Excerpt from Memorabilia of the City of Perth: Containing, a Guide to Perth, Historical Memoranda Respecting Perth; Charters Relating to the Privileges of Perth; List of the Ministers, and Rectors of the Grammar School and Academy IN 1770, a new edition of Mr Adamsonis Poem of 37m Marc's T brenbdz'e was published by Mr James Cant; who illustrated the frequent passages of local reference, with so many notes, that the book popularly acquired the' title of The History of Perth. It has now become exceedingly scarce audibeing the only account of this important place in print, is consequently in considerable demand. For se veral years the advertiser has purposed to reprint it; but he has been hitherto with-held by the expectation that the Li terary and Antiquarian Society woul dgive to the world, a work, more worthy the title of an History of their native place. He has participated with the Public in the disap pointment of this hope; and therefore ofi'ers to their pa. Tronage, the following colle&ion of notices, chiefly from Mr Cant's book; which, barren and ill digested as they are, must, for the present, occupy the situation of a more worthy volume.
