No More Learning

He had already pre-
sented, in 1627, a collection of 500 volumes to the university of
Edinburgh, which is still carefully preserved in the university
library. Among them are early editions of some of the following
writers: Bacon, Chapman, Churchyard, Daniel, Dekker, Donne,
Drayton, Heywood, Ben Jonson, Marston, May, the countess of
Pembroke, Quarles, Selden, Shakespeare (Love's Labour's Lost,
1598, Romeo and Juliet, 1599), Sidney, Spenser, Sylvester and
George Wither. The Latin preface which Drummond himself
wrote and prefixed to the catalogue is worthy of note as embody-
ing a kind of philosophy of bibliography conceived in the spirit of
an educated layman of the time.
As good husbandmen,' wrote the Scotch laird,' plant trees in their times,
of which the after-age may reap the fruit, so should we; and what antiquity
hath done for us, that should we do for Posterity, so that letters and learning
may not decay, but ever flourish to the honour of God, the public utility, and
the conservation of human society? '.
