10 2. Another Curator, a distinguished historian, had occasion to make extracts from an ancient Portuguese Chronicle. Mr Repp prepared for him a translation of the passages he required, and he is glad to know he did so to his satisfaction. 3. The present Lord Advocate repeatedly suggested to Mr Repp a literary plan of such a nature as implied great confidence in Mr Repp’s attainments; and it referred to a department of literature in which it was not probable that Mr Repp would have found many competitors in this country. That the plan has not liiterto been acted upon, arises from the circumstance of Mr Repp not having had any prospect opened to him, that its execution would be attended with adequate remuneration. 4. Mr Repp’s little work, “ On Trial by Jury in Scandinavia,” received the approbation of several gentle- men who have been Curators, and of a considerable number of the Faculty. Mr Repp has in his possession letters by which this averment can be substantiated, and which are as satisfactory to him as the favourable public judgment of critics, both in this country and abroad, with which the book has been honoured. 5. Were it necessary, Mr Repp could produce a con- siderable number of documents, both from this and from other countries, in which opinions are stated, both officially and extra-officially, respecting his literary attainments, from quarters of the very highest authority; and if the Faculty shall deem that these ought to be examined, he is quite ready to exhibit them. They certainly would tend to facilitate the decision of the question, whether Mr Repp possesses sufficient knowledge for the com- pilation of catalogues. 6. While engaged in compiling a catalogue of the northern manuscripts, Mr Repp acted under a committee which had been appointed with the concurrence and members of the club (the Bannatyne Club) to know, that the volume now presented to them lias passed through the press under the superin- tendance of Mr Repp, with the occasional assistance of Mr Jamieson of the General Register House, and of Mr Alexander Macdonald, assistant curator of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. To these gentlemen every acknowledgment is due for their valuable editorial labours. Of the mode in which the work has been edited, Mr Repp gives the fol- lowing account,” &c.
