13. At Dunnichen, co. Forfar, 

 in his 86th year, George Dempster, 

 Esq. born at Dundee, M'here his 

 grandfather and father acquired 

 considerable fortunes by trade. 

 Chusing the Scotch law for his 

 profession, he was admitted a 

 member of the faculty of advo- 

 cates in Edinburgh. In 1762 he 

 quitted that profession for the 

 senate; and having been elected 



f 



representative of the district of 

 boroughs with which his family 

 were particularly connected, he 

 became so acceptable to his con- 

 stituents, that he was returned 

 for four successive parliaments, 

 and did not voluntarily withdraw 

 till 1790. As a member of the 

 House of Commons, he was 

 always heard with extraordinary 

 attention, principally owing to 

 the integrity of his character, 

 which impressed his hearers that 

 he was not influenced by any 

 mean or paltry consideration. He 

 was always eager to embark in 

 any scheme that promised to pro- 

 mote the prosperity of his native 

 land ; and he was one of the first 

 to engage in a society for ex- 

 tending the fisheries of Scotland, 

 in which he was chosen one of 

 the directors. He was also the 

 first person who taught his coun- 

 trymen the art of packing their 

 fresh salmon in ice, by which 

 means it may be sent to a good 

 market in the British metropolis. 

 As a scholar, a man of science, 

 and a man of true benevolence, 

 few men are entitled to higher 

 claims than Mr. Dempster, of 

 Dunnichen.
