Europe or America as a handy yet comprehensive
book of ready reference, and of which the learned
and ingenious Dr. Andrew Findlater acted as editor.
In 1849 William purchased the estate of Glenormiston,
and ten years after made a valuable gift
to his native town, in the form of a suite of buildings,
including a public reading-room, a good
library, lecture-hall, museum, and art gallery, designated
the ?Chambers Institution ;? and in 1864
he issued his ?History of Peeblesshire,? an able
example of local annals. In 1865 he was elected
Lord Provost of Edinburgh, and inaugurated the
great architectural improvements set afoot in the
more ancient parts of the city ; and in 1872 the
University conferred upon him the degree of
LL.D. I
In 1860-1 the brothers projected that important
work which gave Robert Chambers his death-blow
-? The Book of Days : a Miscellany of Popular
Antiquities in connection with the Calendar, including
Anecdote, Biography, History, Curiosities of
Literature, &c., SLc.,? a large work, in two volumes
of 840 pages each. Disappointed in promised
literary aid, Robert wqs compelled to perform the
@eater part of this work alone, and during the
winter of 186r-2 ?he might be seen every day in
the British Museum, working hard at this fatal
book; The mental strain broke him down;
domestic bereavements aggravated the effects of
ill-health, and with it, though he lived to finish his
?Life of Smollett,? his literary career closed. He
died at St. Andrews in the beginning of the year
1870.?
Still hale and healthy, and as full of intellectual
vigour as when he handled the old printing press
in his little shop in Leith Walk, William?s pen was
yet busy, and produced, in 1860, ?The Youth?s
Companion and Counsellor;? in 1862, ?? Something
of Italy: in 1870, ?Wintering at Mentone p in
1871, ?? France, its History and Revolutions f
and, in 1872, an affectionate ?Memoir? of his
brother Robert, and ?Ailie Gilroy,? a simple and
pathetic little story.
? In reviewing the life of this eminent publisher,?
says a writer in the Nafiond Forfraif GaZlery,
<? one may say that he has so lived as to teach the
world how the good old-fashioned commonplace
virtues can be exalted into the loftiest range of
moral heroism ; that he has left on record a grand
and manly example of self-help which time can
never obliterate from the admiring memory of
succeeding generations. Life has to him been a
sacred trust, to be used for helping on the advancement
of humanity, and for aiding the diffusion of
knowledge. The moral to be drawn from his
biography is that, with macly self-trust, with high
and noble aims, with fair education, and with
diligence, a man may, no matter how poor he be
at the outset of his career, struggle upwards and
onwards to fill a high social position, and enjoy no
ordinary share of earthly honours and possessions.?
At the establishment of the Messrs. Chambers
fully two hundred hands are constantly employed,
and their premises in Warriston Close (which have
also an entrance from the High Street) form one of
the interesting sights in the city.
Lower down the-Close stood a large and handsome
house, having a Gothic niche at its entrance,
which was covered with armorial bearings and many
sorely obliterated inscriptions, of which onlythe fragment
of one was traceable-Gracia Dei Thomas 1:
This was the town residence of Sir Thomas
Craig of Riccarton, a man of eminent learning and
great nobility of character, and who practised as
a lawyer for fully forty years, during the stormy
reigns of Mary and James VI. In 1564 he was
made Justice Depute, and found time to give to
the world some very able poems-one on the birth
of James, and another on his departure for England,
are preserved in the DeZifiG Poefamm Scofurwi.
He steadily refused the honour of knighthood, yet
was always called Sir Thomas Craig, in conforniity
to a royal edict on the subject.
He wrote a treatise on the independent sovereignty
of Scotland, which was rendered into
wretched English by Ridpath, and published in
1675. He was Advocate for the Church, when he
died at Edinburgh, on the 26th of February, r608,
and was succeeded in the old house, as well as his
estate, by his eldest son, Sir Lewis Craig, born in
1569, and called to the bench in 1604, as Lord
Wrightslands, while his father was still a pleader at
the bar. After his time his house had as occupiers,
first Sir George Urquhart of Cromarty, and next
Sir Robert Baird, Bart., of Saughton Hall, who died
in 1714.
