A Group
of Scottish Women
Lady Anne Barnard (1750 -
Scotland has probably
produced a greater number of popular songs than any other country, with
the exception perhaps of Germany. The picturesque character of the
scenery, the dramatic simplicity of peasant life, the mellifluous music of
the dialect, combine to clothe the romantic ballads of the north with an
atmosphere of pathos, of grace and humour, which cannot be surpassed or
rivalled south of the Border. Of the many ballads to which I refer,
several of the best known and the most popular are the work of Scottish
women. Sir Walter Scott, in one of his letters, gives several instances of
these:- Flowers of the Forest, by Miss Elliot of Minto; An were na my
heart licht, I wad dee, by Lady Grisell Baillie; Lady Elizabeth Wardlaws
ballad of Hardyknute; I have seen the smiling of fortune beguiling,
written by Mrs. Cockburn to the same air that inspired Miss Elliot; and
lastly, Auld Robin Gray, by Lady Anne Lindsay. To these the novelist
might well have added the two ballads composed by Miss Oliphant of the
Auld Hoose of Gask afterwards Lady Nairne The Laird o Cockpen and
The Land o the Leal, whose genuine charm and humour still survive the
passage of years. Place Auld Robin at the head of this list, says Sir
Walter, and I question if we masculine wretches can claim five or six
songs equal in eloquence and pathos out of the long lists of Scottish
minstrelsy. It may, therefore, be of interest to note the circumstances
under which the most famous of these songs was written, and to make the
acquaintance of its author.
The characteristics
peculiar to each of the great national families of Scotland have been
described from time immemorial by the alliterative epithets which
tradition has affixed to their names. Thus we read of the gay Gordons,
the doughty Douglasses, the gallant Grahams, the haughty Hamiltons,
the handsome Hays, the mucklemoued Murrays, and the light Lindsays.
[Cf. From the greed of
the Campbells,
From the ire of
the Drummonds,
From the pride
of the Grahams,
From the wind of
the Murrays,
Good Lord
deliver us!]
Of these, by no means the
least interesting is the light-hearted family of Lindsays, whose name
appears in Doomsday Book, and whose history supplies a chapter of romance
worthy of the pen of a Stevenson or a Balzac.
Lady Anne Lindsay, the
author of Auld Robin Gray, was the daughter of James Lindsay, 5th
Earl of Balcarres, by his wife Anne, daughter of Sir Robert Dalrymple of
Castleton. She was the eldest of a family of ten, and was born at
Balcarres, on the Fifeshire coast, in the year 1750. Her father was an
accomplished gentleman as well as an intrepid soldier. In the famous
rising of 1715 he fought in the Stuart cause, but later on was wise enough
to stifle his private feelings for the sake of his countrys welfare, and
served with gallantry in the army of George II. at Dettingen and Fontenoy.
At heart he was ever a Jacobite, a fact which he found some difficulty in
reconciling with the habits of a Whig. He could not always conceal his
partisanship for the Stuarts, and was inclined on every possible occasion
to expatiate upon the beauties and the wrongs of Mary, Queen of Scots, and
deplore the union of the two crowns of England and Scotland. He was,
however, affirm believer in the old Jacobite adage that when war is at
hand, though it were shame to be on any side save one, it were more shame
to be idle than on the worse side, though blacked than rebellion could
make it. At Sheriffmuir he had led his three famous troops of
gentlemen-rankers, who fought as common soldiers for the Pretender and
routed double their number of the Kings dragoons. But when subsequently
pardoned, he was willing to accept an English commission in the Scots
Greys, in which regiment he conspicuously distinguished himself on several
The Lindsays were all born
soldiers. Lady Annes brother James suffered the unique experience of
being struck at the battle of Ticonderoga in 1777 by thirteen bullets, of
which all but one passed through his clothes without injuring him. Another
brother, John, was taken prisoner by Hyder Ali in 1780, and confined at
Seringapatam, together with Captain (afterwards Sir David) Baird, the son
of Mrs. Baird of Newbyth. [When the news of her sons capture was
broken to this ruthless of lady, and it was stated that the captive
officers had been chained together, two and two, Lord pity the chiel
thats chained to our Davy! was her now celebrated comment.]
Alexander, the predecessor of James, Earl of Balcarres, and uncle to Lady
Anne Lindsay, anticipated by a couple of centuries the famous remark of an
English Statesman, [The late Viscount Goschen.] who, at the time of
the Fenian riots, when asked by a terrified colleague, What are we to
do? answered at once, Do? Why, make our wills and do our duty! He was
in command of a small body of troops besieging a town in Flanders in 1707,
and was being threatened by a superior force. On his determining to
persevere in the siege, a timid subordinate inquired anxiously, What are
we to retire upon? Upon Heaven! replied the earl.
Lady Annes father, Lord
Balcarres, was something of a philosopher, a man of large impulses and
generous instincts, and universally popular in his own countryside. At one
time a number of robberies had been committed in Fifeshire, and the
criminals were at length brought before the County Court. Why did you
never come to my house? asked Lord Balcarres. My lord, they replied,
we often did. Everywhere else we found closed doors, but at Balcarres
they stood always open, and where such is the case it is a rule among us
not to enter.
The story of Lord
Balcarres wooing is a romantic and curious one. When a comparatively
elderly man he fell desperately in love with Miss Dalrymple, a girl who
was forty years his junior, and who naturally declined the honour of his
hand. The rejected suitor thereupon tool to his bed, and became so ill
that his life was despaired of. He was well enough, however, to make a
will in which he left half his estate to the object of his choice. And
she, hearing of this remarkable bequest, first endured, then pitied, then
embraced, and so consented to marry the old earl, who at once recovered
his health with commendable promptitude.
Lady Balcarres is said to
have been a charming woman, high-spirited and vivacious, and it is rather
difficult to understand her reasons for accepting as a husband a man who
was very deaf, rather gouty, and quite old enough to be her father. It
must, however, be admitted that Lord Balcarres was a remarkable old
gentleman, something of a litterateur, noted for his courtesy, and
the very soul of chivalry. Lady Balcarres was a strict but devoted mother,
as her children testified, and that she could be a good friend was proved
by Sir Walter Scott, when as a shy youth he basked in her smiles at
parties or took shelter in her box at the theatre. [Familiar Letters of
Walter Scott, vol. i. p.228]
In the memoirs of her
family, which Lady Anne wrote, she has given an amusing account of her own
birth and of the events that immediately preceded it. There had long
existed, she says, a prophecy that the first child of the last
descendant of the house of Balcarres was to restore the family of Stuart
to those hereditary rights which the bigotry of James had deprived them
of. The Jacobites seemed to have gained new life on the occasion; the
wizards and witches of the party had found it in their books; the Devil
had mentioned it to one or two of his particular friends
