The treble asterisk (* * *) applies to three nominations which, from various printed sources, including Dean Walker’s Life of Bishop fohn Skinner of Aberdeen, are known to have been made by Balliol on the recommendation of that Bishop, but of which no manuscript record has been discovered. The List of Exhibitioners, in so far as nominated by Glasgow, may be taken as complete, and it is believed that all the Oxford nominations have likewise been ascertained, though, in the absence of a systematic inspection of the Balliol Records (which was found to be impracticable), this cannot absolutely be guaranteed. As regards biographical and genealogical details, a large number of family histories and individual biographies have been laid under contribution, and many dates and facts have been ascertained from Death Registers, Calendars, Directories, Old Newspapers, Tombstones, and such like. In addition the following, among others, have been more or less exhaustively utilised : The Dictionary of National Biography. The Imperial Dictionary of Universal Biography. Men of the Time. Who’s Who. The Annual Register. The Scots Magazine. The Gentleman’s Magazine. Anderson’s Scottish Nation. Chambers’ Lives of Illustrious and Distinguished Scotsmen. Glasgow, Past and Present. Memoirs and Portraits of One Hundred Glasgow Men. The Old Country Houses of the Old Glasgow Gentry. Catalogue of the Old Glasgow Exhibition, 1894. Crockford’s Clerical Directories. Scott’s Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae. Catalogues of the Graduates of Edinburgh University. Officers and Graduates of University and King’s College, Aberdeen. Records of the Marischal College and University of Aberdeen. Debrett’s and other Peerages. Douglas’ Baronage. Burke’s Landed Gentry. Oliver & Boyd’s Edinburgh Almanacs. Most of the living Exhibitioners have courteously furnished all information asked for regarding themselves, and valuable particulars have been supplied
