"The second part of this volume is the first German edition of Schmidel's Voyage, and it is so rare that Meuselius says he could never find the German edition, and Camus doubts whether it was ever printed in German. Schmidel or Schmidts returned from his voyage in 1554. This is one of the rarest, if not the rarest of the early German collections of Voyages." MS. note.

This is called by Pinkerton'a most curious piece, well written, and fraught with great learning, the only classic work in old Scottish prose,' and Lord Hailes declared, that if the study of Scotish history should ever revive, a new edition of Inglis's Complaint would be an acceptable present to the public.' See the preliminary Dissertation by Leyden to the edition of 1801. Of this extremely rare book only four copies are known, one in the British Museum, one belonging to J. M'Gowan, Esq.; one belonging to Mr. G. Paton, and the present copy, belonging formerly to the Duke of Roxburghe. All the four copies want the Title, of which there is only a small remnant in this; in other respects this copy upon a laborious collation is found quite perfect.
