were interred in the family vault, at Mark-
inch. Never, perhaps, on any occafion of
this kind, was manifefted the refpect due
to a worthy character, in a more ftriking
ard folemn manner. The funeral procef-
fion, confifting of about thirty carriages of
Noblemen and Gentlemen; of Gentlemen,
Tenants, Farmers, and refpectable Inhabi-
tants from different parts of Fife on horfe-
back and on foot, occupied great part of the
road, about a mile from Balgonie Caftle
to the Church-yard, in which thousands
of spectators were collected. Silence and
decorum extended to the loweft and the
youngest of this vaft concourse, while un-
feigned forrow and affection were evident
in the deportment and the countenances of
thofe to whom his worth was better known.
For more than half a century he was en-
endeared to all ranks of men, in the various
relations of life, and as a public character.
He exhibited a bright example of conjugal
tenderness, and of parental affection. He
was bleffed with a numerous and affection-
ate family, and saw his childrens' children
to the fourth generation. He was a kind
and indulgent master to his domestics. He
was affable and condefcending to his de-
pendants and tenants, and rejoiced in their
profperity. His hofpitality and polite at-
tentions to his numerous guefts, were long
experienced and celebrated.
In whatever
concerned the good of the county of Fife,
or the cares and exertions of a real patriot,
he always took an active fhare. The ad
drefs prefented to him by the Commiffion
of the General Affembly of the Church of
Scotland, 1801, in confequence of his intima-
ting to them, in diffolving the Affembly,
that he would probably never again addrefs
them from the throne, abundantly demon-
ftrates in what efteem he was held by the
Church of Scotland, and the most diftin-
guished of her Clergy. The Affembly
1802 adopted the Commiffion's address as

in their records. It is very remarkable
that he furvived this high mark of the ve-
neration of the Church, which he very high-
ly valued, only eight days. In five of thefe,
he enjoyed his ufual health and spirits, vi-
fited his friends, and faw company.
the Thursday of that week, he prefided in
the Society for Propagating Chriftian
Knowledge, and went through all the du
ties and business of that day, which was al-
ways, he observed, one of the moft pleafant
of his life. On the Friday he joined the Ma-
giftrates of Edinburgh, in celebrating his
Majefty's birth day, in the Parliament-
fquare. It was on that occafion, it is fear-
ed, he caught that cold, the effects of which
fo foon terminated his life. It may be juft.
ly faid, remarked a friend, that he met
his fate in an act of homage to his beloved
Sovereign. It is pleafing to know, and to

his valuable life were fweetened by the
warmest interest and most foothing atten-
tions of those who were dearest to his heart.
