XXXVm MEMOIR OF THE AUTHOR. 



distant from the original family burial-place at the old 

 parish church, where most of his ancestors repose. He 

 was succeeded in his estates by his only surviving 

 daughter, Lady Seton Steuart, who had come into pos- 

 session of her maternal property of Touch the year pre- 

 vious to Sir Henry's death, and in his title, by his son- 

 in-law, Reginald Macdonald, Esq. of Staffa, to whom and 

 Sir Henry's daugliter, and their heirs male, the baronetage 

 as formerly mentioned, had been especially limited. The 

 present Sir Henry James Seton Steuart succeeded to 

 the baronetcy on the death of his father in the year 

 1838. Sir Henry left two other grandsons, and two 

 grand-daughters, who, with the exception of his younger 

 grandson, now survive. 



Thus lived and thus died this great and good man, if, 

 at least, true greatness and goodness consist in the habi- 

 tual and honourable discharge of all those duties which 

 were imposed upon him, whether as a proprietor, as a 

 subject, as a member of the church, or in all the ordinary 

 or more peculiar relations of life. On reflection, we 

 think that it will not fail to be admitted, that the state- 

 ment advanced in the commencement of this Memoir, 

 has been fidly illustrated and confirmed; and that a life 

 of country and literary retirement can be made most 

 conducive to individual happiness and public usefulness, 

 whether as a proprietor or a member of the state.
