Neither Wilson's nor Taylor's catalogues took account of the Inscriptions, the collection of which, as Wilson remarks forms the most laborious, and possibly the most valuable portion of the whole; very few of them have been translated but the whole of them have been examined and abstracted and drawn out in a tabular form stating the object of the inscrip tion, the date where found, and in whose reign or by whom inscribed. Of three folio manuscript volumes containing these abstracts, two were prepared after the death of Col. Mackenzie.
