Sir James Steuart Denham of
|
His full promotion to Lieutenant-General was confirmed in 1798. In 1818 he donated to the Library of his father's University, through the good offices of Robert Ainslie WS, a copy of "Original letters from the Right Honourable Lady Mary Wortly Montagu to Sir James and Lady Frances Steuart ..." (London: 1818); his parents had met and become friendly with Lady Mary Wortly Montagu in Venice. More important, this gift established a link between the Library and the family of Steuart Denham of Coltness which led to the gift of the Coltness papers to the Library by Mrs Katherine Fyfe in 1988. | |
