Abstract

The distinguished poet F. R. Scott (1899-1985) taught law at McGill from 1928 until his retirement in 1968, and was Dean of the Faculty of Law from 1961-1964. In the fall of 1988 his widow, the painter Marian Scott, donated to the University Scott's personal library of literature and general books. The books now form part of the Canadian literature holdings of the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections. The article describes the Scott library and some of the unusual and valuable books contained in it.
