representative of the Marischal family, or by the
anonymous Editor of the " Continuation of Douglas's
Baronage," whose name can be learned from Mr.
Creech, the bookseller, and who, in his preface, soHcits
correspondence on these subjects.
Lord Glenbervie's own mother, Katherine Gordon,
second daughter and co-heir of James Gordon of
Fechil, was second cousin to the last Earl Marischal,
— sthey being both grandchildi*en of George, second
Earl of Kinnoul, by his two daughters, Ladies Mary
and Katherine. Lord Glenbervie is well acquainted
with Sir Alexander Douglas, Baronet, of Dundee, who
having no sons living, the Glenbervie branch of the
Angus family will, at his death, centre in Lord Glen-
bervie as heir male.
Lord Glenbervie has got, and had consulted,
" Douglas's Peerage and Baronage," which were
written by his old acquaintance and relation, Sir
Robert Douglas, father of Sir Alexander. — \_From u
