P. 137. B. Mr. Macmath has a copy of 'The Goulden Vanitee' in the handwriting of Peter Scott Fraser which is identical with that printed by Logan except that it has Vanitee for Vanitie in 13 and 92, Countree in 42, they row'd in 61, Oh! in 81, and Eck iddle dee (not du) in the burden. Mr. Macmath notes that B was printed by Mrs. Gordon, in Christopher North, a Memoir of John Wilson, Edinburgh, 1862, II, 317 ff., in a form identical with that in Mr. Fraser's Manuscript copy [except for one variation (they 've row'd for they row'd in 61)].