But by far the most celebrated residenter in this
venerable alley was he who gave it the name it
bears, Sir Archibald Johnston Lord Warriston,
whose estate, still so named, lies eastward of Inverleith
Row. The son of Johnston of Beirholm
(once a merchant in Edinburgh), by his wife Elizabeth,
daughter of Sir Thomas Craig (above mentioned),
this celebrated lawyer, subtle statesman,
and somewhat juggling politician, was called to the
bar in 1633, and would appear to have purchased
from his cousin, Sir Lewis Craig, a house in the
close, adjoining his own.
In 1637 he began to take a prominent part in
the bitter disputes of the period, and Bishop Bur

amounted to twenty-three persons, including lettercarriers.
Ten years afterwards thirty-one were
required, and in 1794 the Inland Office, including
the letter-carriers' branch, consisted of twenty-one
persons.
The Edinburgh Post-office, for a long time after
its introduction and establishment, was conducted
solely with a view to the continuance and security of
the correspondence of the people, and thus it
frequently had assistance from the Scottish Treasury;
and if we except the periods of civil war, when a
certain amount of surveillance was exercised by the
Government, as a measure of State security, the
office seems to have been conducted with integrity
and freedom from abuse.
In 1796, Thomas Elder of Forneth, at one time
Lord Provost, was Deputy Postmaster-General; in
1799 and 1802, William Robertson, and Trotter,of
Castlelaw, succeeded to that office respectively.
It was held in 1807 by the Hon. Francis Gray,
afterwards fifteenth Lord Gray of Kinfauns ; and
in 1810 the staff amounted to thirty-five persons,
letter-carriers included.
In April, 1713, the Post-office was in the first
flat of a house opposite the Tolbooth, on the north
side of the High Street-Main's shop, as we have
stated. At a later period it was in the first floor
I ~ t ' a house near the Cross, above an alley, to which it
gave the name of the Post-ofice Close. From thence
it was removed to the Parliament Close, where its
internal fittings were like those of a shop, the letters
were dealt across a counter, and the whole out-door
business of the city was conducted by one lettercarrier.
After being for a time in Lord Covington's
house, it was removed to one already mentioned
on the west side of the North Bridge, and from
thence to a new office (now an hotel) on the Regent
Bridge in 1821. For ten years before that period
James twelfth Earl of Caithness was Deputy Postmaster-
General ; and in the year preceding the removal
there, the Edinbzcrgh WeeklyJournaZ says, that
by order of the Depute Lyon King of Arms, and
the Ushcr of the White Rod, the new coat of the
royal arms of Britain, put thereon, was torn
down and removed, "as derogatory to the independance
of Scotland," Le., wrongly quartered, giving
England precedence. Another and correct coat of
arms was substituted, and remained there till the
present building was erected.
In 1823, Sir David Wedderburn, Bart., of Ballendean,
was appointed Postmaster-General of
Scotland, an office afterwards abolished.
In 1856 the establishment on the Regent Bridge
consisted of 225 officials, of whom 114 were lettercarriers,
porters, and messengers, and the average
number of. letters passing through arid delivered
in Edinburgh daily was estimated at 75,000. The
nuniber of mail-bags received daily was 5x8, and
the number despatched 350. The amount of money
orders issued and paid showed a sum of A;1,758,079
circulating annually through the department in
Scotland.
On the 23rd of October, 1861, the foundationstone
of the new General Post-office was laid, on
the east side of the North Bridge, by the late
Prince Consort, amid much state and ceremony,
the letter-carriers, all clad for the first time in blue,
in lieu of their old scarlet, being drawn up in
double rank within the galleries which occupied the
site of the old Theatre and which were crowded
by a fashionable audience. This was almost the
last act of Prince Albert's public life, as he died
two months subsequently. At his suggestion the
crowning row of vases was added to the fapde.
