   User ID: N187.

  General Notes:

"The service done by him (Thomas Innes) to the historical literature of his country by the publication of the Critical Essay is well known ; but his labours, and the benefits we owe to them, are by no means to be measured by that work, and those already referred to by name. Next to his religious and professional duties , he devoted himself to researches in Scottish history and antiquities , and the results of his inquiries were always freely available to every one who requested his assistance ."
