108 In a presentation copy of the 2nd edition (1803) of The 

 Metrical Miscellany from Maria Riddell to "Charles Devon" she 

 lias Avritten in the names of many of the anonymous authors ; thus : — 

 "Nature and the Muses" is attributed to "Mrs. Riddell," but 

 this need not necessarily have been Maria Riddell. (This pre- 

 sentation copy is now (1914) in the possession of Mr. Thomas Fraser, 

 Dalbeattie.).
