    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[&#039;John Knox&#039;s Watch - traditionally regarded as having been presented to him by Queen Mary. It is of silver, in the form of an oblong octagon, the shape known as a Nurnberg egg: 11/2 &#039; long, 1 1/5&#039; broad, and was made by &#039;N. Forfaict a Paris.&#039; It has only one pointer. On the dial-plate is represented a pastoral scene with houses; on the outside case are branches of trees and other similar designs. It has been preserved in the family of the late Mr Thomson of Banchory, who was descended from one of Knox&#039;s daughters, and was presented by him to the Senatus of the Free Church College, Aberdeen.&#039; (Free Church College is Christ&#039;s College whose museum contents were presented to the museum in 1952.) Note: - See letter from the British Museum (in John Knox&#039;s Watch File) dated 02.03.1959 where it is stated that it is unlikely that the watch by N. Norfaict could be old enough to have been given by Mary Queen of Scots to John Knox. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

The remains of the temple are near the summit, about twenty five miles from Soerabaja The idols are Hindoo - Ganesa etc. At one time a large portion of the inhabitants of Java were Hindoos; there is still a small colony of them about twenty miles off. They go to worship on the Brom&#039;s mountain which is a vast old volcano with active fire in one corner A great plain of sand on it, at elevation of six thousand feet - totally barren. Sounds hollow under foot of a man. A few inhabitants on border of it cultivate European vegetables as turnips - cabbages etc&#039; for Soerabaja market The present inhabitants on the Arjuno are Mohammedans and cared nothing about the idols.]]></dcterms:abstract>