Songs were made
by exulting Tories, masses were offered up by good Catholics, who longed
to see the Popes bull once more tossing his horns in the country. [Lives
of the Lindsays, vol. ii. p.301.] Judge then of the amazement and
dismay of the soothsayers, of the annoyance and astonishment of the
Pretenders partisans, when, on December 1, 1750, Lady Balcarres gave
birth to a daughter. No doubt the wizards burnt their books, the
Devils particular friends wished they had been a trifle more particular,
the Tories transposed the music of their songs to a minor key, and the
good Catholics regretted the masses they had expended so lavishly and with
such indifferent success. Lord and Lady Balcarres, however, welcomed the
arrival of their small daughter with suitable expressions of delight, and
their satisfaction was perhaps a matter of greater importance than the
disappointment of the Pretenders followers.
In the middle of the
eighteenth century the bringing up of children was a far sterner business
than it is nowadays. The discipline of the nursery was a severe one, and
the modern practice of sacrificing everything to the comfort and happiness
of the young would have been considered both sinful and foolish. Some idea
of the spirit of family life prevalent in those times may be gathered from
a letter written to a friend by Lady Strange, wife of the celebrated
engraver, in which she declares that her children, from the youngest to
the eldest, love her and fear her as sinners dread death. [Life of Sir
Robert Strange, by J. Dennistoun, vol. i. p.309.] And in the Life
of the first Lord Minto we read of the rigorous parental control which he,
in common with all the fathers of that date, exercised over his children,
and how, when one of his sons (Andrew, afterwards Governor of New York)
objected one day to boiled mutton at dinner, Let Mr. Andrew have boiled
mutton for breakfast, said the stern parent, and boiled mutton
for dinner, and boiled mutton for supper, till her has
learnt to like it! [Life and Letters of Gilbert Elliot, 1st
Earl of Minto, vol. i. p.22]
Lady Anne and her brothers
and sisters were kept in the most excellent order from earliest infancy.
Their mother, acting on the good old principle that children should be
seen but not heard, snubbed their heads of whenever they dared to open
their mouths. So strict was she, in fact, that old Lord Balcarres used now
and then to feel called upon to expostulate when he considered the
treatment meted out to his children a trifle too severe. The little
Lindsays of that age did not have as happy a childhood as do, no doubt,
the little Lindsays of to-day. And one fine morning, six of them, goaded
to insurrection, organised a dramatic flight by which they hoped to escape
once and for all from the tyranny of parental authority. The fugitives
were fortunately discovered by the old shepherd, Robin Gray, before they
had gone very far, and ignominiously carried back to the nursery, there to
be soundly dosed with tincture of rhubarb.
Lady Balcarres always
declared that she found her eldest daughter the most difficult child in
the world to punish. If Anne were sentenced to a diet of bread and water,
she ate it up contentedly and with apparent satisfaction. The crimes she
committed were never serious enough to deserve a whipping. (Had they been,
she would doubtless have behaved like that stoical child whose father
assured her that the corporal punishment he was inflicting hurt him far
more than it hurt her, and who at once brightened up and begged him to
continue the castigation without further regard for her feelings.) From
the accounts of Annes childhood, one would come to the conclusion that
she was either a very good little girl indeed, or else was particularly
successful in avoiding detection. In either case she deserves the fullest
While Lady Balcarres looked
after the discipline of her children, their education was relegated to the
care of a meek tutor name Small, who was assisted by a certain Miss
Henrietta Cumming, whom we have already mentioned in a previous chapter as
being an eccentric and hysterical creature of the decayed gentlewoman
class. This governess found a permanent and extremely comfortable home at
Balcarres. Here she gave instruction to the children, and spent her spare
time engaged in the Early Victorian pastime of ornamenting silk with
painted designs of birds and flowers. She presented a dress which she had
decorated in this fashion to Queen Charlotte, and in return received a
small pension. Henrietta shared the responsibility for bringing up Anne
and her sisters with another equally curious character, of whose influence
over the children she was always supremely jealous. Miss Sophia Johnstone
was the daughter of the laird of Hilton, a notorious debauchee, who did
not believe in giving his children the benefits of a proper education, but
allowed them to grow up ignorant and illiterate. She had arrived at
Balcarres on a visit at the time of the old earls marriage. Once
comfortably installed there, Sophia decided to prolong her stay
indefinitely. Here, then, she remained for thirteen years, during which
time she occupied herself in mothering the little Lindsays, quarrelling
with Henrietta, and making fancy horseshoes in a small forge which with
curious taste she had erected in her bedroom.
Of all her family Anne
seems to have been the most devoted to her sister Margaret, a girl of
singular accomplishments and beauty. [It was of her that Sheridan
Markd you her eye of
heavenly blue,
Markd you her cheek of
rosy hue;
That eye in liquid
circles roving,
That cheek abashed at
mans approving.
The one loves arrows
darting round,
The other blushing at
the wound.] It was soon after the latters
unfortunate marriage with Mr. Alexander Fordyce [Fordyce was a banker
who absconded, thereby ruining many unfortunate people. His brother, a
Presbyterian minister, married Miss Henrietta Cumming.] of Roehampton,
in 1771, that Anne wrote that charming ballad for which she is so justly
famous. In the absence of her favourite sister she was feeling depressed
and lonely, and sought comfort in the society of the Muse. The result was
a song which has become a veritable classic in the chronicles of Scottish
When the sheep are in the
fauld, when the cows come hame,
When a the weary world to
quiet rest are gane,
The woes of my heart fa in
showers frae my ee,
Unkend by my gudeman, who
soundly sleeps by me.
Young Jamie lovd me weel,
and sought me for his bride;
But saving ae crown-piece,
hed naething else beside.
To make the crown a pound,
my Jamie gaed to sea;
And the crown and the
pound, oh! they were baith for me.
Before he had been gone a
twelvemonth and a day,
My father broke his arm,
our cow was stown away;
My mother she fell sick
my Jamie was at sea
And Auld Robin Gray, oh! he
came a-courting me.
My father coudna work my
mother coudna spin;
I toild day and night, but
their bread I coudna win;
Auld Rob maintaind them
baith, and wi tears in his ee
Said, Jenny, oh! for their
sakes, will you marry me?
My heart it said na, and I
lookd for Jamie back;
But hard blew the winds,
and his ship was a wrack:
His ship was a wrack! Why
didna Jenny dee?
Or, wherefore am I spared
to cry out, Woe is me!
My father argued sair my
mother didna speak,
But she lookd in my face
till my heart was like to break;
They gied him my hand, but
my heart was in the sea,
And so Auld Robin Gray, he
was gudeman to me.
I hadna been his wife, a
week but only four,
When mournfu as I sat on
the stane at my door,
I saw my Jamies ghaist I

