Until the last few months both the name and the collection were lost to modern Scotland, the last direct member removing from Edinburgh to London in 1800 to study law under his uncle William Adam, Lord Chief Commissioner, of duel fame connected with Charles James Fox. This was James Loch, "the economist," who became M.P. for the Northern Burghs of Scotland, and factor to the Sutherland estates in the early part of last century. The afore-mentioned business care is responsible for the private corre spondence of that ducal family being preserved, one would imagine, in its entirety, and it throws an interesting light upon the political movements of the period. From the time of Queen Mary to the end of the eighteenth century members of the Loch family can be traced as prominent in the affairs of Edinburgh. A grant of land near the Market Cross was made by Mary and NOTES ON BOOKS:-The Growth of the English House' her husband Henry to one Archibald Loch -Reviews and Magazines. Booksellers' Catalogues.

Notes. in 1564; whilst in 1570 another member of the family becomes the recipient of treatment of a totally different nature, he being hung by the Regent Murray in the raid on the Castle of Brechin." Passing to the eventful times of 1633, we find James Loch Town Treasurer of Edinburgh, and for this period the collection THE LOCH COLLECTION OF SCOTTISH supplies an overwhelming number of papers DOCUMENTS. THE above collection, in the possession of Messrs. Darling & Pead, of South Kensington, is evidently the result of the nation's characteristic-business care combined with the love of antiquity-is of exceptional interest, both literary and historical, and is the accumulation of centuries by one family, and handed down as the property of the eldest direct descendant. The last recently deceased-on the death of his father intended to dispose to a general dealer of a number of boxes containing what appeared to harbour so much waste; but the timely persuasion of a friend acting for him in the capacity of estate agent enabled the latter to secure and store in his office basement the whole, to await the owner's pleasure. After some three years it was considered expedient to gain permission to inspect this so-called waste, one result proving the family to be of great antiquity, and through different generations to have occupied considerable prominence, especially in Edinburgh. 66 66 relative to Edinburgh. At a glance we find The Decreat of the Lord Provost, Baillies," &c., on the raising of funds, wherein they did resolve and ordayne his Majesty within the burgh in the most magnifik and soleme manner....the Treasurer to borrow certaine somes for his maj. receptyoun, propyne, banquet," &c., to the amount of 35,000 merkes, this amount being jointly subscribed by Jn. Macnacht, Alexander Clark, Patrick Eleis, and Robert Carnegie. A humorously illustrative sequel to this banquet appears some weeks after in the form of an appeal by one Henry Herper, "tailyour," burgess, who to the Lord Provost, &c., states "that qat his majesteis being here, the good towne haveing invetit a great many Nobilles and Gentillmen to the Bankit, and after dinner, Sundrie of the well disposit Burgeses, for the honor and credit of the good towne, Did accompany a number of these Gentills in a way of merriment to the Abay Close, intentioning there to drink his maj. health," he, Henry Herper, was in consequence called upon by William Moffatt, in the name of the Provost and Baillies, to find wine- her rooster, which had been lent to the boy glasses. These he procured from "Lawrance for his school sport to fight the " Whigs' Stottis booth 22 to the amount of cocks," and which comes with a bell "twenty-nine punds Scottis," "for which around his neck—a badge of victory." payment the said Lawrance Stott does dayly trouble him." This appeal one is pleased to find noted by the Lord Treasurer as paid in full. Another document, consisting of some 52 pages foolscap, is an account of "Money Spent on the Fortification of Leith," together with the names and amounts paid to those employed. This is in 1639, by order of the Committee of Estates; and it is of interest to note that Haydn's Dates,' ed. 1892, gives the 1560 fortification, but does not mention that of 1639, upon which James Loch, commissioned by the Comittie," expended 12,4007. sterling. A MS. rime of 148 lines, entitled The Slow Policie, by The Man of the Moone,' presumably written about 1642, criticizing Charles's Court and advisers, will in all probability be gladly welcomed by the antiquaries of Scotland. 