Lord Fife and His Factor
Selections from over 20,000 letters written from London by Lord Fife to his Factor ("doer"or agent) in Scotland, William Rose, who carefully preserved all the letters. Although Lord Fife's eighty years (1729-1809) were all lived under two sovereigns B thirty-one years in the reign of George II, and forty-nine in that of George III, yet he linked up three distinct political and literary ages. When he was born, Steele, Sterne, Defoe, Gay, Swift, Pope, and Bolingbroke were still living; Johnson was only twenty years, Chatham twenty-one, and Horace Walpole twelve years older than he. Among his contemporaries and friends were Burke, Reynolds, Goldsmith, Garrick, the younger Pitt, Henry Dundas, Clive, Warren Hastings, Lord North, and Charles, Lord Stanhope. Nelson, Napoleon, and Wellington were all born while he was in middle life. When he was becoming an old man, Carlyle and Maccaulay were born, and Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey, Scott, and Byron rose to fame, while 1809, the year of his death was that of the births of Alfred Tennyson, Edward FitzGerald, and Gladstone. He wrote much more naturally and in less stilted language than most men of his time.
The Jacobite Cess Roll for the County of Aberdeen in 1715
This is a publication of the Third Spalding Club using available documents in Aberdeen and Edinburgh. It includes genealogical tables taken from information in the Valuation of the County in 1667. Included is information on the one synod, eight presbyteries (Kincardine, Garioch, Alford, Deer, Ellon, Turriff, Strathbogie, Aberdeen, and Church Lands), and ninety-seven parishes that make up the county. Biographical details are given in the case of every individual mentioned, as far as possible, with his or her progenitors and immediate descendants; besides any interesting historical or personal events in which they took part, and occasional longer accounts, especially where these can be drawn from unpublished or not easily available sources." A few historical notes are added dealing with the state of the country at the period covered by this document, which was a time of great political and religious ferment in Scotland. Four portraits, a map of the Shires of Aberdeen and Banff (1826), Notes on the Contra of the Account, Notes on the Cess Roll, a bibliography and an index to full-names, places and subjects add to the value of this work.
