Thomas Ruddiman, 1674-1757, Scots philologist, in 1702 was appointed assistant librarian of the Advocates’ Library, and eventually became
the keeper. Ruddiman was one of the compilers of the Advocates’ Library catalogue, and also assisted his friend Ames with
the
Typographical Antiquities

he was succeeded by David Hume. The first editions of the two parts of the
