Anniversary Address. 95 



whole part of the Grecian daughter. Berwick-upon-Tweed was 

 for many years the residence of Sir Patrick ; and he died there ; 

 and his grandson represented the borough in Parliament ; and 

 I feel a little sore at the rough way in which Mr. Macaulay* 

 has handled one, who, for his name as well as for the town's 



sake, was 



" clarum et venerabile nomen 



Gente mea, et multum nostrse quod proderat urbi." 



I console myself with the thought that the Whig historian 

 scarcely does justice to any of the Scotch suiFerers of the period, 

 especially to those of any rank ; and that there are two ways of 

 telling Sir Patrick's story. But the Club have nothing to do 

 with this controversy. 



The last Meeting was held at Longhoughton, on the 4th August 

 last. The following is Mr. Tate's note of that Meeting : —

 Rev. Mr. Rigge, Captain the Hon. Frederick Grey, and Mr. Wil-

 stinguished statesman, Earl Grey, whose remains are interred in 

 a vault below the church. The Members went from thence to 

 Cullernose, and traversed the coast upwards of a mile, examining 

 its geological features. Leaving the coast at the Burn-mouth, 

 they then proceeded to Ratcheugh Crag, where they were much 

 delighted with the extensive and picturesque view, and with the 

 instructive geological facts which it presents. 



" Mr. Embleton noticed Picris hieracioides on the sea-walk 

 near Howick, Samolus valerandi and Carex vulpini at Cullernose, 

 and Arabis hirsuta on Ratcheugh Crag. 



" Mr. Selby mentioned that he had captured for the first time
