MS. in the Advocates’ Library:--

Rerum Scoticarum Compendium, in usum Scholarum. Per Alexandrum
Humium ex antiqua et nobili gente Humiorum in Scotia, a primâ stirpe
quinta sobole oriundum. This work is dated October 1660, and is
therefore merely a transcript. It is an epitome of Buchanan’s
History, and Chr. Irvine in Histor. Scot. Nomenclatura, calls it
Clavis in Buchananum, and Bishop Nicholson (Scottish Hist. Lib.)
praises its Latin style.

The following three works are inserted by Dr. Steven in his list of
Hume’s writings, and have been supposed to be his by M’Crie and others;
but Mr. D. Laing believes “there can be no doubt, from internal
evidence, that the true author was Alexander Hume, the poet, who became
minister of Logie, near Stirling, in 1597, and who died in December,
1609.” In Wood’s Athenæ Oxonienses, by Bliss, i., 624, it is stated that
all three of them “were printed in London in 1594, in October,” but this
must, I think, be a mistake.

Ane Treatise of Conscience, quhairin divers secreits concerning that
subject are discovered. At Edinburgh, printed by Robert Walde-grave,
Printer to the King’s Maiestie 1594. 8o.

Of the Felicitie of the world to come, unsavorie to the obstinate,
alluring to such as are gone astray, and to the faithfull full of
consolation. Edinb. 1594. 8o.

Four Discourses, of Praises unto God, to wit, 1 in Praise of the Mercy
