Excerpt from The Matriculation Albums of the University of Glasgow: From 1728-1858 William Innes Addison was born in the parish of Brechin in Forfarshire on 2zud March, 1857. Although he was the eldest son of the family, he did not take to his father's occupation of farming, for, after his school-days were over, led by some dim feeling or presentiment of what was needed for his future work, he became, at the age of fourteen, an articled apprentice to Messrs. Shiress Whitson, solicitors in Brechin, with whom he spent four years engaged in the usual routine Of elementary work in a law office. The next four years saw him in Edinburgh, gaining fruitful experience in business and in the study of Law at the University. In July, 1875, he joined the staff in the Office of Mr. A. Kirk Mackie, who was for many years Solicitor and Secretary to the Edinburgh Merchant Company, with its Schools and Colleges, and Legal Adviser with regard to the Company's Estates. During the first eighteen months he was employed in general work, including conveyancing, accounts and correspondence, and in preparing Abstracts of the Feu Rights contained in many volumes of Chartularies, extending over 150 years, and referring to feuing estates in at least five different counties in Scotland. He was afterwards appointed chief cashier, and in this capacity had from to per annum passing through his hands. This included the collection of the income of the Merchant Company and several of its endowed Schools and Colleges, and the payment of Salaries to Teachers, allowances to Foundationers, and annuities to Widows, besides large capital payments for loans, purchases of property, and banking transactions. In the stress Of these onerous duties he did not allow his attention to be absorbed by the details of business, but showed a desire to obtain a grasp of the principles of his profession. With this view, hard pressed though he was in his daily work, he found time for study, and attended the classes of Scots Law and Conveyancing, gaining Honours in the latter. In 1879 he removed to Glasgow and entered the chambers of Messrs. James Ritchie, Maclean Co. With this firm and their successors he remained eight years, with entire charge of the Cash and Book-keeping departments, besides taking a substantial share in strictly law business and in the administration of numerous and wealthy Trusts. In this period some matters of special interest fall to be noted, viz. (1) his attendance at Arts Classes (humanity, English Literature, and Moral Philosophy) between 1880 and 1884; (2) his admission as a Notary Public in 1881; and (3) his marriage in 1885.

The Scottish Enlightenment was a period of intellectual and scientific progress, in a country previously considered to be marginal to the European intellectual scene. Yet the enlightenment was not about politeness or civic humanism, but something more basic - the making of an improved society which could compete in every way in a rapidly changing world. David Hume, writing in 1752, commented that 'industry, knowledge and humanity are linked together by an indissoluble chain'. Collectively this volume of essays embraces many of the topics which Hume included under 'industry, knowledge and humanity': from the European Enlightenment and the Scots relation to it, to Scottish social history and its relation to religion, science and medicine. Overarching themes of what it meant to be enlightened in the eighteenth century are considered alongside more specific studies of notable figures of the period, such as Archibald Campbell, 3rd Duke of Argyll, and David Hume, and the training and number of Scottish medical students. Together, the volume provides an opportunity to step back and reconsider the Scottish Enlightenment in its broader context and to consider what new directions this field of study might take.

These include a glossary and list of abbreviations, a list of family history societies in South-West Scotland, bibliographies of family histories and local histories concerned with South Western Scotland, and a general bibliography. Anyone daring enough to search out the Scottish origins of his/her Ulster heritage will be grateful to immigration authority David Dobson for having plotted a course.

This book describes the life and achievements of the eighteenth-century Scottish physician William Hunter and outlines the history of the Museum named after him. William Hunter built up a wide-ranging private collection at his home in London, encompassing not only anatomical and pathological specimens related to his medical work, but also books and manuscripts, coins and medals, natural history specimens and artworks. On his death in 1783 he bequeathed the collection to the University of Glasgow where he had long ago been a student, and money to construct a Museum which opened in 1807. The book utilises a wide range of source material, much of it previously unpublished, to tell the story of the Museum's development, the many subsequent additions to its holdings and, more recently, the construction of a new Hunterian Art Gallery which houses not only Hunter's own collection but also numerous works be James McNeill Whistler and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The Museum is celebrating its bicentenary in 2007.There is a foreward contributed by Sir Kenneth Calman, Chancellor of the University of Glasgow, and formerly Government Chief Medical Officer and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Durham
