Few persons have enjoyed such a length of happy days in this world, and few have been so well prepared for receiving an ever-during inheritance in Heaven, than this amiable and excellent woman. She died in the most calm and collected manner, retaining the enjoyment of her mental faculties almost to the very last. It is believed she was the oldest inhsbitant of Edinburgh, and was born and brought up here, as well as her ancestors for many generations. In 1745, after witnessing the reception of the Pretender at Holyrood House, she was struck with a mus..et ball fired from the Castle, while carrying her eldest son, who bore her head to the grave, and who is now one of our oldest, and, we may add, most intelligent and respected citizens. 20.

His remains were conveyed to the grave by a number of his clan, of which there was present of his own scendants, a number more than sufficient for that purpose. At Bath, Sir Henry White, K.C.B.
