acteristic of him, preserved in a window of his office a wire blind carrying the legend The Scots Observer.' Into all that he achieved into his craft and into the literary enterprises which he encouraged Walter Blaikie carried much of himself and all his own thoughts and enthusiasms. We like most to picture him sitting in his little room in Thistle Street, where he wore the aspect of a smiling wizard. The ceiling was covered by a pictured firmament in which he could study the stars; for to astronomy, in the hope as he said in his whimsical fashion of arriving at astrology, he was devoted. And all the space which was not taken up by books was filled with astronomical instruments. Had you seen a stuffed crocodile hanging from the roof you would not have been surprised. With all his interests, artistic, scientific, and scholarly, he was a man of affairs also, and for many years grudged neither time nor money if only he might do a service to Edinburgh. Yet perhaps it is as a historian that he will be best remembered. He was a supreme authority upon Prince Charles Edward and his misfortunes, and his Origin of the Forty-five' and other works are not likely to be superseded. He once told a friend that he could follow the movements of Prince Charles through every hour that he spent in Scotland, and he added with an ironic smile that the more he knew about him the less he esteemed him. And now that his well-filled life has come to an end, his friends will treasure his memory, we believe, rather for what he was than for what he did: they will think of him as one staunch in friendship, quick in humour, as a man who had the rare gift of smiling at misfortune, and who did not take his most serious pursuits too seriously.
