In 1827 the Reverend Peter Hall reprinted Lauder's famous work, "Compendious Tractate", in the "Crypt". Until that time William Lauder had almost vanished from the annals. Interest was revived and two small poetical tracts by William Lauder in 1568 and printed before 1572 were also discovered. One of these tracts was entitled "Ane Prettie Mirrour, or Conference betiux the faithful Protestant and the Dissemblit false Hypocreit", "printed at Edinburgh by Robert Lekpreuik" about 1570. At the end it states: "Quod William Lauder." Two further short poems followed, entitled "Ane trew & breue Sentencius Discriptioun of the nature of Scotland, Twitching the Interteniment of virtewus men That laketh Ryches", "compyld be William Lauder, Minister of God's wourd, &c.," and "Ane Gude Exempill Be the butterflie, instructing men to hait all Harlottrie". The latter has, at the end, "Quod William Lauder, Minister." A further poem was also bound into the volume, entitled "The Lamentaioun Of the Pure, twitching the Miserabill Estait of this Present Warld", "Compylit be William Lauder, at Perth, Primo Fabruarie, 1568" (1568/9).
