II.—An Account of St Columbd's Abbey, Inchcolm. Accompanied with Plans, ^c.1 (Plates IV.-VL) By THOMAS ARNOLD, Esq., Architect, M.R.LB.A, Lond. [Communicated January 11, 1869, with an Introductory Note.] NEAR the northern shores of the Firth of Forth, and within sight of Edin- burgh, lies the island anciently known as Emona, and in later times as Inchcolm, the island of St Columba. It is of very small extent, scarcely over half a mile in length, and 400 feet in width at its broadest part. The tide of commerce and busy life which ebbs and flows around has left the little inch in a solitude as profound as if it gemmed the bosom of some Highland loch, a solitude which impresses itself deeply on the stranger who comes to gaze on its ruined, deserted, and forgotten Abbey. Few even of those who visit the island from the beautiful village of Aberdour, close to it, know anything of its history, and as few out of sight of the island know of its existence at all. But although now little known beyond the shores of the Forth, Inchcolm formerly held a high place in the veneration of the Scottish people as the cradle of the religious life of the surrounding districts, and was second only to lona as a holy isle in whose sacred soil it was the desire of many generations to be buried. It numbered amongst its abbots men of high position and learning. Noble benefactors enriched it with broad lands and rich gifts, and its history and remains, like the strata of some old mountain, bear the marks of every great wave of life which has passed over our country.

The later medieval church, however, was demolished for masonry towards the end of the sixteenth century, and all that is left is its footprint and the south aisle or transept (the Lady Chapel).4 The site passed in 1924 from the earl of Moray to the care of H.

The Expedition of Humphry Clinker. Ed. Thomas Preston. Athens, GA: The University of Georgia Press. 1990. liv + 500 pp. After too many years of inaction, the edition of Smollett's works, now under the dynamic care of the general editor, Professor Jerry Beasley, is certainly doing remarkably well, with three excellent volumes produced in three successive years, Beasley's Ferdinand Count Fathom (1988), R. A. Day's History and Adventures of an Atom (1989), and Thomas Preston's much awaited Expedition of Humphry Clinker (late 1990). The textual edi tor, O. M. Brack, Jr., the technical editor, Jim Springer Borck, and the Uni versity of Georgia Press, must all be congratulated for helping to produce such a fine volume, meeting the most exacting technical, textual and biblio graphical standards. But pride of place must remain to Preston, whose diligent labors, care ful, learned and abundant annotations contribute to shed light on hitherto ob scure allusions-and Humphry Clinker, along with Ferdinand Count Fathom and the Atom, is certainly one of Smollett's most topical novels referring to the 1763-8 period.
