    THE BALFOURS OF PILRIG A HISTORY FOR THE FAMILY, BY BARBARA BALFOUR-MELVILLE OF PILRIG PILRIO House. EDINBURGH WILLIAM BROWN, 5 CASTLE STREET 1907 Edinburgh: T. and A. Co::-;sTABLE, Printers to His Majesty DEDICATED TO THE DEAR MEMORY OF A. B.-M. vVHO FIRST PLANNED THIS HISTORY PREFACE Years ago ,ny fat her and nzother made researches among the scattered branches of the family z"n order to compile a record of all who claimed descent from 'The pi"rst Laird.' In those days these researches resulted in apparently inter- 1ninable sheets of paper, wh£ch for purposes of study used to be spread out on the floor. They were covered with neatly written names wh-ich represented, as far as could be known, the descendants of the sixteen children of James Balfour. Perhaps those who helped them to fill -in this tale of descen­ dants may now be glad to learn what we know of the common ancestors. It is in this hope that I have tried to piece together all the £nformation which my fat her and mother sought out, added to what f amity records are contained in the Piing archives themselves. It has been a pleasant task, in the course of which all the help I have asked for from the members of the family has been cordially given. And it is with real gratitude that I acknowledge first that of my s-ister, and, w-ith much apprec£at£on, the -invaluable azd of my cousins, S£r James Balfour Paul, Walter Bla£k£e, and Graham Balfour, to whose expert advice, given ungrudg·ingly, th£s history owes nzuch of what accuracy and trustworthiness it may possess.

PREFACE AND DEDICATION In so small a volume it would be somewhat hopeless to attempt an exhaustive notice of R. L. Stevenson, nor would it be desirable. The only possible full biography of him will be the Life in preparation by his intimate friend Mr Sidney Colvin, and for it his friends and his public look eagerly. This little book is only a remini- scence and an appreciation by one who, in the old days between 1869 and 1880, knew him and his home circle well. My earlier and later knowledge has been derived from his mother and those other members of his mother's family with whom it was a pleasure to talk of him, and to exchange news of his sayings and doings. In the actual writing of this volume, I have received most kind help for which I return grateful thanks to the givers. For the verification of dates and a few other particulars I am indebted to Mr Colvin's able article in the Dictionary of National Biography. It is dedicated, in the first instance, to the memory 6 PREFACE AND DEDICATION of Mr and Mrs Thomas Stevenson and their son, and, in the second, to all the dearly prized friends of the Balfour connection who have either, like the household at 1 7 Heriot Row, passed into the ' Silent Land,' or who are still here to gladden life with their friendship.

These diaspora in turn exercise real political and cultural power across the Anglophone world. Yet this characteristic of these two Celtic peoples was a direct consequence of the politics of place in the homeland. Both Ireland and Scotland had, and continue to have, a contested relationship to the divisions and subdivisions, the management and improvement of the agricultural land which they inhabit. The Great Famine and the Clearances attest to that. This issue of the Journal of Irish and Scottish Studies brings together a set of occasional papers which refl ect on the complex weave of migration and the politics of land since the nineteenth century.

  • Robert Louis Stevenson A, H, Japp
    ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON, BY A. H. JAPP PREFACE A FEW words may here be allowed me to explain one or two points. First, about the facsimile of last page of Preface to FAMILIAR STUDIES OF MEN AND BOOKS. Stevenson was in Davos when the greater portion of that work went through the press. He felt so much the disadvantage of being there in the circumstances (both himself and his wife ill) that he begged me to read the proofs of the Preface for him. This illness has record in the letter from him (pp. 28- 29). The printers, of course, had directions to send the copy and proofs of the Preface to me. Hence I am able now to give this facsimile. With regard to the letter at p. 19, of which facsimile is also given, what Stevenson there meant is not the "three last" of that batch, but the three last sent to me before - though that was an error on his part - he only then sent two chapters, making the "eleven chapters now" - sent to me by post. Another point on which I might have dwelt and illustrated by many instances is this, that though Stevenson was fond of hob-nobbing with all sorts and conditions of men, this desire of wide contact and intercourse has little show in his novels - the ordinary fibre of commonplace human beings not receiving much celebration from him there; another case in which his private bent and sympathies received little illustration in his novels. But the fact lies implicit in much I have written.

