Many Thanks for Your Gift

Christmas has come early, or good St Nicholas a few days late: I am very happy publicly to thank William Tighe for sending me, amongst other interesting items, a copy of Dowden's The Scottish Communion Office of 1764, in the revised edition put out by Wilson in 1922.

I am much in your debt, Mr Tighe, for this rare and thoughtful present; would that all my interlocutors gave such gifts!
