copy of which was ever transmitted to him, and which,
indeed, he never saw till several years after he had en-
tered into office in the library.
Having thus briefly explained his views upon this
point, Mr Repp would next direct attention to the fact,
that the charges against him, laid before the Faculty
in the Curators’ statement, all refer to mechanical
employment — and mechanical employment of such a
nature and degree, that even if demanded of a common
porter it would have been held excessive. In resisting
injunctions of this kind, Mr Repp was not actuated
solely by the considerations above stated, but also by
the conviction, that his undertaking such a charge would
inevitably tend to bring the library into a state of still
greater confusion. It appeared, too, that Mr Repp was
not unsupported among the Curators themselves, either
in his general or special views with regard to this matter,
unless he entirely misunderstood the expressions of some
of these gentlemen ; for,
1. About two years ago, at a time when one of the
present Curators came into office, that gentleman stated
to Mr Repp, “ that his opinion was, that Mr Repp’s
situation in the Law Room was very unsuitable, but that
lie considered it only as temporary ; adding, that it being
now near the close of a session, Mr Repp would retain
the charge of the Law Room till the end of it; but, in
course of the next vacation, resume the charge of the
Historical Department.”
2. The present Lord Advocate, both at the time he
was Curator, and subsequently, frequently expressed the
opinion that Mr Repp’s appointment was of a literary,
and not of a mechanical nature.
3. Mr Thomas Maitland also expressed to Mr Repp
an opinion that his appointment was chiefly of a literary
character.
5. The Curator .above mentioned, (No. 1,) who is well
acquainted with the library, seeing Mr Repp’s note of
Remonstrance and Protest to the Curators, after he had
been charged with attendance in the sixteen repositories
of books in the lower part of the library, agreed with
Mr Repp, “ that it was impossible to undertake such a
charge.”
