Historic Memorials & Reminiscences of Stockbridge
Historic Memorials & Reminiscences of Stockbridge THE DEAN, AND WATER OF LEITH WITH NOTICES ANECDOTAL, DESCRIPTIVE, AND BIOGRAPHICAL. BY CUMBERLAND HILL, CHAPLAIN TO THE COMBINATION WORKHOUSE OF ST CUTHBERT's AND CANONGATE, EDINBURGH. ILLUSTRATED WITH SIX FULL-PAGE DRAWINGS. SECOND EDITION, ENLARGED. EDINBURGH: ROBERT SOMERVILLE, 10 SPRING GARDENS. RICHARD CAMERON, i ST DAVID STREET. 1887. <?W(fi1 5 ' •*- ' i i IC Lin TY university ui uullph PKEFACE TO THE FIEST EDITION. The substance of the following pages was delivered first as a lecture at the opening of the Working Men's Institute, Stockbridge, in March 1866. It was after- wards re-delivered, with additional notes, as two lectures, in Dean Street United Presbyterian Church, on the evenings of the 24th and 26th January 1871. At the close of the last lecture, I was requested to publish what I had delivered. Circumstances have prevented me from complying with this request until now. In the interval I have been enabled to add a good deal of curious matter connected with the locality that did not appear in any of the lectures. It will be remembered that I speak of the Stockbridge of the past more than of the present. In the course of the narrative I have mentioned the sources from whence the most material parts of my information have been derived. I may add that the subject is by no means exhausted. ;; IV ntEFACE. In most cases the source of my information has been acknowledged, but I have specially to mention the following works : —Ballantine's Life of David Roberts Cunningham's Lives of the British Painters. -

Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography. -

CI.AV, SOX, AND TAYLOR, PRINTERS, BREAD STREET HILL, #43 *- Co ing 110%r, THESE MEMORIALS OF THE PAST AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED. PREFACE. THE following Memoir has been undertaken at the urgent solicitation of friends. Dreading the temptations to partial and therefore untruthful representation, to which relatives are exposed in attempting to portray the character of the objects of their love, I at first resolutely declined to be the Biographer of my brother. It was only when one to whom the public instinctively looked with hope, the Rev. Dr. Cairns, expressed reluctantly, but decisively, his inability to undertake the task, that my scruples were overcome ; and the result is now before the reader. While an honest and earnest attempt has been made throughout after truthful simplicity of narration, all ex- pression of personal opinion has been as far as possible avoided. In fact, the mass of letters at my disposal has made the Life in great part an autobiography. I have to acknowledge, with much gratitude, assistance received from the scientific friends whose names appear as contributors to the volume, and also the great kindness with which they and others have placed letters and private papers freely at my service. -

A Memoir of His Life and Literary Work BY GILBERT GOUDIE, F.S.A.Scot. AUTHOR OF 'the CELTIC AND SCANDINAVIAN ANTIQUITIES OF SHETLAND* EDITOR OF mill's ' DIARY,' ETC. ETC. WITH INTRODUCTION BY LORD GUTHRIE EDINBURGH PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION BY T. AND A. CONSTABLE 1913 2^0 Copies printed i^ Ui4Cr^t V PREFACE J It has been said that to write a Life as it should be written it should be done ' while the memory of the man himself is still vivid in the mind of his biographer and of others.' In the present instance ^^^ more than thirty years had passed between Laing's demise and the time when I was asked to under- V take his memoir. I could yet, however, claim to "^ have had the privilege of his acquaintance and to f4\<\ have retained a vivid impression of his personality. The request was therefore complied with, though not without hesitation, because the undertaking was obviously attended with difficulties due to the lapse of time and the uncertainty as to the ade- J quacy of any biographic materials that might be available. These difficulties were, however, gradu- ally surmounted as the work proceeded. My aim has been to present the man, his life and character, not from any preconceived idea of my own, but as he is portrayed by himself in the occasional biographic scraps he has left, by the tone and tenor of his works, and by the independent 2i40'?G vi DAVID LAING testimony of men of light and leading, contempor- aries of his own, in this country and abroad, who knew him well, who were entitled to speak, and did speak, with no uncertain voice both during his life- time and after his decease. -

University of St.Andrews September 1990 I ABSTRACT This thesis alms to provide an interpretation of McTaggart's work within a discussion of critical discourse in British art, referring In particular to the relative values of content and technique, in the second half of the nineteenth century. The first section contains an overview of the critical approaches to McTaggart's work from early career to the present day, centred upon how the notion of "impressionist" has been applied to McTaggart. This Is followed by an examination of some of the broad determinants of McTaggart's career, such as patronage and his relationship with Academic establishment. Section II deals with content In landscape art, looking first at the status of landscape In British art. It examines how content was dealt with in Scottish landscape painting prior to McTaggart, and how McTaggart's choice of painting locations addressed traditions of Scottish landscape. The notion of the "poetic" landscape Is advanced as an appropriate Interpretation of McTaggart's approach. Within this, specific Influences upon McTaggart, such as that of J.E. -