As finished now, it stands behind a pavement
of Caithness slabs forty-three feet broad, and is
from designs by the late Mr. Robert Matheson, of
H.M. Board of Works in Scotland. Built of fine
white stone from Binny quarry, in the neighbourhood
of the city, its style of architecture is a
moderately rich Italian type. It presents an
ornamental main front of 140 feet to Princes
Street, and another equally ornamental front, or
flank, of 180 feet to the North Bridge, with a rearfront,
which is also ornate, of ~qo'feet, to the deep
valley where once the North Loch lay.
The flank to the Waterloo Place Buildings is
somewhat plainer than the others, and measures
160 feet. The edifice rises in the central part of
each of these three ornamental fronts, to the height of
two stately storeys above the street level, and has
at the corners wings, or towers, a storey higher, and
crowned with rows of massive and beautifully
sculptured vases. On the south front it descends
to the depth of 125 feet from the summit of
these towers, and thus presents a very imposing
appearance.
This. office, the chief one for all Scotland, cost,
including the site, Ar 20,000, and was first opened
for business on the 7th of May, 1866. The entire
staff, from t4e Surveyor-General downwards, consisted
in 1880 of 429 persons; whose salaries,
wages, and allowances, amounted to A38,427.
Connected, of course, with the head office, there
were in Edinburgh, Leith, and the suburbs, in
1880, receiving-offices and pillar-boxes."

through the Scottish Post-ofice 101,948,goo letters, 1z,z84,700 post-cards,

OLD AND NEW EDtNEURGH. [The Cowgate.
Full of years and honours, Tam 0? the Cowgate
died in 1637. At Tynninghame, his family seat,
:here are two portraits of him preserved, and also
his state dress, in the crimson velvet breeches of
which there are no less than nine pockets. Among
many of his papers, which remain at Tynninghame
House, one contains a memorandum which throws
a curious light upon the way in which political
matters were then managed in Scotland. This
paper details the heads of a petition in his own
each way, and had a border of trees upon its east
and south sides. Latterly it bore the name of
Thomson?s Green, from the person to whom it
was leased by the Commissioners of Excise.
The Hammerman?s Close, Land, and Hall, adjoined
the site of this edifice on the westward.
The Land was in I 7 I I the abode of a man named
Anthony Parsons, among the last of those who
followed the ancient practice of vending quack

The Excise Office was removed about 1730 from
the Parliament Square to the houge so long occupied
by the Earl of Haddington, which afforded excellent
accommodation for so important a public
institution. The principal room on the second
floor, the windows of which opened to the Cowgate,
was one of great magnificence, having a stucco
ceiling divided into square compartments, each of
which contained an elegant device, and there was
also much fine paneling. At the back of the
house, extending to where the back of Brown
Square was built, and entered by a gate from the
Candlemaker Row, it measured nearly zoo feet
October of that year he advertised in the Scofs Postman-?
It being reported that Anthony Parsons
is gone from Edinburgh to mount public stages in
the country, this is to give notice that he hath left
off keeping stages, and still lives in the Hammerman?s
Land, near the head of the Cowgate, where
may be had the Orvicton, a famous antidote against
infectious distempers, and helps barrenness,? &c
Four years subsequently Parsons-an Englishman,
of course-announced his design of bidding adieu
to Edinburgh, and in that prospect offered his quack
medicines at reduced rates, and likewise, by auction,
?a fine cabinet organ.?
The last of these English quacks was Dr. Green,
gauger, of Doncaster, who made his appearance inated
in the High Street of that town, on the
1st of July, 1572, and James Tweedie, burgess of
Peebles, and four other persons, were tried for the
crime and acquitted. This is supposed to be the

some antique form of this house, the strange
armorial device of the original proprietor, the tradition
of the Catholic chapel, the singular figures
over ?the double dormer window, and Dickison?s
own tragic fate, in the midst of a frightful civil war,
when neither party gave quarter to the other, all
combine to throw a wild and extraordinary interest
over it, and make us greatly regret its removal.?
