In this list Young refers to "ane part that I haue ellis gottin," evidently the other list, which was of books more adapted to school use. Thus this other list is not earlier than October 28, 1573. Several of the books appear in the Index, five in one group as from the Regent (fol. 16a), two in another as from him (folio 15a). But the final three appear in a separate list dated December 22,.1575 (folio 14a). These last came evidently after the Index had been made up. They thus furnish further evidence that the Index was for the most part made up before December 22, 1575. But the fact that one of these brooks got entered in the Index and was then cancelled probably indicates that the Index had not been made up long before. These lists thus center around the Regent, who turned over most of the books he had collected from Mary's library, in November, 1578, after he had ceased to be Regent on March 8,1 i78. The preceding year Young had finally secured many of the books listed in the inventory of 1569; but those got entered in the sequence of the Index, which we have just examined. The general order of Young's entries is thus clear enough and could be further clarified by the paleographical evidence. The earlier lists of books, mostly of school books, which Warner oniits because they did not represent actual purchases would also be of great value as showing what Young hoped to get for James.
