KING'S COLLEGE, ABERDEEN,

ABERDEENSHIRE.

THIS College is built in a quadrangular form, with clois ters on the south side. The chapel is very ruinous within, but there still remains some wood-work, of exquisite carving. This was preserved by the exertions of the principal, at the time of the reformation, who armed his people, and checked the furious zeal of the barons of the Mearns, who, after stripping the cathedral of its roof, and taking away the bells, were going to violate this seat of learning.

The College was founded in 1494 by William Elphinston, bishop of this see, and lord chancellor of Scotland, in the reign of James III. and lord privy seal in the time of James IV. He was a person of such eminence, that his cotemporaries firmly believed that his decease was presaged by various prodigies, and that supernatural voices were heard at his interment.

The College library is large. The most remarkable books here are John Trevisa's translation of Higdon's Polychronicon, in 1387 (the MS is excellently wrote, and the language, for that time, very good), and a very neat Dutch missal, with elegant paintings upon the margin. There