22 66 It is at present only possible to dwell briefly upon any period, for after the many hundreds of papers dealing with the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries one must pass on to a most valuable sequence of the Jacobean, wherein are letters and "calls to arms signed James," and addressed to the Stuarts of Appin, the last written just before Culloden. The flight after Culloden carried these letters to the Continent, where they remained for upwards of thirty years before their apparent secret return to " Anne Stuart, spouse to David Loch, merchant in Leith." At this point the question arises whether it was not David Loch and his wife who aided Ardsheil in his escape from Holland. The present Duke of Argyll in his account of this in Adventures in Legend' mentions a Leith merchant as discovering Ardsheil in an inn in that country, and in the plan of escape the merchant sends for his wife, who arrives to exchange garments, or rather to clothe Ardsheil in hers, and so effect his successful disguise and return to Scotland. The family relationship is here established, which, by the way, is missing from the Jacobite Peerage'; and Ardsheil being a big man, it is possible that Anne Stuart was of a size somewhat corresponding. The continuation of this sequence takes the form of a schoolboy letter, written by John Erskine from school at Edinburgh in 1749 to his aunt Frances Erskine, spouse of James Loch of Drylaw, and accompanying The last of this sequence is by the Earl of Mar in 1824, who in a letter to James Loch, M.P., expresses "the thanks of an old man for the trouble taken and kindness shown in securing the restoration of his title. Here another question arises relative to Burke, who gives the Earl of Mar as joining the Prince of Orange. If there is undeniable proof of this, it seems singular that the title and estates should have been confiscated, had the allegiance been transferred, unless it was after the "Call to Arms letter dated 1715-16, which bears the signatures of both James and "Mar." This would perhaps account for the confiscation, but the restoration not taking place till over a century later, the joining of William seems open to doubt, and the questioning of the point must be allowed as pardonable curiosity. 66 22 The period 1796 to 1809 has already been lightly touched upon in the volumes of Brougham and his Early Friends,' recently issued privately; but it abounds with letters of great literary and political interest awaiting the necessary encouragement for publication, while others deal extensively with Napoleon's threatened invasion. John Wilson Patten (b. 1802) of son Thomas the Wilson, younger formerly Patten, and eventually Wilson Patten of Bank Hall, Warrington. Thomas, the elder son, died at Naples, 28 Oct., 1819, aged eighteen. That in the Subscription Book of the University is : "1821. March 14. Johannes Wilson e Coll. These extracts I have obtained from the The name John attributed to the father should be Thomas. This error is naturally repeated in Foster's Alumni Oxonienses.' The following is an extract from a letter, dated 9 Jan., 1909, from the Rev. W. D. Macray of Ducklington Rectory, Witney :— "I was able to go to Oxford yesterday, and in our College [i.e. Magdalen] MS. Room I looked at a vol. of Dr. Bloxam's valuable collections relating to all members of the College, at a list of Gentleman Commoners, and his entry at the year 1821 is: Wilson, John [Patten], only son of Thomas Wilson, of Wotton Park, co. Staff., matric. 14 Feb., 1821, aged 18.'" As to the difference in date, i.e., between February and March, the Registrar suggests that perhaps John Wilson was admitted as a member of Magdalen College on 14 February, but not presented to the Vice Chancellor and matriculated until 14 March. In 1823, or possibly 1824, Thomas Wilson There is a resumed the name of Patten. tablet in the old Protestant Cemetery at Naples, in memory of his elder son, having the following inscription: "Thomas Patten Wilson died October 28, 1819. Aged 18 years. 12 The father did not, as alleged in books of reference, assume the additional name of Wilson in 1800. On inheriting certain property in Cheshire, i.e., the Manor of Woodchurch, Hundred of Wirral, he took the name of Wilson in lieu of Patten, and the arms and crest of Wilson in lieu of those of Patten, according to a drastic clause in the will (which I have examined at Somerset House) of Thomas Wilson, D.D., Rector of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, and of St. Margaret's, Westminster, Prebendary of Westminster, son of Thomas Wilson, D.D., Bishop of Sodor and Man, who had married In the Patten Chapel in the old parish a sister of Thomas Patten's great-grand-church, Warrington, is a tablet in memory father.