    PUBLISHED FAMILY HISTORIES [Over the years The Fife Family History Society Journal has reviewed many published Fife family histories. We have gathered them all together here, and will add to the file as more become available. Many of the family histories are hard to find, but some are still available on the antiquarian market. Others are available as Print on Demand; while a few can be found as Google books] GUNDAROO (1972) By Errol Lea-Scarlett, tells the story of the settlement of the Township of Gundaroo in the centre of the Yass River Valley of NSW, AUS, and the families who built up the town. One was William Affleck (1836-1923) from West Wemyss, described as "Gundaroo's Man of Destiny." He was the son of Arthur Affleck, grocer at West Wemyss, and Ann Wishart, and encourged by letters from the latter's brother, John (Joseph Wiseman) Wishart, the family emigrated to NSW late in October 1854 in the ship, "Nabob," with their children, William and Mary, sole survivors of a family of 13, landing at Sydney on 15 February 1855. The above John Wishart, alias Joseph Wiseman, the son of a Fife merchant, had been convicted of forgery in 1839 and sentenced to 14 years transportation to NSW. On obtaining his ticket of leave in July 1846, he took the lease of the Old Harrow, in which he established a store - the "Caledonia" - and in 1850 added to it a horse-powered mill at Gundaroo some 18 months later. He was the founder of the family's fortunes, and from the 1860s until about 1900 the Afflecks owned most of the commercial buildings in the town.

A great mystery storyBy TheCountofMonteCristoHaving been a fan of this since I was a kid, I was looking forward to this Campfire adaptation and I was certainly not dissapointed. As another review mentioned, the stronger aspects of this plot have been retained, making this a much stronger version of the story.The main character, David Balfour, really suffers in Campfire's adaptation and that makes his mission all the more important and his revenge all the more justified. All though Kidnapped is not as well known as Treasure Island, for me the book is fascinating due to the landscape of the Scottish isles.The artwork is interesting and makes a nice change from the clean lines of Marvel and DC, it also complements the story well. If you like mystery stories, then this is one to order. Being memoirs of the adventures of David Balfour in the year 1751: how he was kidnapped and cast away; his sufferings in a desert isle; his journey in the wild highlands; his acquaintance with Alan Breck Stewart and other notorious highland Jacobites; with all that he suffered at the hands of his uncle, Ebenezer Balfour of Shaws, falsely so called.

  • Use of Australian Hardwoods in Heavy Structures in Southern New Zealand
    Use of Australian Hardwoods in Heavy Structures in Southern New Zealand. Lloyd Smith, BE DipGrad MSc MIPENZ IPENZ Engineering Heritage Otago Chapter, Dunedin, New Zealand. SUMMARY Before human settlement, New Zealand was mostly covered in forest which included large softwood and semi- hardwood trees. Early settlers, both Maori and Pakeha (European), used these readily accessible local resources for housing, defences, canoes and ships, cooking and heating. However, despite this apparent wealth of indigenous timber, Australian hardwoods were imported for heavy engineering structures for gold mining, transport, harbours, agricultural processing and other industries. Why was this? Was it because of costs, including shipping from Australia compared to New Zealand sources? Was it two-way trade with kauri exported to Australia? Or was it better structural timber, more durable, stronger and more resistant to rot and insect or worm attack? The paper mainly covers the period between the gold rushes of 1860s and the great depression of 1929... a time when many heavy structures were built in southern New Zealand with Australian hardwoods. These include Central Otago gold stamper batteries; gold dredges; the Clifden and other suspension bridges (stiffening truss), Oamaru harbour wharf structures; and the Port Craig viaducts. Uses and needs of such structures have changed over the last 100 years or so, determined by finite life cycles, deterioration, redundancy and neglect as they no longer meet changing standards or are uneconomic to maintain. Some structures have been lost, others are under threat but some are recognised for their heritage value or adapted for other uses. Less new timber is imported now for these purposes, but there is still a need to maintain many existing structures or restore others for ongoing use or for heritage purposes.

Quiller-Couch, Lord Rose- bery, Leslie Stephen, L Zangwill, etc. BY J/ A. HAMMERTON A NEW AND REVISED EDITION WITH FORTY ILLUSTRATIONS EDINBURGH: JOHN GRANT 31 GEORGE IV. BRIDGE 1910 INTRODUCTION TO NEW EDITION On the publication of the library edition of this work it met with a gratifying reception from the critical press of England and America and from Stevensonians on both sides of the Atlantic. Indeed, out of some scores of reviews there were but three in any sense adverse, and each of these was so whole-heartedly abusive that it indicated the hand of a prejudiced critic. As one of these suspiciously intemperate articles appeared in a provincial journal more notable for its football reports than for literary opinion, it were waste of time to notice it. But, were I so minded, I might furnish forth—and in due time, perhaps, I shall—an instructive chapter on the ethics of reviewing, based chiefly on the other two unpleasantly personal attacks. It is far from my wish to involve in a literary controversy any work that is associated, however unworthily, with the name of R. L. Stevenson. But I shall permit myself the remark, that if within this book I have enclosed a considerable area whereon a certain gentle- man had promised himself to build, and if the bare idea of it received the disapproval of another, it would only have been in accord with good taste had both refrained from availing themselves of the opportunities of anonymous journalism to abuse it when it issued from the press.
