was otherwise when he had to solicit for a friend; then he was the most persevering and importunate of suitors. His professional learning was rather extensive than profound. But if he did not carry about with him, on all occa sions, that minute acquaintance with the fontes juris, and with the authorities of municipal law, which so eminently distinguish some of his brethren, no one knew better where to find whatever in formation was wanting on the law of a case; nor, when found, was better able to apply it powerfully and effectively. The task of preparing written plead ings, was, after a few years of laborious practice, always irksome to him. But his papers rarely bore the marks of the distaste with which they were prepared. They generally consisted of a concise and clear statement of the facts, in which nothing was omitted that bore upon the issue; while circumstances which appeared to him superfluous were unsparingly rejected. His argument was clearly, concisely, and often elegantly stated; and his authorities, in cases of law, were always apt and weighty. His own inclination, however, led him to prefer the other branch of his profession-that of viva voce pleadings. As a debater, his elocution was just and correct; his diction was fluent and copious, often vehement, often eloquent. In cases which particular ly affected his own feelings, he has seldom been excelled in pathetic and vigo rous declamation. His address to the jury, on behalf of Dr Cahill, tried in 1812, for killing a brother officer in a duel, will long be remembered as a striking specimen of forensic eloquence. It has already been mentioned, that, from the period of his academical educa tion, he devoted himself to the cultivation of classical and polite literature. To these pursuits he constantly returned, as often as the vacations of the Court, or other occasional intervals of leisure, afforded him opportunities. Although he never appeared before the world as an author, yet his literary character is not undeserving of a separate notice. The value of his opinions upon literary subjects was duly appreciated by those distinguished friends who have added so much lustre to the literary reputation of Edinburgh. His critical judgments were sometimes fastidious, but always correct. His taste was refined by constant exercise in the study of the best ancient and modern authors; and if he could have overcome his constitutional diffidence, and his extreme dislike of subjecting himself to the annoyance of invidious criticism, he might have taken his place as an original author with the most eminent of his literary friends. With the Muses he was not unacquainted. A very brief specimen of his powers as a poet has found its way to the press, and may serve to show what he might have accomplished in poetry, had his leisure and inclination permitted. This is his "Additional Stanzas to Collins's Ode on the Superstitions of the Highlands," which has been pronounced by high authority to be altogether worthy of the beautiful, though imperfect poem, to which they have been attached. While the authorship of "The Bridal of Trier, main" remained a secret, Mr Erskine enjoyed the almost undivided reputation of its author. That secret has long been disclosed. His connexion with the work consisted, it is believed, in contributing the preface, and writing the observations upon it in the Quarterly Review. Lord Kinedder was in person of middle stature, and well, though not strongly made. His complexion was fair, with light eyes, and uncommonly pleasing fea tures, which expressed at once the vivacity of talent, and the kindliness of affection. In general society, he was rather reserved and silent: but, in more select circles, few brought so much to be enjoyed, none came more willing to be delighted. As his own manners were uncommonly correct, he was almost fastidiously intolerant of the slightest breach of propriety in others, and would not allow even the ignorance or inexperience of the party offending to be a sufficient excuse for the least indecorum. But no person could be entirely acquainted with the character of Lord Kinedder, who had not frequently seen him in the bosom of his family. It was in that sanctuary of the heart that his amiable qualities were indeed most conspicuous. It was his happy lot that the partner of his affections possessed tastes, and feelings, and talents, exactly congenial with his own; and it was delightful for those who habitually enjoyed their domestic society, to see them at one time indulging in those intellectual gratifications which were so dear to both, and at another devoting themselves to the moral education of a young and promising family. She, alas! was too soon taken from him. But this bereavement only bound him the more closely to his children. From that time he felt little happiness except in their society; and the reveverential and affectionate fondness with which they listened to his counsels, always appeared to bestow as much of enjoyment upon the fond father as human nature is capable of receiving.

At Trincomalee, after a short illness, of fever, caught in the zealous discharge of his duty, in the Royal Naval Hospital there, Wm. Boyd, Esq. M.D. Dr Boyd had been a surgeon of the Royal Navy for upwards of 20 years. He had retired from the service on the breaking up, at the close of the late war, of the Royal Naval Establishment at Port Mahon, where he had acted, not only as surgeon, but also as Government agent, for several years, having been specially selected for that important situation by Admiral the Right Hon. Lord Exmouth, then commanding his. Majesty's fleet in the Mediterranean. When Rear Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry Blackwood, Bart. was some years ago appointed Commander in Chief of the British naval force in India, this distinguished officer prevailed on Dr Boyd to accompany him to that station, as his chief medical officer, and on arriving there, Dr Boyd was appointed to the charge of the naval hospital, where he contracted the disease which has thus deprived the country of his professional services. Dr Boyd was modest and unassuming, an excellent scholar, of which his writings bear ample proof, and was highly esteemed för his professional abilities, and for strict honour and integrity. An officer of high rank, by whom the melancholy intelligence of his death has been communicated, states, "that his loss was most universally deplored, more particularly by the Commander in Chief, with whom he had been for years intimately connected."