Being a somewhat elaborate of Thomas Patten's grandfather. work of art, presenting in bas-relief two male figures and two female, as well as an urn and torch, it was probably not put up until a considerable time after the death; if before 1823, no doubt Thomas Wilson had already determined to resume his old name, and to call himself Wilson Patten, This change, when the opportunity came. without loss of the Wilson (Cheshire) estate, was feasible in 1823, when John (afterwards Lord Winmarleigh) came of age. sons In or about 1800 this Thomas Patten became Thomas Wilson. His two Thomas and John (Lord Winmarleigh) were at Eton in 1817 as Wilson major and minor (see Stapylton's Eton School Lists from 1791 to 1850, 2nd ed., 1864, PP. 90, 91). On 14 March, 1821 (the elder son Thomas having died in 1819), John went to Magdalen College, Oxford. At this time Peter Patten Bold was in possession of Bank Hall, and Thomas Wilson, his younger and only surviving brother, lived at Wotton Park, or, as it has been for many years called, Wooton Lodge, The latter near Ellaston, Staffordshire. was M.P. for Stafford Borough 1812-18, bearing the surname Wilson only. The entry in the Matriculation Register of the University is :— "1821.-March 14. Johannes Wilson, 18, Johannis de Wotton Park in Com. Staffordiæ. arm. fil. unic." The following is from William Williams Mortimer's History of the Hundred of Wirral,' 1847, p. 283, s.v. 'Woodchurch': "Dr. Wilson, who died the 15th April, 1784, by his will, dated at Bath, 1779, bequeathed his property in this parish to Thomas Macklin of Derby, Esq., with remainder, in default of male issue, to Thomas, second son of Thomas Patten of Bank Hall in the county of Lancaster, Esq., upon condition of assuming the name, arms, and crest of Wilson only. On the entail being barred in the year 1823, Mr. Wilson resumed the surname and arms of Wilson after Patten [sic] and his eldest son and heir, John Wilson Patten of Bank Hall, Esq., one of the representatives in Parlia-p. 216), who died in 1755, aged 91, should ment for the northern division of Lancashire, is at present lord of the manor of Woodchurch." A foot-note refers to the genealogical collections of Thomas Douning Hibbert, of the Middle Temple, Esq. In the above there can be little doubt that "Wilson after Patten" should be "Patten after Wilson." In Paterson's Roads,' 16th ed., 1822, p. 481, col. 1, appears Wooton Lodge, Col. Wilson." This is repeated ibid., col. 3, and p. 482, col. 3. In the 18th ed., 1826, pp. 483, 484, is "Wooton Lodge, T. W. Patten, Esq." In the 16th ed., 1822, p. 442, is, s.v. Warrington,' Bank Hall, unoccupied (Peter Patten Bold, elder brother of Thomas Wilson, died in 1819 without male issue); In the 18th ed., p. 444, is, s.v. Warrington,' "Bank Hall, Thomas Wilson Patten, Esq." I have examined the Warrington ratebook, and found 1822. 1821. Thomas P. Wilson, Esq. Thomas Wilson, Esq. Thomas Wilson, Esq. 1824. Thomas Patten, Esq. 1823. It is apparent that he resumed his original name in 1823 (or possibly early in 1824). Paterson's No doubt the particulars for have troubled himself about a change of name which was to affect a man born in 1770, and which was made a condition of inheritance of an estate which never belonged to him, but was bought by his son. 66 Thomas Wilson (formerly Patten, and afterwards Wilson Patten) married, 1800, Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Nathaniel Hyde, Esq., of Ardwick (not Urdwick, as given in the Dict. of Nat. Biography'). It is asserted that his son John (Lord travelled for some years, Winmarleigh) but returned in 1830." He was married to his first cousin, Anna Maria, a daughter of Peter Patten Bold, formerly Patten, 15 April, 1828, at St. George's, Hanover Square (see Gentleman's Magazine, 1828, By her," it is asserted, pt. i. p. 362). "he left a son Eustace John." The said Eustace John died more than eighteen years before his father. 66 There were two sons and four daughters. The born 1841, Arthur, younger son, Lieut. 1st Batt. Rifle Brigade, died unmarried at Quebec, The elder, 1866. Eustace John (born 1836, died 1873), Capt. 1st Life Guards, married in 1863 Emily Constantia, daughter of the Rev. Lord John Thynne. By her he had one son Roads had to be gathered a considerable-John Alfred, born 1867, Lieut. 1st Life Guards, who died unmarried in 1889time before the date of publication. two daughters: Constance Ellinor, and who married, 1892, Col. the Hon. Osbert Victor G. A. Lumley; and Evelyn Louisa, who married, 1896, the Hon. Charles Harbord. Presumably Thomas Macklin assumed the name of Wilson in lieu of Macklin, and died without male issue in or about 1800. It is, I think, worth noting that nowhere in the Patten chapel-whether on the tablets or on the monument in memory of Anna Maria (wife of John Wilson Patten), who died 1846, and of the same John Wilson Patten, Lord Winmarleigh, who died 1892-is there a hyphen between the two surnames Wilson and Patten, excepting on the brass recording the names and dates of those buried in the vault, including Lord Winmarleigh, and further recording that the vault was filled up and finally closed 14 July, 1892." 66 As to the allegation, e.g. in Burke's Commoners,' that Thomas Patten" assumed the additional surname of Wilson at the request of the Bishop of Sodor and Man, and by the testamentary injunction of his lordship's son," I have, I think, shown that Wilson was taken in lieu of Patten; and further, I have found no evidence beyond the modern assertion that the Bishop had any concern in the matter. Indeed, it is scarcely likely that one of " the poorest prelates in Europe (see History of the Hundred of Wirral,' Lord Winmarleigh had four daughters: Anna Maria (died s.p. 1869), married to the Rev. Robert Rolleston; Ellinor; Vanda (died s.p. 1861), married to Thomas Henry Lyon of Appleton Hall, Cheshire; and Elizabeth. Beside the bust of Lord Winmarleigh by G. Bromfield Adams in the Warrington Museum, there is one by Warrington Wood in the Town Hall, a poor production. ROBERT PIERPOINT. St. Austins, Warrington. |