(? Ancient Arch. of Edin.?)
The peculiar pediment, as well as the sculptured
lintel of the front door, were removed to Coates?
House, and are. now built into different parts of the
northern Wing of that quaint and venerable ch2teau
in the New Town.
In the middle of the last century, and prior to
1829, a court of old buildings existed in the Cowgate,
on the ground now occupied by the southern
piers of George IV. Bridge, which were used as
the Excise Office, but, even in this form, were
somewhat degraded from their original character,
for there resided Thomas Hamilton of Priestfield,
Earl of Melrose in 1619, and first Earl of Haddington
in 1627, Secretary of State in 16~2, King?s
Advocate, and Lord President of the Court of
Session in 15 92.
He rented the house in question from Macgill of
Rankeillor, and from the popularity of his character
and the circumstance of his residence, he
was endowed by his royal master, King James,
whose chief favourite he was, with? the sobriquet of
Tarn d the Cowgate, under which title he is better
remembered than by his talents as a statesman or
his Earldom of Haddington.
He was famous for his penetration as a judge,
his industry as a collector of decisionsAswing
up a set of these from 1592 to i6q-and his
talent for creating a vast fortune. It is related of
him, in one of many anecdotes concerning him,
communicated by Sir Walter Scott to the industrious
author of the ?? Traditions of Edinburgh,?,
that, after a long day?s hard labour in the public
service, he was one evening seated with a friend
over a bottle of wine near a window of his house
in the Cowgate, for his ease attired in a robc de
chrnbre and slippers, when a sudden disturbance
was heard in the street. This turned out to be a
bicker, one of those street disturbances peculiar to
the boys of Edinburgh, till the formation of the
present police, and referred to in the Burgh Records
so far back as 1529, anent ?gret bikkyrringis
betwix bairns;? and again in 1535, when they
wefe to be repressed, under pain-of scourging and
banishment.
On this occasion the strife with sticks and stones
was between the youths of the High School and
those of the College, who, notwithstanding a bitter
resistance, were driving their antagonists before
them.
The old Earl, who in his yduth had been a High
School boy, and from his after education in Paris,
had no sympathy for the young collegians, rushed
into the street, rallied the fugitives, and took such
an active share in the combat that, finally, the High
School boys-gaining fresh courage upon discovering
that their leader was Tam 0? the Cowgate, the
great judge and statesman-turned the scale of
victory upon the enemy, despite superior age and
strength. The Earl, still clad in his robe and slippers,
assumed the command, exciting the lads to the
charge by word and action. Nor did the hubbub
cease till the students, unable by a flank movement
to escape up the Candlemaker Row, were driven
headlong through the Grassmarket, and out at the
West Port, the gate of which he locked, compelling
the vanquished to spend the night in the fields
beyond the walls. He then returned to finish his
flask?of wine. And a rare jest the whole episode
must have been for King James, when he heard of
it at St. James?s or Windsor.
When, in 1617, the latter revisited Scotland,. he
found his old friend very rich, and was informed
that it was a current belief that he had discovered
the Philosopher?s Stone. James was amused with
the idea of so valuable a talisman having fallen
into the hands of a Judge of the Cburt of Session,
and was not long in letting the latter know of the
story. The Earl immediately invited the king,
and all who were present, to dine with him, adding
that he would reveal to them the mystery of the
Philosopher?s Stone.
The next day saw his mansion in the Cowgate
thronged by the king and his Scottish and English
courtiers After dinner, James reminded him of
the Philosopheis Stone, and then the wily Earl
addressed all present in a short speech, concluding
with the information that his whole secret of success
and wealth, lay in two simple and familiar
maxims :-cc Never put off till tomorrow what can
be done today; nor ever trust to the hand of
another that which your own can execute.?
