Clarence Harold Wilkinson
PHOTO (courtesy x) Clarence Harold Wilkinson (1864-1922) was born 5 September 1864 to Alexander and Jane Wilkinson in West Maitland, NSW, where he attended the public school and sat junior examinations in 1880. In August 1881 Clarence sought employment with the City of Sydney as an articled pupil. By December 1881 the City’s Finance Committee recommended the appointment of Wilkinson in the City Architect's Department, noting he had completed three months' trial, with an annotation of commendation by T.H. Sapsford, the City Architect. By December 1884, having completed his articles, Wilkinson was placed on the staff as a draftsman with a salary of £125 p.a.. Clarence was a first prize winner in architecture at Sydney Technical College in recognition of studies during 1884. Wilkinson occupied some of his spare time as a member of the volunteer services, acting as a second lieutenant by 1884, and promoted to first lieutenant in 1888. By 1888 Wilkinson was the assistant city architect and building surveyor to the Municipality of Sydney, but he resigned in mid-1889. Clarence advertised with his brother Lancelot Alexander Wilkinson in the Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser from October 1899 as ‘Wilkinson & Wilkinson, Architects and Licensed Surveyors’, having offices in Sydney, Newcastle and West Maitland. With poor economic conditions in late 1890, Clarence abandoned his efforts on the east coast and soon travelled to the other side of Australia, seeking greater opportunities. Wilkinson joined the Western Australian Public Works Department (PWD) in Perth, working on a number of railway buidings. He resigned from the PWD at the end of June 1892, and after a few years as a sole practitioner, entered into partnership with E.H. -

An inquiry into the life of George Wishart presented few attractions. Believing that he claimed the gift of prophecy, Mr Hill Burton * describes him as " a visionary." Mr Froudef charges him with preaching without authority and with illegally assuming the priestly office. Professor Lorimer| alleges that, in his early ministry, he denied the doctrine of the Atonement. Mr Tytler§ has sought to prove that he intended murder, by conspiring against the life of Cardinal Beaton. Having ventured on the elucidation of his history, I have investigated the charges brought against him, with care and, I trust, impartiality. The result will be found in these pages. Meanwhile I may summarise my deductions, and say that the martyr has, from the inquiry, come forth unstained. He did not claim prophetic powers ; he preached with canonical sanction ; he did not act as a priest or ordained clergyman ; he taught the doctrine of the Atonement through- out his whole ministry ; he did not conspire against Beaton, and if he knew of the conspiracy he condemned it. -

With downcast eyes and heaviness day Presbyterians was an integral part of our early of heart, the assembled leaders silently reflect upon spiritual heritage.

It could have a ‘lowde quhissilling’ or a ‘softe piping’; could blow in ‘bubbys thik’ or ‘brethfull blastis’. Its rumbling ‘ventositeis’ could be ‘busteous’ or ‘swyft’ or ‘swouchand’. On the open water, it could ‘dyng’ or ‘swak’ or ‘quhirl’ around a ship; could come ‘thuddand doun’ or ‘brayand’ or ‘wysnand’. At times it could have a ‘confortabill inspiratioun’, and nourish the fields, but more typically it could serve as a harsh leveller, ‘Dasyng the blude in euery creatur’.1 Such winds are whipped up across the landscapes and dreamscapes of Douglas’s surviving poetry, and attest to the extraordinary copiousness of his naturalism. The alliterative tradition was alive and well in sixteenth century Scotland, but as Douglas himself explained, he could also call upon ‘Sum bastard Latyn, French or Inglys’ usages to further enrich ‘the langage of Scottis natioun’.2 Douglas’s translation of Virgil’s Aeneid (1513) has itself occasioned a few blasts of hot air. John Ruskin described it as ‘one of the most glorious books ever written by any nation in any language’ and would often mention Douglas in the same breath as Dante.3 Ezra Pound breezily declared that the Eneados was ‘better than the original, as Douglas had heard the sea’,4 while T.S. -

Genealogical History of the House of Wishart
MEMOIR OF GEORGE WISHART. 329 GENEALOGICAL HISTORY OF THE HOUSE OF WISHART. NlSBET's statement as to the family of Wishart having derived descent from Robert, an illegitimate son of David, Earl of Huntingdon, who was styled Guishart on account of his heavy slaughter of the Saracens, is an evident fiction.* The name Guiscard, or Wiscard, a Norman epithet used to designate an adroit or cunning person, was conferred on Robert Guiscard, son of Tancrede de Hauterville of Nor- mandy, afterwards Duke of Calabria, who founded the king- dom of Sicily. This noted warrior died on the 27th July 1085. His surname was adopted by a branch of his House, and the name became common in Normandy and throughout France. Guiscard was the surname of the Norman kings of Apulia in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. John Wychard is mentioned as a small landowner in the Hundred de la Mewe, Buckinghamshire, in the reign of Henry III. (I2i6-i272)/1- During the same reign and that of Edward I. (1272-1307), are named as landowners, Baldwin Wyschard or Wistchart, in Shropshire; Nicholas Wychard, in Warwickshire ; Hugh Wischard, in Essex; and William Wischard, in Bucks.j In the reign of Edward I. Julian Wye- chard is named as occupier of a house in the county of Oxford.§ A branch of the House of Wischard obtained lands in Scotland some time prior to the thirteenth century. John Wischard was sheriff of Kincardineshire in the reign of Alexander II. (1214-1249). In an undated charter of this monarch, Walter of Lundyn, and Christian his wife, grant to the monks of Arbroath a chalder of grain, " pro sua frater- nitate," the witnesses being John Wischard, " vicecomes de • Nisbet's System of Heraldry, Edin., 1816, folio, vol.
