brise, 1828." 24mo.

The above was the third edition of this revised translation, and was published to bind with the 24mo. Bible and Testament. The price, in quires, was 4d.; it consisted only of two sheets of paper, or 92 pages.

SMITH'S NEW TESTAMENT PSALMS.

"SAILM DHAIBHIDH air an deana' ni's iomchuidh arson aora' Chriostuidhean. A new Gaelic Version of the Psalms of David, more adapted to Christian Worship, and to the Capacity of plain and illiterate persons, by John Smith, D.D. Glasgow: Printed by Niven, Napier, & Khull, and Sold by J. & A. Duncan, Booksellers, Trongate, 1801." 18mo. pp. viii. 232.

D

This was a New Version of the Psalms, more free than the common one, and formed very much after the model of Watt's Paraphrases of the Psalms. The verse was rendered shorter, and more assimilated to bardic composition than in the common version. It was printed on common and fine paper; the published prices were 1s. and 1s. 6d.

THE SHORTER CATECHISM.

This contains, besides the Shorter Catechism, An Address, "A Leghthora." "Na deich Naitheanta." "Urnuighe an Tighearna." "A Chred." It is the first edition that we have been able to hear of, yet, as we learn from the title page, it is the second edition.

"FOIRCEADUL AITHGHEAR CHEASNUIGHE ar ttùs ar na òrdughadh le Coimhthionol na Ndiàghaireadh aig Niàrmhanister an Sasgan; leis an Daontuighe

This contains, besides the Catechism, An Address, “A Leghthora," "Na deich Aitheanta," "Urnuighe an Tighearna," "A Chred." From the title page we learn that it is a sixth edition: what the dates of the others are we have been unable to trace. The following are the other editions that we have met with.

"FOIRCEADUL AITHGHEAR CHEASNUIGHE, ar ttus ⠀ar na ordughadh le Coimhthionol na Ndiaghaireadh aig Niarmhanister, an Sasgan; leis an Daontuighe Ard-seanadh Eagluis na Halbana, chum a bheith na chuid egin daonmhodh Chrabhuidh eidir Eaglaisibh Chriosd annsna tri Rioghachdaibh.

Both of these state on the title that they are the eighth edition, what the date of the seventh was we know not. The edition of 1725 states also, at the bottom, that it is printed for the first time; but this merely applies to the Confession of Faith, of which it formed a part.

"FOIRCEADUL AITHGHEAR CHEASNUIGHE, ar ttus. ar na ordughadh le Coimhthionol na Ndiaghaireadh aig Niarmhanister, an Sasgan; leis an Daontuighe Ard-seanadh Eagluis na Halbann, chum a bheith na chuid egin daonmhodh Chrabhuidh edir Eaglaisaibh Chriosd annsna tri Rioghachdaibh.

The words, "an dara uair," apply not to the Catechism, but to the Confesion of Faith, printed with it.
