been found. Mr Repp, however, has a distinct recol-
lection of a few things stated in the report alluded to,
— viz. ls£, That the discrepancy as to the number of
volumes in the original and in the keeper’s catalogue was
not considerable; but, 2d, That there was some discre-
pancy as to the editions of certain valuable works, it
sometimes appearing that those received here were less
valuable than those entered in the original catalogue;
and 3d, That the condition of the Sale Catalogue was in
a high'degree objectionable, inasmuch as it was not
numbered nor paged, nor in any instance provided with
a catchword, and thus, each individual page was quite
independent of that which preceded or followed; and
farther, that although a bound book, and apparently
bound in London, it was, nevertheless, very considerably
thicker in the back than at the front. Mr Repp there-
fore reported, that it was altogether such a document as
appeared to him ought not to have been received
without inquiry.
Subsequently to the period of the report by Mr Repp,
now referred to, a communication relative to the Spanish
Library was made to the Faculty by the Curators in
an annual report, bearing no date, but which must have
been laid before the Faculty, either in 1831 or 1832. It
is signed by the following gentlemen:—Messrs George
Joseph Bell, James Keay, John Dunlop, James Walker,
Robert Thomson, and is as follows:—
“ Spanish Library.—The whole of this library has
been arranged in shelves in the entrance to the Thorkelin
Room, and has been for some months accessible to
members of the Faculty. The Curators regret to
mention, that the extent of this library is not nearly
equal to what was originally supposed, as they have the
best reason to believe that it does not, at the very
utmost, exceed 3400 volumes. They are informed,
however, that the library was sold according to a
catalogue, now in the hands of Dr Irving, which was
compared, at the time of sale, with the books sold, and
they have no reason to doubt that all the books thus
sold were transmitted to the library. A list has been
made up of such works in this library as are defective,
and also of various popular or valuable Spanish works
which are not to be found in it, with the view of having
