Gray, for the original sketch of Watt, by Henning, now for the first
time engraved ; to J. T. Cairo, Esq., for the lines of the splendid
modern steam-ship, Atrato ; to Robert Napier, Esq., among other
interesting contributions, for the portrait of Watt, after Sir W.
Beechey's, the original of which forms part of his valuable Collection
at West Shandon ; to Peter M'Kenzie, Esq., for the original adver-
tisement relating to the sale of John Watt's Map ; to Professor
Ramsay of Glasgow College, for the courtesy with which he secured
every facility to the Artist of the Club, who was kindly permitted to
copy the famous Newcomen's Engine, in the possession of the Univer-
sity ; and to Mr. Schenck of Edinburgh, for the interesting Plate of
the celebrated Papin, after the original portrait in the Aula of the
