Autobiographical Notes. 187 



Singapore. A son of the latter, Thomas Murray Robertson, 

 mentioned above, graduated in medicine at Edinburgh University 

 in 1887. 



Dr Trotter writes of Mr Murray as follows : — " His friendly 

 help to Gallovidians who settled in or visited Edinburgh — 

 students and others — could always be counted on. He ^ was a 

 kind, generous, and helpful friend, and at his hospitable house a 

 hearty welcome was always assured to each.'^^ The writer of the 

 obituary notice in the Scotsman of April 16, 1872, says: — 

 " He was a sagacious, kindly, social man, who made many friends 

 and did good work in his time." These sentiments appear to 

 represent the general opinion of those who were acquainted with 

 Mr Murray. With regard to his published works it may be said 

 that he was a useful writer rather than a profound scholar. 



His library was sold in Chapman's Rooms in Hanover Street, 

 Edinburgh, on Thursday, November 7, 1872. The books, num- 

 bering some 400 Jots, belonged mainly to the class described by 

 auctioneers as "general literature," and included nothing of very 

 special interest.
