His lectures to working men, given ~fl 1863 in the Museum of Practical Geology, formed the nucleus of his famous Physical Geology and Geography of Great Britain (5th ed., 1878; 6th ed., by H. B. Woodward, 1894). He received a Royal medal in 1880 from the Royal Society, of which he became a fellow in 1862; he was also the recipient of the Neil prize of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1866, and of the Wollaston medal of the Geological Society of London in 1871.

Olga's Gallery Allan Ramsay Allan Ramsay, Scottish portrait painter, was the eldest son of the poet Allan Ramsay (1685-1758). He was trained in Italy, and worked first in Edinburgh. From 1757, when he painted his first portrait of George III , then Prince of Wales, Ramsay was increasingly in demand as a royal portraitist. In 1762, he settled in London, and in 1767 was appointed portrait painter to George III. Though this appointment provided generous and steady income, it brought Ramsay to the decline of his artistic individuality. All his best works were fulfilled before the royal appointment. His style used to be simple and delicate, he especially excelled in portraits of women. As he had a lot of commissions for royal portraits, he had to drop the rest of his practice. Also his art weakened, the painting became like a mechanical process for him, until an accident to his arm in 1773 prevented him from painting altogether. Ramsay’s best paintings however will always be among the supreme achievements of British art. Notes Janet Dick – in 1736 she secretly married her cousin, Alexander Dick, Ramsay’s companion in Italy, later Sir Alexander Dick Cunnynghame of Prestonfield.

RAMSAY, Allan (b. 1713, Edinburgh, d. 1784, Dover) Prince George Augustus of Mecklenburg-Strelitz c. 1769 Oil on canvas, 127 x 101,6 cm Royal Collection, Windsor Prince George of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1748-85) was the younger brother of Queen Charlotte. The portrait was probably painted when the prince was in London between November 1768 and August 1769. He is shown wearing the uniform of an officer of Cuirassiers, a unit of the 4th Regiment of Austrian-Salzburg Dragoons or 'Serbellonis' of which he was later Colonel from 1778 to 1786. He attained the rank of Major-General in the Austrian army. The portrait, which was presumably painted for Queen Charlotte, is a late work by Ramsay characterised by looser brushwork combined with the gentle colouring associated with the artist. There is a certain firmness in the drawing which attests to Ramsay's skill as a draughtsman, a facility apparent in his numerous drawings (Edinburgh, National Gallery of Scotland). The pale transparent flesh tones were the result of applying grey-green strokes over a red underpainting, while in the background the landscape appears to be veiled in mist. It is a romantic portrait with a mood of quiet heroism. The evenness of the paint, the muted light, the silvery tone, the attention to detail, and the quite outstanding rendering of different textures create a feeling of calm that is in contrast with Prince George's love of soldiering. The head and shoulders have been painted on a separate piece of canvas that has been set into a larger piece, a practice much favoured by the artist.

28. SLAINTE allan ramsay was born in the remote Lanarkshire village of Leadhills in 1685. http://www.slainte.org.uk/scotauth/ramsadsw.htm

Allan Ramsay Poet Allan Ramsay was born in the remote Lanarkshire village of Leadhills in 1685. Around 1704 he moved to Edinburgh and became an apprentice wigmaker. Completing his apprenticeship in 1709, Ramsay became a Burgess the following year and opened a shop in the Grassmarket. During this period Scotland was in a sad state of decline. Politically weakened by the Act of Union (1707) she was also in danger of cultural domination by England. Ramsay, a strong nationalist, became increasingly involved in Edinburgh intellectual and literary circles from 1710 on. In 1712 he co-founded the Easy Club a society with strong Jacobite leanings which met to discuss literature and politics. Many of Ramsay's early poems received their first public airing when read aloud to club members. Although sympathetic to the cause, Ramsay had no involvement in either the 1715 or 1745 Jacobite uprisings. By 1720 Ramsay's interest in literature was such that he abandoned wigmaking and became a bookseller. In 1725 he moved to premises in the High Street where he opened what is generally regarded as Britain's first circulating library. By this time he had become a successful poet, publishing his first collection of verse in 1721 and second in 1728. Ramsay wrote in both Scots and English but with markedly more success in the former. His English poems owe too obvious a debt to

What this means is that my research is directed at obtaining precise formal descriptions of the way that natural language works. People have studied language for thousands of years. The ability to use language is one of the major distinctions between humans and other intelligent animals, and it is hardly surprising that people have long wanted to know how we do it. Until quite recently, however, most work in this area was rather imprecise. There simply was no way of making theories of language precise, and there was no way of subjecting linguistic theories to detailed extensive tests. It is clear that language can be described at a variety of levels. Languages have

Clans Tartans History Travel ... Feedback Significant Scots Allan Ramsay he indulged and improved his social qualities, he, by taking to wife an excellent woman, Christian Ross, the daughter of a writer in Edinburgh, laid the foundation of a lifetime of domestic felicity. It was in the year 1712, and in the twenty-sixth year of his age, that he entered into the state of matrimony; and the earliest of his productions that can now be traced, is an epistle to the most happy members of the Easy Club, dated the same year. This club originated, as he himself, who was one of its members, informs us, "in the antipathy we all seemed to have at the ill humour and contradiction which arise from trifles, especially those that constitute Whig and Tory, without having the grand reason for it." This club was in fact formed of Jacobites, and the restoration of the Pretender was the "grand reason" here alluded to. In the club every member assumed a fictitious name, generally that of some celebrated writer. Ramsay, probably from the Tatler, which must have been a book much to his taste, pitched upon that of Isaac Bickerstaff, but afterwards exchanged it for that of Gawin Douglas. In the presence of this club, Ramsay was in the habit of reading his first productions, which, it would appear, were published by or under the patronage of the fraternity, probably in notices of its sittings, which would tend to give it celebrity and add to its influence. The elegy on Maggy Johnston seems to have been one of the earliest of his productions, and is highly characteristic of his genius. An Elegy on

RAMPUR BOALIA, or BEULEAH, a town of British India, the administrative headquarters of Rajshahi district in Eastern Bengal and Assam; on the left bank of the Ganges. Pop. (1901) 21,589. It was originally chosen as a commercial factory for the silk trade, which is again being officially encouraged by the agricultural department. The town contains a government college, and an industrial school for sericulture. Most of the public buildings were severely damaged by the earthquake of the I2th of June 1897. There is a daily steamer service on the Ganges. work. A complete edition of his Poems appeared in London n 1731 and in Dublin in 1733. With a touch of vanity he ;xpressed the fear lest " the coolness of fancy that attends advanced years should make me risk the reputation I had acquired." He was already on terms of intimacy with the eading men of letters in Scotland and England. He corresponded with Hamilton of Bangour (q.v.), Somerville (q.v.), ay (q.v.) and Pope. Gay visited him in Edinburgh, and Pope jraised his pastoral—compliments which were undoubtedly responsible for some of Ramsay's unhappy poetic ventures seyond his Scots vernacular. The poet had for many years jeen a warm supporter of the stage. Some of his prologues and epilogues were written for the London theatres. In 1736 ic set about the erection of a new theatre, " at vast expense," in Carrubber's Close, Edinburgh; but the opposition was too strong, and the new house was closed in 1737. In 1755 he retired from his shop to the house on the slope of the Castle Rock, still known as Ramsay Lodge. In this house, called by his friends " the goose-pie," because of its octagonal shape, the poet died on the 7th of January 1758.