Till he said, Im come

O sair, sair did we greet,
and mickle say of a;
Ae kiss we took, nae mair
I bad him gang awa.
I wish that I were dead,
but Im no like to dee;
For O, I am but young to
cry out, Woe is me!
I gang like a ghaist, and I
carena much to spin;
I darena think o Jamie,
for that wad be a sin.
But I will do my best a
gude wife aye to be,
For Auld Robin Gray, oh! he
is sae kind to me.
The secret of writing a
song that shall outlive the passing fashion of an hour, and win for itself
and its author an eternal place in the memories and affections of men, is
one which it would be difficult to specify or to define. It seems to have
eluded the grasp of the great masters of English prosody, and revealed
itself alone to humbler bards such as Lady Anne Lindsay. One cannot
readily call to mind the name of any distinguished national poet with
the exception of Shakespeare and Robert Burns who has written songs that
can be truly said to have achieved immortality. The works of every
well-known poet, from Herrick to Tennyson and Browning, have been
ransacked to find suitable lyrics. But the result has never yet rivalled
in popularity such comparatively undistinguished ballads as The Last Rose
of Summer or Auld Robin Gray.
The literary merit of a
song is, after all, a matter of little consequence. Can any one seriously
pretend that his feelings would be very deeply stirred by a first perusal
of the words of The Lost Chord, or even Auld Lang Syne, in a book or
magazine? Yet no one can hear either of these ballads sung without
experiencing a thrill of very genuine emotion.
The composers share is, of
course, an important one, but it cannot altogether account for the
popularity of any single song of this kind. Divorced from its words, the
air of Home, Sweet Home, would strike the critic as obvious and
unoriginal. That of God Save the King that tiresome tune, as Queen
Victoria is said to have termed it is not of a very high order. But the
music of either is, at any rate, congruous and sympathetic. It can safely
be relied upon to stimulate the loyal or domestic sentiments to which it
is primarily intended to appeal. By its means the lyrics find expression
in the most perfect and eloquent fashion. Music, indeed, as a French
philosopher has said, makes us feel what we are thinking, and the airs of
these old ballads conjure up an apt dramatic setting for the stories which
the poet narrates so vividly in the text. The grandest things, as Edward
Fitzgerald truly remarked, do not depend on delicate finish. And the
popular song must, above all, rely for success upon qualities of
simplicity, elemental humour, and pathos, which speak directly to the
heart of the listener. It is for this reason that the folk-song and the
ballad are immortal. For though the popular taste may change from year to
year, and the modern thirst for entertainment be only satisfied with
ignoble music-hall songs, in which the dubious humour of domestic
infelicity, conjugal infidelity, and inebriety plays a prominent part,
there is still room in the affections of even the least refined section of
the community for the old favourites of the past. The audience which has
just laughed itself hoarse over the antics of a low comedian, who has
graphically described the methods he employs to outwit his mother-in-law
or avoid the just payment of his debts, will accord a warm and perpetual
welcome to the ballad-singer whose repertoire consists of Annie Laurie
and The Old Folks at Home. There is always a place in the public favour
for any homely theme culled from the familiar drama of daily life, and so
it is that, though times change and fashions vary, the primitive love of
the old and the simple still sways the populace, and the songs of long ago
are ever the favourites of to-day.
As Miss Jane Elliot always
maintained a dignified silence on the subject of the authorship of
Flowers of the Forest, and Lady Nairne for forty years kept the secret
of having written The Land o the Leal, so did Lady Anne make an
invariable practice of denying any share in the composition of Auld Robin
Gray. One person alone, a Mrs. Russell of Ashestiel and aunt of Sir
Walter Scott, who happened to be staying at Balcarres when the song was
written, was admitted to the confidence of its author.
Many years afterwards, in a
letter dated July 1823, Lady Anne gave Sir Walter a very interesting
description of the composition of her famous ballad. Robin Gray, she
wrote, so called from its being the name of the old herd at Balcarres,
was born soon after the close of the year 1771. My sister Margaret had
married, and accompanied her husband to London; I was melancholy, and
endeavoured to amuse myself by attempting a few poetical trifles. There
was an ancient Scotch melody of which I was passionately fond; [The
Bridegroom Greits when the Sun Goes Down.] Sophie Johnstone, who lived
before your day, used to sing it to us at Balcarres. She did not object to
its having improper words, though I did. I longed to sing old Sophies air
to different words, and give to its plaintive tone some little history of
virtuous distress in humble life, such as might suit it. While attempting
to effect this in my closet, I called to my little sister, now Lady
Hardwicke, who was the only person near me, I have been writing a ballad,
my dear; I am oppressing my heroine with many misfortunes. I have already
sent her Jamie to sea and broken her fathers arm and made her mother
fall sick and given her auld Robin Gray for her lover; but I wish to
load her with a fifth sorrow within the four lines, poor thing! Help me to
one. Steal the cow, sister Anne, said the little Elizabeth. The cow was
immediately lifted by me, and the song completed.
He hadna been gane a
twelvemonth and a day
When my father brake his
arm, and the cow was stown away;
My mither she fell sick
my Jamie was at sea,
And auld Robin Gray came
a-courting me.
At our fireside and
amongst the neighbours, Auld Robin Gray was always called for. I was
pleased in secret with the approbation it met with; but such was my dread
of being suspected of writing anything, perceiving the shyness it
created in those who could write nothing, that I carefully kept my
secret. [Auld Robin Gray: A ballad by the Right Hon. Lady Anne
Barnard, born Lady Anne Lindsay of Balcarres. (Edin., James Ballantyne &
Co., 1825).]
Lady Anne proceeds to
relate how Lady Frances Scott guessed her secret, and how the laird of
Dalzell, on hearing the song, exclaimed, Oh, the villain! Oh, the auld
rascal! I ken wha stealt the poor lassies coo twas auld Robin Gray
himsell! This old gentleman also begged Lady Anne, when she next sang the
song, to alter the line
To make the crown a pund,
my Jamie gaed to sea,
To To make it twenty merks,
for, said he, a Scottish pound was but twenty pence, and Jamie was nae
such a gowk as to leave Jennie and gang to sea to lessen his gear!
Meanwhile the authorship of
the verses became a matter of popular dispute. Some people affirmed that
it was a very ancient ballad, composed perhaps by David Rizzio; others
that it was a modern song of but little importance. A reward of twenty
pounds was offered in the newspapers to the one person who could ascertain
beyond a doubt the truth as to its authors identity. Mr. Jernyngham,
