'Les Proverbes de Salomon escrites en diverses sortes de lettres par Esther Anglois Françoise. A Lislebourg en Escosse, 1599', the book of Proverbs in French, each chapter being written in a different calligraphic style with the greatest neatness; the pages also have borders, while smaller ornaments in imitation of printed devices abound.

The title is on p. vii; p. x bears an elaborate coat of arms of the earl of Essex, to whom the work is dedicated at p. xi on April 13, 1599. On pp. xiii-xvii are Latin poems to the earl of Essex by Andrew Melville, Robert Rollock, and John Johnston, to Esther Inglis and her book by Melville (three) and Johnston; her own portrait is on p. xv, and she contributes a short French prayer in verse, on p. 67. For Esther Langlois, Anglois, Inglis, or Kello (d. 1624), the known productions of her pen and a reproduction of her portrait and some verses (p. xv of the present volume), see the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, vol. vi (1868), pp. 284-309, notes by David Laing. See also MS. Bodl. 987.

On p. v is a memorandum about Esther Inglis and her descendants, written by Thomas Hearne and attested by Samuel Kello, her great-grandson, on Sept. 16, 1711.
