3. At Alyth, James Saudy, the celebrated Alyth mechanić. The originality of genius and eccentricity of character which distinguished this remarkable person were, perhaps, never surpassed. Deprived at an early age of the use of his legs, he contrived, by dint of ingenuity, not only to pass his time agreeably, but to render himself a useful member of society. He soon displayed a taste for mechanical pursuits, and contrived as a work shop for his operations a sort of

circular bed, the sides of which being raised about 18 inches above the clothes, were employed as a platform for turning lathes, tablevices, and cases for tools of all kinds. He was skilled in all sorts of turning; and constructed several very curious lathes, as well as clocks and musical instruments of every description, no less admired for the sweetness of their tone than the elegance of their execution. He excelled, too, in the construction of optical instruments; and made some reflecting telescopes, the speculæ of which were not inferior to those finished by the most eminent London artists. To his other endowments, he added an accurate knowledge of drawing and engraving, and in both these arts produced specimens of the highest excellence. For upwards of 50 years he quited his bed only three times, and on these occasions his house was either inundated with water or threatened with danger from fire.