secretary of the Antiquarian Society, had an interview with Lady Anne upon
the subject. To him she declared that the ballad in question had me with
attentions beyond its deserts. It set off with having a very fine tune
put to it by a doctor of music, [The Rev. William Leeves, rector of
Wrington, wrote the air to which Auld Robin Gray is now usually sung.]
she informed her interviewer, was sung by youth and beauty for five years
and more, had a romance composed from it by a man of eminence, was the
subject of a play, of an opera, and of a pantomime, was sung by the united
armies in America, acted by Punch, and afterwards danced by dogs in the
street, but never more honoured than by the present investigation.
Several persons laid claim
to having written Auld Robin Gray. There was a clergyman on the coast,
says Captain Basil Hall, Sir Walter Scotts friend and constant guest, in
his Journal, whose conscience was so large that he took the burden of the
matter upon himself, and pleaded guilty to the authorship. Finally the
author of Waverley mentioned Lady Anne by name in The Pirate
[vol. ii. p13.] as the author of Auld Robin Gray, and she
determined to reveal her secret to the world.
On the death of her father
she left Balcarres and went to live in Edinburgh with her mother. She had
previously paid frequent visits to he grandmother, Lady Dalrymple, a
clever old lady who lived there and was intimate with all the leading
Scotsmen of her time. During her residence at the Scottish capital Lady
Anne continued the friendships which she had thus begun with such eminent
men as Dr. Johnson and Mackenzie, author of The Man of Feeling,
while David Hume was a constant visitor at her house.
At what were facetiously
called the Dinners of the Eaterati convivial meetings at which
the literary and fashionable people of Edinburgh foregathered she made
the acquaintance of a number of interesting men of all kinds. These
gatherings were of a mixed character, and it was not unusual to find such
uncongenial spirits as Principal Robertson and David Hume hobnobbing
together over a bottle of port, just as though such a thing as the
Thirty-Nine Articles had never existed. To see the lion and the lamb
lying down together, the deist and the doctor, is extraordinary, writes
Lady Anne of one occasion; it makes one hope that some day Hume will say
to him, Thou almost persuadest me to be a Christian. [Life of David
Hume, by J.H. Burton, vol. ii. p445.]
When the young Earl of
Balcarres married, Lady Anne said a final farewell to the home of her
childhood and settled in London, in a house in Berkeley Square, with her
sister Lady Margaret Fordyce, whose husbands death had followed
immediately upon his bankruptcy and disgrace. Here she soon formed a wide
circle of friends, among other the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert,
with both of whom she maintained a close correspondence extending over a
great number of years. The list of her acquaintances also included such
men as Pitt, Burke, and Henry Dundas, - at that time leading figures in
the world of politics. For the last-named statesman she conceived the
strongest attachment, but her feelings were not reciprocated, and when
Dundas, who had divorced his first wife, became engaged to Lady Jane Hope,
Lady Anne turned elsewhere for consolation. Shortly afterwards she made up
her mind to marry Andrew Barnard, son of the old Bishop of Limerick, who
was very much in love with her, and of whom she was very fond. Her
father-in-law was a well-known public character, and had been Bishop of
Killaloe. Dr. Johnson, it will be remembered, composed an amusing charade
on the Bishops name.
[My first shuts
out thieves from your house or your room,
second expresses a Syrian perfume,
whole is a man in whose converse is shard
The strength of the Bar
and the sweetness of Nard.] It was to Dr
Barnard too that Johnson made the celebrated remark to the effect that
the Irish are a fair people; they never speak well of one another! [Boswells
Life of Johnson, (Malone), p.235.] And when the bishop and the
crusty old doctor quarrelled in an argument as to whether a mans mental
and physical qualities improved or deteriorated after the age of
forty-five, Johnson was extremely rude to Dr. Barnard, and the latter
retaliated by addressing some caustic verses to his friend, of which the
last stanza runs as follows:-
Let Johnson teach me how
to place
In fairest light each
borrowed grace,
From him Ill learn to
Copy his clear and easy
And from the roughness of
his file,
Grow as himself polite!
Lady Anne Barnard was
fifteen years older than her husband. They were both of them excessively
poor. But they seem nevertheless to have been a singularly happy and
devoted couple. By the kindness of Dundas, who was then in office, Andrew
Barnard was appointed Secretary of the Cape Colony in 1797 when Lord
Macartney [George, 1st Earl Macartney] was sent to South
Africa as Governor. Lady Anne accompanied her husband to Cape Town, and,
in the absence of Lady Macartney, undertook the position of hostess and
chatelaine at Government House. She soon became a prominent and popular
figure at the South African capital, though she writes of the colonists in
a tone of good-natured superiority, declaring that their manners and
refinement left a great deal to the imagination and that their parties
reminded her of second-rate subscription dance at home. She was of a
curious and inquisitive disposition, was for ever seeking information upon
every possible subject, and accepted without question the most incredible
stories which the astute natives chose to pour into her ingenuous ears.
The Barnards bought a small
farmhouse on a hillside outside Cape Town, where during the hot months of
the year they lived a rustic, peaceful existence. Lady Anne was especially
fond of animals, and in the grounds of Paradise, as her country
residence was called, there might be seen a strange variety of domestic
pets, ranging from jackals to penguins, from tame springboks to
chameleons, while a young sea-calf disported itself in a pond close to the
house. She thoroughly enjoyed her stay in South Africa, and was always
organising expeditions to various places of interest in the Colony. When
she and a number of friends ascended Table Mountain for the first time,
she donned certain masculine garments which she borrowed from her husband,
to whom she laughingly declared that this was the first and last occasion
on which he could ever accuse her of wearing such things. On reaching the
summit of the mountain, she handed glasses of Madeira round to the whole
party, and insisted that all should join in singing God Save the King.
Later on she and her husband undertook a lengthy tour into the very
interior of the country. They travelled in a huge wagon drawn by oxen,
loaded with provisions and an assortment of cheap but attractive-looking
presents in the form of beads, shawls, &c., with which the secretary and
his wife proposed to ingratiate themselves with the natives.
On the subsequent cession
of the Cape of Good Hope to the Dutch, in 1802, Andrew Barnard returned to
England. Four years later, however, when the English again conquered the
Cape, he was once more appointed secretary, this time to Lord Caledon, who
