David Brewster (1781-1868), Scottish physicist who investigated the polarization of light, discovering the law named after him for which he was awarded the Rumford Medal by the Royal Society in 1819. Born in Jedburgh, his education was extended by his friendship with James Veitch of Jedburgh, an amateur astronomer, and he entered the Univeristy of Edinburgh at the age of 14. One of Brewster`s major concerns was increasing the public awareness of the importance of scien e. He edited a number of scientific periodicals and wrote many books and articles on science. He was also instrumental in the foundation of several academic organizations including the Edinburgh School of Arts in 1821, the Royal Scottish Society for Arts in 1821, and the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1831. With James Veitch, Brewster built many optical devices such as microscopies and sundials, developing an expertise that resulted in the invention of the kaleidoscope in 1816. In trying to improve lenses for microscopes, he became interested in optics and particularly in the polarization for light that transverses it. Brewster then sought an expression for the polarization of light by reflection and found, in 1815, that the polarization of a beam of reflected light is greatest when the reflected and refracted rays are at right angles to each other. This is known as Brewster`s Law, and it may be stated in the form that the tangent of the angle of polarization is numerically equal to the refractive index of the reflecting medium when polarization is maximum. Brewster then worked on the polarization of light reflected by metals, and established the new field of optical mineralogy. During the 1820s he studied colour in the optical spectrum and worked on absorption spectroscopy of natural substances. James Veitch (1771-1838) was a self-educated polymath, who while earning his living as a ploughwright, also found the time to dabble in mathematics, mechanics and astronomy. He set up a scientific workshop on the Jedburgh turnpike where he gave lessons to local educated men in these subjects. By the late 1820s he had stopped making ploughs and devoted his time to making telescopes and clocks. His customers for telescopes included Brewster, Sir Walter Scott, the Earl of Hopetoun, the Earl of Minto, and Professor Schumacher of the Altona Observatory in Germany. Veitch`s early encouragement inspired David Brewster to take an interest in scientific matters and, as this correspondence shows, the friendship lasted more than 35 years [the last three letters are undated]. With Veitch`s help, Brewster had made his first telescope by the age of ten. Veitch was known to major public figures such as Walter Scott and Francis Jeffrey, editor the Edinburgh Review and, amongst others, Mary Somerville, also a native of Jedburgh, the first woman to have a work published in the the Royal Society of London`s Philosophical Transactions. Provenance:Veitch family, by descent.

In 1683 Alexander Ogstoun and George Mosman were employed in binding books for the newly formed library of the Faculty of Advocates.

An early twentieth-century note states "This Bible, known for generations as "Peggy Halyburton`s Bible" really belonged to her mother Agnes Campbell of Keithock, known as the Dowager Lady of Pitcur. She was born in 1626, and was the great grand-daughter of Donald, the last Abbot of Cupar, who was the son of Archibald, 2nd Earl of Argyll, killed at Flodden. She married (1) Halyburton of Pitcur, by whom she had two sons. The elder, the Baron of Pitcur, was killed at the Battle of Killiecrankie. She married (2) Halyburton of Denhead, Bishop of Aberdeen, her first husband`s kinsman. At her death the Bible passed to her daughter Margaret, who married Lindsay, the Baron of Wormistoun. It remained in the family of Wormistoun till it was given to Mrs Forbes of Westfied by her cousin in 1804".
