Hiatt—for many years and its existence, save to a few, has been unknown. It is fragmentary in form. It is possibly the close of a journal which had been kept for years before. Its first sentence in the original is an incomplete one, showing that there was an antecedent portion. The picture of the times is so graphic than the Indiana Historical Society publishes it, on account of its historical value. Mr. Owen was 22 years old at the time of its composition.

  • Introduction. Bonhill Parish in Olden Times, According to Early Charters, Was Spelt “Bochlul” “Buthelulle” and “Bohtlul”
    Introduction. Bonhill Parish in olden times, according to early charters, was spelt “Bochlul” “Buthelulle” and “Bohtlul”. The Parish derives its name from the Gaelic word Bog-n’- uill, meaning “foot of the rivulet”. Gradually through the years the word changed until we now have Bonhill. The villages of Bonhill Parish are better known as the Vale of Leven and are named Bonhill, Jamestown, Balloch and Alexandria. They are all situated in the Leven Valley through which the river Leven flows, the second swiftest river in Scotland. According to reliable authorities the first reference to Bonhill Parish, that so far has been found, is in a charter of 1270. This charter was granted by Maldowen, the third Earl of Lennox in confirming a grant made to the church at Glasgow of “the land of Hachenkeroch, in the Parish of Buthelulle”. The Vale of Leven is bounded on the north by Loch Lomond on the south by the Burgh of Dumbarton, the tail end of the Grampians on the west and a lesser range of hills on· the east. The Vale of Leven is famous for its romantic beauty and go where you will there is no place to compare with “the beautiful Vale”. There is one snag and that is capitalism. The industrialists in erecting their factories gave no consideration to the beauty of the valley and ugly factories were dumped down with large chimney stalks reaching to the sky, belching foul black smoke. The Vale of Leven is the gateway to Loch Lomond, the most beautiful Loch in the world.

THE GROWTH OF THE COTTON INDUSTRY AND SCOTTISH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, 1780-1835. ABSTRACT This study is intended, first of all, to be an examination of the growth of the cotton industry in Scotland from 176*0 to 1835. During this period, it became the largest and most important sector of the Scottish industrial economy, producing over 70% of the country's exports by value. There is, however, a subsidiary problem, that of placing the industry's growth within the general context of Scottish economic development in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The choice of terminal dates was to some extent dictated by the availability of material.

  • Guide to the Robert Burns Holdings in the Rosenbach Museum & Library
    Guide to the Robert Burns holdings in the Rosenbach Museum & Library 20 January 2021 HISTORICAL NOTE Robert Burns (1759-1796) is a national symbol for Scots, the greatest in a long line of poets who wrote in the Lowland Scots dialect. The son of a tenant farmer, he had little formal education; but he read widely, and drew largely on the folk tales and tunes of his native land. He began his life as a poet while working a farm with his brother, Gilbert, from 1784 to 1788. During this period he wrote some of his best poetry, but managed to scrape only the barest living. In 1786, trying to raise money for passage to Jamaica where a job awaited him, he published the Kilmarnock edition of his early poems. It made him famous, though not rich, and he continued to combine careers as farmer and poet. In 1789 he supplemented his income by obtaining an appointment in the excise, finally giving up his farm in 1791. SCOPE & CONTENT The Rosenbach holds the manuscripts of more than 50 poems, including such important ones as “For a’ that and a’ that”, “Bannockburn”, “Tam O’Shanter”, and “The Rights of Woman”; as well as approximately 50 letters to such close friends as Frances Dunlop, Agnes M’Lehose (Clarinda), and Maria Riddell; and several letters by Burns’s family and friends, including Gilbert Burns, William Riddell, and Helen Maria Williams. Our holdings also include more than 40 books by Burns, mostly early editions, including a copy of the first edition of his Poems that belonged to his patron Frances Dunlop, with copies of additional poems and letters in her hand bound in.
