were:---

1.The original diary of a Mr. Walter Crawford, a riding offi cer of the Excise, who was pre-1 sent at the seizure of the brig.

2.-An account of the seizure and sale of the vessel in the hand. writing of Burns himself.

3-A document written by Mr. John Lewars, who was present At the "captura, "detailing the circumstance of Burns having purchased the four carronades at the sale."

4.The sale catalogue in which the poet entered himself as the purchaser of the four guns for £3.

But subsequent Burns biograph. ers, including Scott Douglas in 1883, and Mr. F. Snyder; writ ing in April of this year, have con- tinued to be sceptical about the truth of the Rosamond story..
