Works about Franklin, cont'd.

Fergusson (Alexander). The Honourable Henry Erskine, Lord Advocate for Scotland; with notices of certain of his kinsfolk and of his time... Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons, 1882. xx, 564 pp., 1 chart, 5 port. 8°.

The editor, referring to David Earl of Buchan (1742-1829) states (pp. 487, 488) that many distinguished Americans were entertained by him in his house at Dryburgh; and he adds that: "It is well known that Benjamin Franklin was not over well pleased with the manner of his reception in this country. That his feelings with regard to the Earl of Buchan and his brother Henry Erskine were of a kindly character, the following tribute to the brothers perhaps bears evidence. These verses-Sapphics, the metre of Canning's Needy KnifeGrinder,'-are, as regards measure, of the most lax description, but will doubtless be considered a literary curiosity, whether they be Dr. Benjamin Franklin's or not. There is much doubt on this point. The original is without signature or date, but is in the handwriting of Earl David, with the endorsement by him

"Dr. Franklin to the Earl of Buchan.'

Ad Davidem Comitem de Buchan et ejus fratrem
Henricum.

'Genus Regale, paterni nec honores
Laqueata tecta nec munera fortunæ
Memora non tam propria sata manû
Tibi decora.

Virtus quam et mens letteris imbuta
Ingenium et callens artium bonarum
Comitas atque liberalis animus
Nobis benignus.

Par et equalis tibi apta conjux,

Quam gratiam et bonam, quam hilaremque
Quam familiarem et candidam se
Præbuit nobis.

O minor fratrum omnibus es notus
Juris consultus et actor disertus,
Nobis sed notus humanitate et
Dicacitate.'

Quis vero potest dicere sat digne
Virginis tui (sic) specimen et formam
Urbanitatem atque dulciorem

Fidibus vocem?

Quicquid se ipsas reddidit amabiles
Gratiæ dederunt, dedit Apollo

Arte sua canere pectora movere
Dedit et Venus.""

In a footnote (p. 488) it is said: "This paper was at one time in the collection of Mr. Dawson Turner, and is docketed as being in Benjamin Franklin's hand-which it certainly is not. It is to be regretted that the evidence is not more complete."
