To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of Dundas, Inglis, & Callander, the first was son to Dundas of Fingask in Stirlingshire, the family from which the Earl of Zetland and Baron Amesbury are descended j the second was a younger son of Sir John Inglis of Cra- mond, and succeeded to that baronetage, which, it may be remarked, took its rise in an Edinburgh merchant of the seventeenth century. Another eminent cloth-dealing firm, Hamilton & Dalrymple, com- prehended John Dalrymple, a younger brother of the well-known Lord Hailes, and a... great grandson of the first Lord Stair; he was at one time Master of the Merchant Company. In a fourth firm, Stewart, Wallace, & Stoddart, the leading partner was a son of Stewart of Dunearn. The leading wine-merchants and bankers of those days were also men of family ; but this, of course, is the less worthy of remark, as it con- tinues in some degree to be the case at the present day. That so many landed families amongst us have descended from Edin- burgh merchants is no singular fact, for trade efflorescing into nobility is an old phenomenon in the south.
