John Douglas, it may be noticed that he is the " Gander/' who is made to assume a prominent ^^osition in the "Noctes Ambrosianse " of Blackwood. His chambers, in company with Mr. Hugh Ferguson, were on the south side of Hutcheson Street. He was well known as a wit, and considered the best punster in Glasgow. On visiting one day the Mechanics' Library, his eye rested on the volume of Tom Moore, " The Love of the Angels. " The " ' Love of the Angles ' surely must have been meant for this place, "... quoth the humourist. * He was very handsome, for which reason he received the name of "Adonis, " but in respect of a fault in his lower extremities, always wore very broad cloth pantaloons, and he used to remark it was his " loose habits. '' One day, on entering the Tontine Reading-Room, at the Cross, he was followed by a little cur. " Is this your dog?" inquired the keeper. " No, " answered the wit, "you should know I am Dogless (Douglas). " He took great interest in furthering the agitation preceding the Reform Act (still called the Reform Bill) in 1832.
