MEMOIR OF SIR THOMAS MAKDOUGALL BRISBANE. 605 
To the Royal Society of Arts he also presented a similar token of his zeal for 
practical science. 
During the latter years of his life he resided on his patrimonial estate at 
Brisbane, devoting his whole time to science and philanthropy. For the educa- 
tion of the young he always displayed a deep solicitude; and the Brisbane 
Academy at Largs, which he endowed, will ever be a monument of his en- 
lightened zeal and munificence. 
He died at Brisbane on the 27th January 1860, in the same room in which 
he was born eighty-seven years before, regretted and beloved by all who esteem 
bravery and science, and the best graces of the Christian character.
