After printing the above-mentioned works, Myllar disappears, and the famous _Breviarium Aberdonense_, the work for which the King had mainly granted the license, was finished in 1509-10 by Chepman alone. It is an unpretentious little octavo, printed in double columns, in red and black, as became a breviary, but with no special marks of typographical beauty. Four copies of it are known to exist, but none of these are perfect. Chepman then disappears as mysteriously as his partner. In the Glamis copy of the _Bremarium_, Dr. David Laing discovered a single sheet of eight leaves of a book with the imprint: _Impressū Edinburgi per Johane Story nomine & mandato Karoli Stule_. Nothing more, however, is known of this John Story. In 1541-2 another printer, Thomas Davidson, is found printing _The New Actis and Constitutionis of Parliament maid Be the Rycht Excellent Prince James the Fift King of Scottis_, 1540. Davidson's press, which was situated 'above the nether bow, on the north syde of the gait,' was also very short-lived, and very few examples of it are now in existence; one of these, a quarto of four leaves, with the title _Ad Serenissimum Scotorum Regem Jacobum Quintum de suscepto Regni Regimine a diis feliciter ominato Strena_, is the earliest instance of the use of Roman type in Scotland. His most important undertaking, besides the Acts of Parliament, was a Scottish history, printed about 1542. The next printer we hear of is John Scot or Skot. There was a printer of this name in London between 1521 and 1537, but whether he is to be identified with this slightly later Scottish printer is not known. Between 1552 and 1571 Scot printed a great many books, most of them of a theological character. Among them was Ninian Winziet's _Certane tractatis for Reformatioune of Doctryne and Maneris_, a quarto, printed on the 21st May 1562, and the same author's _Last Blast of the Trumpet_. For these he was arrested and thrown into prison, and his printing materials were handed over to Thomas Bassandyne. In 1568 he was at liberty again and printed for Henry Charteris, _The Warkes of the famous & vorthie Knicht Schir David Lyndesay_; while among his numerous undated books is found Lyndsay's _Ane Dialog betwix Experience and Ane Courtier_, of which he printed two editions, the second containing several other poems by the same author. Scot was succeeded by Robert Lekpreuik, who began to print, in 1561, his first dated book, a small black-letter octavo of twenty-four pages, called _The Confessione of the fayght and doctrin beleued and professed by the Protestantes of the Realme of Scotland. Imprinted at Edinburgh be Robert Lekpreuik, Cum privilegio_, 1561. In the following year the Kirk lent him £200 with which to print the Psalms. The copy now in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, bound with the _Book of Common Order_ printed by Lekpreuik in the same year, probably belongs to this edition.
