Modern Athenians; a Series of Original Portraits of Memorable Citizens of Edinburgh

Pages : 56
Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ... robert scott moncrieff, Esq., Of Pitliver. william henry murray, Esq., Theatre Royal. the placing of these two gentlemen on one plate together was the most natural arrangement that could be adopted, for they were inseparable friends and associates about this period, and for a quarter century before; although no stranger happening to meet them walking gravely along with arms linked together, could have conceived one of them to be a comedian of the most finished excellence. Robert Scott Moncrieff, whose age at this time we would suppose to have been over seventy, had resided during many years at No. 17 Leopold Place, while his friend of the Theatre Royal had his residence in Windsor Street immediately adjoining. He was then a widower, and the beautiful portrait of his deceased wife--a well-known masterpiece by Raeburn, now in our Scottish National Gallery--then hung on the wall of his dining-room. We are ignorant of his pedigree, and even of the exact date of his death, the press-obituaries having in vain been searched for the latter; but his name disappeared first from the City Directory at Whitsunday 1848. His is styled "of Pitliver," in the list of Crombie's Modern Athenians, and in so far as age is concerned might have been the father of his namesake "of Fossoway," who passed as an Advocate in 1816, and died at Dalkeith Park on 18th June 1869, while he held the office of Chamberlain to the Duke of Buccleuch. So early as in 1812 and onwards we find the name of Robert Scott Moncrieff given in the almanacs as Treasurer to the Society of Scottish Antiquaries; and in 1830 the same gentleman seems to be designed as "Old Dean of Guild, 297 High Street." These notes will suffice, together with the portraiture itself, to identify the gentleman...
