1606 SCOTLAND:—­A VERY CURIOUS AND RARE SERIES OF LATIN POEMS (BY ALEXANDER JULIUS) on the Marriage or Deaths of some Scottish Nobles, as the Marchioness of Huntley, Edin. 1607—­Countess of Argyle, ib. 1607—­Earl Keith, ib. 1609—­Earl of Montrose, ib. 1609—­Prince Henry, ib. 1612—­Fredericke Prince Palatine, ib. 1614—­Earl of Lothian; with the author’s Sylvarum liber, 1614

Of these rare poetical pieces four are unnoticed by Lowndes; five of them are published anonymously; but their similarity to those with an author’s name testifies the source from which the others emanated.

The collection contains a good deal of early Dutch poetry, well deserving attention for the lights which we are sure may be thrown from it upon our own early national literature.
