The RATES of PREMIUM have been carefully revised and re-calculated upon the Tables of the Institute of Actuaries— the most recent and exact data available ; and it will be found that in point of Economy the New Rates compare favourably with those of any other office. Special attention is directed to the LOW RATES of PREMIUM for FIXED BENEFITS, by which the largest amount of Immerliate Assurance may be effected at the lowest present outlay. Combined with the Security afforded by the NON-FORFEITURE SYSTEM, these Assurances present a highly advantageous mode of investment for FAMILY PROVISION. EIGHTH DIVISION OF PROFITS, 1885. NINE-TENTHS (90 per cent.) of the PROFITS are divided among the Assured every FIVE YEARS.

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 HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets,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.

    xxvi Proceedings of Royal Society of Edinburgh. Sir James Falshaw, Bart. By Bailie J. A. Russell, M.A., M.B. (Read January 6, 1890.) Last June Sir James Falshaw, Bart., J.P., D.L., who had been long and honourably known in connection with railway and muni- cipal matters in Scotland, died in Edinburgh, at the age of 79. He was the son of a wool merchant in Leeds, where he was born on 21st March 1810, the sixth of a family of fourteen; but it was in Scotland that he won fortune and reputation, and that he finally settled. At school he sat on the same bench with Sir John Hawkshaw under Mr Jonathan Lockwood, and at the age of fourteen he was articled for a seven years' apprenticeship to Mr Cusworth, architect and surveyor. At this time he laid the foundation of his first success by mastering the subject of skew arches. He then became agent in charge of a section of the Leeds and Selby Eailway for the contractors Messrs Hamar & Pratt, who subsequently appointed him to the entire charge of the construction of the Whitby and Pickering Railway. In this bit of work he gained experience of steep gradients, curves, and other difficulties which afterwards stood him in good stead. Thereafter he obtained the position of chief-assistant to Mr G. Leather, engineer of the Aire and Calder Navigation, Goole Docks, &c. During the seven years he was with Mr Leather he had a share in preparing many important engineering schemes, among which were the Leeds Waterworks, involving a tunnel of 1J mile, the Bradford Water- works, and the Stockton and Hartlepool Eailway, of which Mr (now Sir John) Fowler was resident engineeer.

    Kennoway Mobile Service KY8

    Dear Customer Changes to Kennoway Mobile Service We are pleased to let you know that we have restored Post Office services to the community of Lower Largo with the introduction of a Mobile service which commenced on 23 October 2018. Please accept my apology for the late notification on this occasion. Since the closure of the above branch we have continued to work to identify a solution to restore service to the local community. We have therefore introduced a Mobile service, which is a tried and tested way of maintaining service to smaller communities. The Mobile Service is a travelling Post Office aboard a specifically designed vehicle that brings Post Office services and retail products to communities without relying on fixed premises that has formed part of our operational network for some years now. We are therefore pleased to inform you that the postmaster from Kennoway Post Office is providing service to the above location. The establishment of Mobile services presents the best possible solution to restore Post Office service to this community. In addition to these services, we have also provided temporary Mobile services to Balbeggie, Glencarse, Burrelton from week commencing 22 October 2018 and to Leslie from 12 January 2019, while we continue to seek a permanent solution. In addition to introducing the new services above, we are pleased to let you know that we have been able to increase service times for Lundin Links, Lower Largo and Elie from week commencing 22 October 2018. To accommodate those extensions of opening times and new Mobile services, there have been some changes to the current services at Crail, Dunshalt, Spittalfield, Guildtown, Rait and Rhynd from the same date.
