[1] It may be convenient to set down in a note a list of Campbell’s brothers and sisters, with dates of birth and death. The details are from the family Bible: Mary, 1757-1843; Isabella, 1758-1837; Archibald, 1760-1830; Alexander, 1761-1826; John, 1763-1806; Elizabeth, 1765-1829; Daniel, 1767-1767; Robert, 1768-1807; James, 1770-1783; Daniel, 1773-? Archibald and Robert went to Virginia, and John to Demerara.

[2] As these sheets are passing through the press, Mr W. K. Leask reminds me of Aytoun’s visit to the Scottish Monastery as recorded in the ‘Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers.’ And of course the reference in ‘Redgauntlet’ is well known.