was Macartneys successor. Lady Anne made every arrangement to follow her
husband to South Africa, but was stopped at the last moment by the news of
his sudden death in 1807. The heart-broken widow then returned to her
sisters house in London. Here she continued to live after Lady Margaret
Fordyce had married Sir James Burgess, in 1812, until her death.
Probably no woman ever left
such abundant material for a future biography as did Lady Anne. Alas! no
woman ever loaded a possible biographer with so many restrictions. Among
her papers, now in the hands of her descendants, are eighteen large folio
volumes filled with personal memoirs and recollections, every single page
of which is rife with human interest. In these books Lady Anne provides a
complete and most humorous picture of London and Edinburgh life at the end
of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries. She also
gives characteristic accounts of her experiences in Paris on the occasions
of her various visits to that city, then the very focus of the worlds
gaze. Her descriptions of Marie Antoinette, Madame du Barri, the Duc de
Choiseul, and other great personages connected with the French court are
of absorbing interest. And when she returns to London, we find her in the
closest touch with all the principal character of her day. Sheridan,
Burke, Reynolds, and a hundred more notabilities, appear to have been on
the most intimate terms with her. Indeed, it would seem that she knew and
was known by everybody, that she inspired more confidence and received
more confidences than any other woman of her contemporaries.
These volumes are a perfect
gold-mine of valuable information, and the fact of not being allowed to
delve therein is all the more tragic. Unfortunately Lady Anne left with
these memoirs the strictest possible injunctions forbidding the
reproduction in print of any matters that they contained. The letters from
eminent personages, the anecdotes in which these recollections are
particularly rich, must therefore remain unpublished. And no doubt Lady
Anne was perfectly right in her desire that the secrets of her intimates
should be respected after her death. For though one may deplore the loss
of so much valuable material, it is impossible not to appreciate the views
of one who could not anticipate an age when self-advertisement would be
universal and personal paragraphs the very breath and essence of social
Lady Anne was, as has
already been mentioned, a particular friend of the Prince Regent. After
her husbands death she sent his portrait to the prince, at the same time
begging him not to trouble about replying. He was determined, however, to
acknowledge her gift, and sent her a letter which speaks eloquently of his
whole-hearted affection.
My dear and old friend (he
wrote), you are right in thinking that perhaps it would be better, both
for you and me, that no letter should pass between us in consequence of
this recent mark of your kindest recollection and affection. But there are
certain feelings which one is only individually responsible for, and that
which perhaps in one instance is better for one person not to do, it is
impossible for another to resist, It is not from any selfish conceit or
presumption that I presume to differ from your much better reasoned an
conceived opinion, but from the ingenuous and paramount impulse and
feelings of a heart that you have long, long indeed known, which from the
earliest hour of its existence has glowed with the warmest and most
transcendent feelings of the most affectionate friendship for those who
love and know how to appreciate it and to whom can this be better
applied, dearest Lady Anne, than to yourself? To tell you how much and how
highly I value your present, and what, (if it be possible) is much more,
the affectionate manner in which you have done it, is that which I not
only can never express, but can never forget. That every blessing and
happiness may for ever attend you is the earnest prayer of
Your ever and most
affectionate friend,
P.S. My heart is so full
that I hope you will forgive this hasty scrawl, for I write the very
instant I have received your letter. Pray tell me that you forgive me.
During a serious illness
George IV. sent for Lady Anne to come and see him, and presented her with
a material token of his affection. Sister Anne, he said to her on this
occasion, I wish to tell you that I love you, and beg you to accept this
golden chain for my sake. I may, perhaps, never see you again.
Lady Anne had always been
fond of writing. During her sojourn in South Africa she sent a number of
extremely graphic and descriptive letters to Dundas, giving an interesting
account of her life in the Cape Colony. She possessed a strong sense of
humour, and could invest the most commonplace and trivial incidents with a
dramatic interest which was the outcome of her effective literary style.
Sir Walter Scott at one time projected the publication of a book of
verses, to be styled The Lays of the Lindsays, and Lady Anne sent him
several songs of her own. Unluckily, just before the book was circulated,
she changed her mind, and had the whole edition suppressed with the
exception of the song Auld Robin Gray. It was probably to compensate Sir
Walter for the financial loss he had incurred over the publication of
these lays that Lady Anne left him a legacy of �50 in her will.
At her fathers request she
began a history of the family, and, out of compliment to her mother, who
was always wishing to hear how the unlucky business of Jennie and Jamie
ended, she attempted a continuation of Auld Robin Gray. This, like most
sequels, would have been better left unwritten. The vagrant scraps, as
she termed her occasional writings, which she has left behind, show her to
have been a woman of ready wit, rich fancy, and an original turn of mind.
She is said to have been a delightful conversationalist, and the life and
soul of every party she attended. She was a great story-teller, and it is
related that at a dinner party which she was giving to some friends, her
old family servant caused some amusement by whispering in her ear, in an
undertone audible to the whole company, My lady, you must tell another
story, the second course wont be ready for five minutes.
Besides being the possessor
of literary ability of no mean order, Lady Anne had a remarkable taste for
painting. Whatever her sketches lacked of real artistic merit they made up
for in observation and character. She does not, indeed, place mountains
on their apex, wrote Scott to his friend, J.P. Morritt, in 1811, like
that of Zarenta in Bruces travels, or those of Selkirkshire in Miss Lydia
Whites drawings, but what her representations lose in the wonderful they
gain in nature and beauty. [Familiar Letters of Walter Scott, vol. i.
p.228.] But whatever else she may have been or done that was admirable
or worthy of praise, she would still most certainly have earned the
gratitude of the whole English-speaking race had her only contribution to
the literature of her country been the ballad of Auld Robin Gray the
most pathetic that ever was written, as Leigh Hunt calls it [Men, Women,
and Books, by Leigh Hunt, p.284.] with which her memory must ever
be associated.

