We are fortunate in having companion characters of Lauderdale by

and is officially his inferior. Burnet looks back on him at the

Page 228, ll. 14-17. Compare Roger North's _Lives of the Norths_, ed.

a choice library, took great pleasure ... in hearing him talk of
languages and criticism'. Compare also Evelyn's _Diary_, August 27,
1678. His library was dispersed by auction--the French, Italian, and
Spanish books on May 14, and the English books on May 27, 1690: copies
of the sale catalogues are in the Bodleian. The catalogue of his
manuscripts, 1692, is printed in the _Bannatyne Miscellany_, vol. ii,
1836, p. 149.

The break came suddenly, and with no apparent cause, in 1673, when
Burnet was appointed roy
