Maclean, Typographia Scoto-Gadelica, page 189.
Maclean’s note to this work reads: This Edition is now very rare; on a copy before us it is written in old handwriting, that many copies of the work were burned by the common hangman in Edinburgh in 1751 . . . We know of about a dozen copies. It is not improbable that the book was printed in Glasgow. The type is identical with what was used in printing Macfarlane’s version of the Psalms in 1752.
Maclean describes eight editions of the work.
