Minister of St. George's-in-the-West Parish of St. Nicholas, Aberdeen THE WELL 014' SPA PREFACE IT has been a labour of love to prepare the following pages for publication. They by no means exhaust the subject to ,vhich they refer ; but they do bring to light some interesting particulars regarding the families whose genealogies are recorded. I offer the1n to my relatives and friends, with the hope that they ,vill generously forgive any omissions or errors. I may say, that the Volume had its origin in an idea that occurred to me, while collecting and arranging the extensive and interesting Diaries and Correspondence of my mother's five brothers, mentioned at pages 12--14, and at page 125. Some Letters appended to the Genealogies will show what kind of additional material might have been included in this book. Four names deserve n1ention for the ready help they have given, and for the kindly interest they have sho,vn. My life-long friend, the Rev. Stephen Ree, B.D., Minister of Boharm, revised the proofs and compiled the Index; P. J. Anderson, Esq., ~f.A., LL.B., Librarian of the University, ,vhose friendship also I have enjoyed for nearly as many years as I have lived, greatly encouraged as ,vell as advised me in the progress of the book; and to John A. Henderson, Esq., Cults, and to the late A. l\f. Munro, Esq., City Chamberlain, whose early death so many lament, I am indebted for helpful aid in producing the work. The limitation of the issue to 200 copies will make the volume increasingly valuable. JAMES SMITH. CONTENTS PAGE v . Preface ••• ••• • •• ••• ••• ••• • • • • • • ...

  • Some Queensland Memoir Writer^
    Some Queensland Memoir Writer^. Presidential Address, by F. W. S. CUMBRAE-STEWART, B.A., B.O.L. At Annual Meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, Friday, 30th August, 1918. Five years have passed since the inaugural meeting of this Society was held under the chairmanship of His Excellency, Sir William Macgregor, then Governor of Queensland and patron of the Society. During the time which has elapsed much history has been made, and the events which have shaken the world have not been favourable to quiet historical research, and I think that the Society must be congratulated on having maintained its existence in spite of so much that has hindered its work. Other difficulties overshadowed us. Before the first year had passed several of our members had died, and Sir William Macgregor had completed his useful and unstinted official service to the Empire. His retirement from the Governorship of Queensland removed him from us to his native;land. None of us who were privileged to be present will forget that morning when, on 15th July, 1914, he said farewell to us. Then came the war, which the wise had foretold, but the foolish ones had thought- was impossible. At one time the question of suspending the Society's operations was considered, but it was decided to carry on. When Sir Wm. Macgregor's successor arrived, he gave very ready and material help by taking the Society under his patronage. There are Others who have passed from our midst whose places we can never fill. Each year has added its toll.

  • The Presbyterian and Reformed Review
    — THE PRESBYTERIAN AND REFORMED REVIEW No. 41—January, 1900. I. DR. McGIFFERT’S HISTORICAL METHODS. ROFESSOR McGIFFERT’S History of Christianity in the P Apostolic Aye came before the world with more than ordi- nary claims to attention. It had the novelty of being an original contribution to the literature of the subject by an American scholar, and the further novelty of reaching its results by meth- ods hitherto more familiar to the German than to the English reader. It was issued as a volume of the “ International Theo- logical Library” and deemed worthy to be associated with the other works of that series emanating from well-known theologians and designed for the use of theological students on either side of the Atlantic. As such, it was ushered into the world with the apparent sanction of those who, as editors of the series, are pre- sumably responsible for the selection of the writers, if not for the indorsement of their general views. And it was sent forth under the imprint of an eminent publishing firm long and honorably known for its services in introducing to the English public trans- lations of Continental theology and not less enterprising of late in the publication of new works, English or American, in that domain.* It is a book, moreover, marked by freshness, vigor and adequate scholarship as well as by readiness of resource, power of ingenious combination, and ample license of conjecture, discard- ing commonly received opinions and advancing others with singu- lar freedom and self-confidence. * [Dr. Dickson’s allusion is to the well-known publishing house of Messrs.

  • SIR WILLIAM Macgregor and QUEENSLAND [By R
    80 SIR WILLIAM MacGREGOR AND QUEENSLAND [By R. B. JOYCE, Reader in History, University of Queensland] (Read at a Meeting of the Society on 26 AprU 1973) Your president in his kind invkation to me to speak to your society did not restrict me ki any subject beyond the general title of Sir WiUiam MacGregor. In speaking to a Queensland audience I think I should concentrate on his relationship with that colony and State, which was to become his favourite part of AustraUa. Twenty years ago, when I last addressed this society, I spoke of the British New Guinea syndicate affair of 1898^, an affair which placed MacGregor's relationship with Queensland at a low ebb for the then Queensland premier T. J. Byrnes became one of MacGregor's strongest oppon­ ents. You may know this affair was one in which MacGregor supported a British company — the British New Guinea syndicate — in its offer to purchase 250,000 acres of New Guinea for economic development. Byrnes crkicised hkn as he beUeved the syndicate was a danger to the Queensland sugar industry and to AustraUan national rights as agakist British rights. My themes will stem initiaUy from the conflicting points I have mentioned; to trace how MacGregor's relationships with Queensland changed. Thus MacGregor was criticised by Queensland's Premier in 1898, and this criticism was not atypical of the relationship of some Queenslanders to him. Yet his best friend Samuel Walker Griffith was a Queens­ lander. MacGregor favoured British interests against those of Queensland in 1898, yet he came to defend Queensland's expansion and its sugar industry.
