Purr's recommendation is indeed well worth following up, though as I predicted an awful lot are scientific papers (we must be a very distinguished lot!). I've just had a quick look through the first 200 and there are some interesting bits and pieces. I find from the site about Hythe town (didn't note down the number) that Sir John Marjoribanks's younger brother Stewart, M.P. for Hythe in the early/mid 19th century, presented a portrait of the great Whig statesman Charles James Fox to the town and also a picture of two East-Indiamen (merchant ships) - very appropriate, since his main business interest was in shipping and another brother, Campbell, with whom he lived at Bushey, had been Chairman of the East India Company. No. 198 shows that Charles Marjoribanks (of whom we've written a lot in both Journals and Newsletters) was made a Freeman of Edinburgh in 1824 at the fantastically early age of 30, which says something for his work at Macao for the East India Company. Amazingly, he says nothing at all about this in his memoirs, where he is rather at pains to give the impression that he has lazed his life away. Surprisingly, too, neither his father, Sir John, nor any later distinguished Marjoribankses obtained this honour. Perhaps we should collect brief notes such as these for the next Journal, Bob. No. 198's presence in the list is a puzzle - I can only think that Jane was responsible for constructing the site. Her fiance, Henning Pedersen, is the "McCoy" of Price & McCoy; their act is well worth seeing if you ever get the chance. If not, visit their video - at least if you like acrobatics with humour. For literature enthusiasts I should think that the letters between Graham Greene and Sir James would be of great interest. I reckon I've almost used up my free webtime (& in any case our phone time is chargeable), so will return to the site next month. Roger