At Whitefield, Peebles-shire, at the age of 82, James M'Dougal, farmer. His first outset in life was as ploughman to the late William Dawson, Esq. of Frogden, the father of the improved system of husbandry in Scotland, who, after a regular apprenticeship in Norfolk, commenced his farming operations upon a large scale, in the neighbourhood of Kelso, about the middle of last century. In the agricultural report of Roxburghshire, by the late Rev. Dr Douglas, it is stated, in justice to M'Dougal, at the particular desire of Mr Dawson, that M Dougal was the first ploughman in Scotland, that drew a straight turnip drill with a two horse plough, without a driver. After being farm overseer to Mr Dawson for fourteen years, during which time he had the charge of the apprentices who came from various parts of Scotland to Mr Dawson for instruction, he, in the year 1778, took on lease a small farm in the neighbourhood of West Linton, in Peebles-shire, where his example, as that of a farmer paying rent, and acting at his own risk, had an immediate and effec tual influence as to the ready adoption and rapid diffusion of the turnip and artificial grass farming, among the practical farmers all around, as particularly stated in the agricultural report of Peeblesshire. After bringing up to a fitness for decently settling in life a numerous family, he retired upon a competency, the fruit of his own industry. His strong rough sense and sound judgment made him to be much esteemed by the country gentlemen, notwithstanding a manner rather blunt and uncourtly. Such, indeed, was the general opinion of his sound sense and integrity, that in matters of reference as to country business, he was often fixed upon by both parties as sole arbiter. His attention to his religious duties was unostentatious, and altogether free from either superstition or enthusiasm. Possessed of a friendly, cheerful, and con tented disposition, and of great command of temper, he passed through life easily and happily, enjoying it to the end, when he met with what he wished a speedy dissolution-being cut off by an apoplectic stroke. Sept. 17. At Whitfield, Peebles-shire, Mr J. M'Dougal, farmer, aged 85. At Jedburgh, Mr George Borthwick, merchant there, aged 84 years, deeply and justly regretted. Mr Borthwick carried on a respectable business in the same shop for upwards of sixty years, during which period he frequently filled the office of a Magistrate in the Burgh, and was, at the time of his death, the father of the Town Council. 18. At Edinburgh, William Pollock, Esq. of Whitehall, late of his Majesty's 60th regiment. -At her house, 15, St. Patrick Square. Mrs Elizabeth Greig, widow of Mr James Greig, writer in Edinburgh. 19. At the head of Bruntsfield Links, Edinburgh, Mr David Home Buchan, after a long and severe illness. -At Edinburgh, Thomas Jeremiah Smith, only son of Jeremiah Kirby, M. D. -At Hammersmith, the Countess of Dundonald, daughter of Francis Plowden, Esq. Barrister at Law. -At No. 1, Forth Street, Mrs Amelia Nimmo, wife of Robert Carnegy, Esq. M. D. surgeon in Edinburgh. -At Brechin, Mr Thomas Jamieson, vinter, in the 80th year of his age. 20. At Musselburgh, Dundas Robertson, Esq. late of Jamaica. 21.

At his Villa, near Clontarf, Viscount Frankfort de Montmorency, one of His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council. His Lordship is sheceeded in his titles and esates by his son, Lodge Raymond, a minor. 22. Joanna, aged 22, eldest daughter of Mr Sent, Royal Navy, Superintendant of the Queensferry passage. -At Dumfries, Thomas Boyd, Esq. -At Glenalbert, on the estate of Dalguise. Perthshire, in her hundredth year, Mrs Margaret Low, widow of the late James Steuart, Esq. of Tulloch, near Blair. Her husband was a captain in one of the Atholl regiments, under Lord George Murray, and carried the royal standard of Prance Charles Edward, at the battle of Colloden in 1746. Of that unfortunate Prince, Mrs Steuart had s most perfect recollection, and, till within a few days of her death, spoke with the fondness of long cherished reminiscence, and with the accuracy of a mind and memory perfectly entire, of his dress, manner, and appearance. It was at Dunkeld, on his way to Edinburgh, in September 1745, that she had seen the Prince, and presented a pair of brogues to his Royal Highness, of which (to her) momentous occurrence she had a complete membrance. After the forfeiture of Mr Steuart's estate, he retired to the village of Glenalbert, and died there in 1807, at the advanced age of ninetysix. His widow continued to occupy the same humble cottage, and to live in respected retire ment, on the small part of their fortune, which had been saved, until the day of her death. As few, if any, now living, can relate, from personal observation, the occurrences of 1745, it is probable that this may have been one of the last re maining links of connection with a past age and generation. 23. At Edinburgh, Mr James Thynne, surgeon, R. N. -At St Andrew's, the Rev. Dr William Crawford, Professor of Moral Philosophy in the University there. -At Leith, Mrs Ann Henderson, relict of Mr Alexander Henderson, merchant. 24.

S. -At Annan, John Rudford, Esq. aged 81. J. Ruthven & Sons, Printers. |