Colorado senator to head DSCCDecember 4, 2012 @ 11:09 am
DENVER (AP) - Colorado's junior senator has a new responsibility _ helping Democrats maintain their hold on the U.S. Senate in 2014.
Sen. Michael Bennet will chair the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. That from a committee announcement Tuesday. Bennet is a soft-spoken centrist who defied the Republican wave in 2010 and won re-election in a bitter campaign run by the political strategist who is now the DSCC's executive director.
Bennet will be responsible for raising money and helping draw up national strategy for Democratic senators. Bennet will also continue to serve in the Senate. Twenty Democrats are up for re-election in 2014, while 13 Republicans are up. The Democrats include Colorado's senior senator, Mark Udall.
Democrats and the two independents who often vote with them currently hold a 55-45 majority in the Senate.

Somali, Ethiopian troops to strike Shabaab in S. Somalia
By Abdel-Qader Foudi, Friday, March 07, 2014
MOGADISHU – Somali and Ethiopian troops are preparing a major military operation against the militant Al-Shabaa group in Hudur, the provincial capital of the southwestern Bakool region, according to military sources.
"The troops are nearly 30kms from Hudur," a source told Anadolu Agency on Friday, requesting anonymity for not being authorized to speak to the media.
Eyewitnesses in the area told AA they had seen massive Somali and Ethiopian troop buildup, including tanks, marching towards Hudur.
The military operation is described as part of the Somali government`s campaign to flush out the militant group from areas under its control.
On Wednesday, government forces and African peacekeepers managed to recapture the southern town of Rab Dhuure from Al-Shabaab.
Abdel-Nour Mohamed, deputy governor of the Bakool region, confirmed the recapture of the town.
"This is a major military victory," he told AA.
Al-Shabaab, however, continues to control several towns in the southeastern Lower Shebelle region.
Somalia has remained in the grip of on-again, off-again violence since the outbreak of civil war in 1991.
The country appeared to have stabilized recently with the installation of a new government and the intervention of African Union troops tasked with combatting Al-Shabaab.

Georgia coach Mark Richt, left, and fans react after a young fan asked a tough question about Georgia's special teams on national signing day Wednesday in Athens, Ga.Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Georgia football coach Mark Richt completed his coaching staff Thursday with the hiring of Mike Ekeler, who will work with the inside linebackers.
Ekeler spent last season as linebackers coach at Southern Cal, which led the Pac-12 in total defense and ranked 13th nationally (allowing 335.2 yards per game). He arrived at USC from Indiana, where he was linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator the previous two years.
"I was extremely impressed with his knowledge and energy during the interview process," Richt said in a release. "He was highly recommended by many coaches and administrators with whom I talked, and we're very excited that he'll be joining our staff."
Ekeler was a graduate assistant at Oklahoma during the 2003 and '04 seasons and a graduate assistant at LSU the three years after that, working those five seasons under defensive coordinator Bo Pelini. He has been a part of three teams that reached BCS championship games, with Oklahoma losing the 2003 and 2004 contests and LSU winning in 2007.
When Pelini left LSU after the '07 season to become Nebraska's head coach, Ekeler went with him as the linebackers coach for three seasons.
The responsibilities for Georgia's four new assistants are as follows: Jeremy Pruitt (defensive coordinator/secondary), Ekeler (inside linebackers), Kevin Sherrer (strongside linebacker and the nickel back) and Tracy Rocker (defensive line and weakside linebacker).
"I'm looking forward to supporting Coach Pruitt and our entire coaching staff in every way I can," Ekeler said. "Our family can't wait to move to Athens and get started."

Crowne Plaza may have Riverwalk section replaced
Updated On: May 15 2014 05:57:32 PM EDT
There's a ray of hope for getting all of the wood out of the dilapidated, wooden Southbank Riverwalk.
If you've been following this saga like Channel 4 has for years, you may be aware that one section behind the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville-Riverfront hotel was not going to be replaced with a new concrete walkway.
The reason was the concerns of the hotel's managers about the construction costing the hotel business.
Now the city and the Crowne Plaza's corporate management have met, and those managers say they are interested in having that section of the Riverwalk replaced.
The two sides are now trying to agree on a time frame that will not hurt the hotel's business.
What's not known is whether this agreement will raise the total cost of the project.

Everything looks exactly as you remember it, and if the game had adjustable difficulty or other options in the real world, it'll have them here, too. Naturally though, some games don't fare as well as others. Ever played Track & Field? It was the original button-masher. Try hammering the DS buttons the way you did the arcade machine. And if you think Gradius is tough already, wait until you try it on a tiny screen, where the paths between bullets are itty-bitty. There's good stuff here (especially for what, two bucks a game?), but sometimes not even modern hardware can recreate the past very well.

I have been doing research on several Klinefelter lines. This Lorentz has of discomfort. I think I just need to travel to York Historical Society and start digging into his children.
I have found that he had a Peter, but other info says Peter is not his. Peter could not be Susannah's child as he was born before they were married. I also have info stating that Peter was the son of Lorentz's nephew. So....it is confusing. I have been in contact with a cousin who is from Lorentz that states that Lorentz and Mary had 4 children, only one girl, who supposedly died young. He had 3 children with Susannah. Does anyone have any information on her? She has remained elusive.
Any help with this family would be great.
Thank you.

A governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Mr. Iyiola Omisore, on Thursday alleged that some people were threatening his life while calling on the police to ensure that nothing untoward happened to him.
He said this in a statement issued on his behalf by his media aide, Mr. Diran Odeyemi, in Osogbo.
The governorship aspirant said Governor Rauf Aregbesola and leaders of his party, the All Progressives Congress had kept mentioning bloodshed saying security agents should caution them based on this.
He said, "Otunba Iyiola Omisore has been receiving threat messages and this is a dangerous sign. We don't want what happened to Funsho Williams in Lagos State when he was about to be nominated to happen to him.
"We are calling on the police and the Federal Government to ensure that Omisore is secure. Security agencies should monitor Mr. Rauf Aregbesola and caution him because he has been mentioning bloodshed since.
"They sent thugs to Ondo and Anambra during the governorship election and we know that if they did that in states not theirs, you can imagine what they will do here in Osun State.
" The police in the state should be at alert, more men should be deployed to monitor the ongoing continuos voter registration exercise.
"We are urging our people to remain calm and only fight with their votes."
The aspirant also restated his call for the removal of Ambassador Rufus Akeju as the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state.
But the Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy of the APC, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, in his response to the allegation said it was the PDP that was known for violence, assassination and every bad thing.
He claimed that many hoodlums working for the PDP killed many innocent people of the state in their efforts to sit permanently on the mandate stolen from Aregbesola in 2007.
Oyatomi said, "The PDP has been shedding blood. Violence is their trademark. The records of their bloodletting activities are there for everyone to see."
The statement from the APC reads, "Reports reaching the APC Secretariat informed of the tragedy that resulted after a PDP meeting at Gbodo degenerated into violence during which their own party man was killed.
"But in an attempt to divert attention from the crime, the PDP unleashed violence on the father of Ife East Local Government Executive Secretary, Mr Tajudeen Lawal, vandalizing the old man's property.
"The APC wants the security services to take very seriously the increasing audacity with which the PDP is operating violently in Osun and constituting itself into a lawless and reckless army of thugs bent on intimidating the people to support their party."

Hanoi Information
Hanoi is located in the Red River Delta, in the center of North
Vietnam . It is encompassed by Thai Nguyen Province to the north,
Vinh Phuc and Ha Tay to the west and south, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh
and Hung Yen provinces to the east and south-east.
Hanoi means the hinterland between the rivers
(Ha: river, Noi: interior). Hanoi 's territory is washed by the
Red River (the portion of the Red River embracing Hanoi is approximately
40km long) and its tributaries, but there are some other rivers
flowing through the capital, including Duong, Cau, Ca Lo, Day, Nhue,
Tich, To Lich and Kim Nguu.
Hanoi is a sacred land of Vietnam . In the 3rd century BC, Co Loa
(actually belonging to Dong Anh District) was chosen as the capital
of the Au Lac Nation of Thuc An Duong Vuong (the King Thuc). Hanoi
later became the core of the resistance movements against the Northern
invasions. Located in the middle of the Red River Delta, the town
has gradually expanded to become a very populations and rich residential
center. At different periods, Hanoi had been selected as the chief
city of Vietnam under the Northern domination.
In the autumn of Canh Tuat lunar years (1010),
Ly Thai To, the founder of the Ly Dynasty, decided to transfer the
capital from Hoa Lu to Dai La, and so he rebaptized it Thang Long
(Flying Dragon). The year 1010 then became an historical date for
Hanoi and for the whole country in general.
Throughout the thousand years of its eventful history, marked by
destruction, wars and natural calamities, Hanoi still preserves
many ancient architectural works including the Old Quarter and over
600 pagodas and temples. Famous sites include the One
Pillar Pagoda (built in 1042), the Temple of Literature (built in

DEFINITION of 'Financial Engineering'
The use of mathematical techniques to solve financial problems. Financial engineering uses tools and knowledge from the fields of computer science, statistics, economics and applied mathematics to address current financial issues as well as to devise new and innovative financial products. Financial engineering is sometimes referred to as quantitative analysis and is used by regular commercial banks, investment banks, insurance agencies and hedge funds.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Financial Engineering'
Financial engineering has led to the explosion of derivative trading that we see today. Since the Chicago Board Options Exchange was formed in 1973 and two of the first financial engineers, Fischer Black and Myron Scholes, published their option pricing model, trading in options and other derivatives has grown dramatically.

We need to decide what to do if the forums close due to KFFL merging with USA Today fantasy sports. I have everyone's email but we need to figure out a forum to use as a backup at least get through the season. Any suggestions?
Please update your phone number and email on MFL. This way I can get in touch with everyone in case the forums just go away with no notice.

February 15, 2007
A progress report from President Bush Thursday morning on the global war on terror focused on Afghanistan.
"We're on the offense in Iraq, as we should be against extremists" said Bush.
While Iraq has been at the forefront of terror talk for some time, this time the President focused on Afghanistan.
"I've ordered an increase in U.S. forces in Afghanistan. We've extended the stay now for 3,200 U.S. troops for four months, and we'll deploy a replacement force that will sustain an increase for the foreseeable future" said Bush.
The White House is calling for an all out allied effort to finally defeat the Taliban.
The President hopes to get aid for that effort in a bill heading to
Congress in the coming weeks. It asks for about 100 billion dollars
to fund operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The U.S. military is anticipating an offensive by ousted radicals and
they believe the extension of troops in Afghanistan is needed to face
that challenge.
27,000 troops are expected to be on the ground there until at the least the spring of 2008 and there's hope NATO will add more troops as well.

521 E. Lawther Drive
Dallas, TX 75218-3311
Category: Community Venues
Region: White Rock Lake Area
Is it a good time to talk about race? It depends. Is it Thanksgiving dinner? Is Uncle Buddy rocking a fresh Confederate flag tattoo? Are you arguing in front of the Supreme Court? Then maybe not. But perhaps you think it's important to acknowledge the ugliness of the past and the present and likely the future — or just like to immerse yourself in thought-provoking conversation. If the latter is the case, you're gonna dig White People. The edgy think piece from the offbeat Churchmouse Productions wing of Pegasus Theatre is heady and heavy, exploring themes of race, guilt, consequences and the power of language. It's not for the easily offended, but neither is any candid conversation about race in this country. The controversial and critically lauded play by J. T. Rogers will be staged at the Bath House Cultural Center, 521 East Lawther Drive, beginning Thursday and running through May 25. Performances are at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $10 through Sunday and then $20 thereafter. Purchase them at brownpapertickets.com/event/625783.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 2 p.m. Starts: May 8. Continues through May 25, 2014

