245. _Epigram ascribed to Mary Queen of Scots._--When the Queen visited
the library of Trinity College, Dublin, in 1849, she was shown an early
edition of Sallust, which had belonged to Mary Queen of Scots, and has
her autograph signature, and many MS. notes and a MS. Latin epigram,
_supposed_ to be her Majesty's composition. The volume is a small
quarto, title _Opera Sallustiana_, with the date 1523, and a colophon:
"Impressus per Antonium Blanchard anno domini M. quingentessimo
xxiii. pridie Kalend. Sextilis."
