 368 Schultz Croyden Parish Register reads, "June 10, 1552. Alexander Barkley sepult, " thus corroborating the statement of Bale. These, then, are the scanty facts in the life of Alexander Barclay. It is possible that the speculations and deductions from Barclay's works made by Jamieson and other writers referred to previously may be true in part at least. But this outline, bare as it is, may clear up some matters hitherto unset- tled; and it shows Barclay more clearly than ever as a typical representative of the transition period between Humanism and Scholasticism.