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffIt's no Taylor Swift, that's for sure
Album Rating: 4.5I heard Back to Chapel Town and was like WOW, have ordered this
I like Vertikal and their debut a lot, but this sounds as though it's in a whole different league
Digging: Warren of Ohms - The Wolf and The Fox
Album Rating: 5.0its in a 5 league
Album Rating: 4.5Album is CoL's best and a cornerstone of post metal fight me.
Digging: Musk Ox - Woodfall
Album Rating: 3.5had this for a while and still haven't given it a proper listen. Should do.
Digging: Ghost Brigade - IV - One with the Storm
Album Rating: 5.0Ugh, please do.
Finland and Back to Chapel Town are the best tracks within the genre.
Album Rating: 4.5dim
Digging: Soen - Tellurian
Album Rating: 5.0Dim rules hard too, ugh album is emotionz.
Album Rating: 5.0finland and dark city, dead man
Album Rating: 5.0Nah, Thirtyfour and Dim are some of the best 20 minutes for post-metal period. Love those 2 songs.
I've actually grown to like this album more than Panopticon and I fucking love Panopticon.
Album Rating: 5.0Is amazing, not in the same league though.
Album Rating: 3.0got salvation and somewhere along the highway. don't like either. but for some reason i'm still really compelled to get into this band and am tempted to buy vertikal. should i bother? my problem with this band is they're so slow all the time and then just explode in growly heavy sludge. it's either quiet or its loud, but it's always slow. does vertikal change that up at all?
Album Rating: 2.0minty, I'm pretty sure you described most of post metal.
Digging: Chansey - Natural Cure
if you dont like either of those albums i doubt you'll like vertikal
Album Rating: 3.0isis is nothing like cult of luna. they have a lot of midtempo moments and their music is often more middling in volume as well. not just either really quiet or really loud. they often groove and wander in their songs. i just find every climax so formulaic with cult of luna. mostly going by salvation though as that's the last one i remember hearing. i do really like amenra's mass v though, even though it's pretty much the same as how i described cult of luna. maybe it's the production on that that i love.
Album Rating: 3.0rosetta aren't like that either. they have a lot of more upbeat music and maintain the intensity for a lot longer. awake in sleep is another awesome post-metal band akin to isis. rituals is a great post-metal band -- they're like cult of luna but have gradual builds, not just obvious explosions.
Album Rating: 4.5Awake in Sleep are alright, but not that awesome
yeah they're nothing to write home about.
i just find every climax so formulaic with cult of luna.
alex why are you even wasting your time with this guy

After dealing with the heat just before the season was set to begin, area cross country teams found plenty of early season competition.
Cross Country
Just before the temperatures went from uncomfortably hot to downright dangerous, cross country teams hit the trails at Northwoods Park in Brooklyn Park for the Rebel Northwoods Invite Aug. 23.
When St. Olaf Cross Country coach Chris Daymont asked Jorden Johnson about joining the team last January, neither coach nor runner dreamed about the way the 2012 season turned out for the Oles sophomore.
Coon Rapids boys' and girls' cross country turned in great team-wide races at the Section 5AA meet Thursday afternoon at Anoka High School.
Participation in varsity-level activities once again came to light during Monday's Anoka-Hennepin School Board meeting as members of the Coon Rapids girls' cross country team showed up in support of eighth-grader Bryna DelCasatillo being allowed to run varsity-level races, among others in the district.
When Blaine High School (BHS) cross country coach Rachel Karel introduced Tom Anderson, a member of her team, and Ally Anderson, a student in her Spanish class and yearbook photo editor, she said, "Ally, Tom. Tom, Ally. You made each other famous."
Andover's Steven Cotter set a new school record in the 5,000 meter race on Sept. 14 with the boys' cross country team at Lakeville's Apple Jack Invitational.
The Grandy Nine Golf Course in Stanchfield set the stage for eight local high school girls' and boys' cross country teams to run for autumn glory when Cambridge-Isanti hosted its invitational tournament there Sept. 6.

The Bethesda Project July Newsletter
Media Release: Malvern Institute Scores Again, Signs Bernie Parent as Spokesperson
Malvern, PA (July 1, 2014) – Malvern Institute is pleased to announce the new addition to the team, Philadelphia Flyers Hall of Fame goaltender, Bernie Parent. We have been working with Bernie for several years. He has been our keynote speaker at several events and has spent time with our patients talking about his life in recovery.
Mr. Parent has spent the last 35 years of his life in recovery. After many struggles, trials and tribulations with addiction in his earlier years, he understands that addiction is a daily battle that must be tackled head-on with the help of a strong support system. Bernie began his recovery much like many of the patients at the Malvern Institute and believes wholeheartedly in our methods and philosophy. Most importantly, he connects with our patients, forms bonds, and acts as a role model to any and all people that struggle with drug and alcohol abuse, as he was able to take control of his addiction and come out on top of the game.
About Malvern Institute:
A leader in the addiction field, Malvern Institute, founded in 1948, operates a total of 167 beds for Inpatient Drug and Alcohol treatment located in both Willow Grove and Malvern, PA. We provide an evidence-based model of clinical care along with a 12-step approach that will provide engagement and monitoring for at least 90 days. Malvern is licensed by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Drug and Alcohol and the Commission for Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.
To get on the road to recovery, please call 800-647-8073 TODAY, or visit www.malverninstitute.com!

Call for Kids: Pop-Up Park Buffalo at the Burchfield Penney
Pop-Up Park Buffalo comes to the Burchfield Penney Art Center on Saturday, April 13, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. In one afternoon, a team of kids will design, build, play on, and tear down their own park in front of the museum. This event is part of a four-day festival from April 11 to 14 called Cycles.
"Pop-up" refers to an intervention, usually within the urban environment, that "pops up" temporarily for a specific need or event. Last May, Joy Kuebler Landscape Architect joined forces with architect Catherine Faust and head of the Tinkering School of Buffalo, Melissa Leopard, to begin the process of bringing a pop-up park to Buffalo.
Participation in Pop-Up Park Buffalo is free; however, reservations are required: please call Alana Ryder, curator for public and academic programs, at ext. 4534. Space is limited, and children must be between the ages of 8 and 18. Lunch will be provided. The event will take place rain or shine.
