James Hogg (1770-1835) was a self-taught Scottish poet and novelist, widely known as the "Ettrick Shepherd", and some later publications were published under that nickname. Scottish Pastorals, Hogg's first collection of pastoral ballads was produced entirely from memory after he was delivering sheep to market in Edinburgh, without access to his manuscripts, and printed by stationer John Taylor whose premises were opposite the sheep market. His poems contained much energy and were inspired by the pastoral tradition of Allan Ramsay and Robert Burns. He met Sir Walter Scott in 1802 and the two became life-long friends.

Relatively unknown during the Middle Ages, Tacitus, whose works were first printed in Venice about 1473 and several times reprinted before the end of the century, exercised great influence on Renaissance historians. Justus Lipsius (1547-1606), the Netherlands scholar, knew the whole of Tacitus by heart, and his great edition (here cited), nineteen times reprinted, is one of the monuments of sixteenth-century scholarship. In a life much vexed by the violence of governments, he found much, as his notes declare, in common with Tacitus's ironic and cynical records of first-century Rome." (PMM).

After 208 days the vessel reached Tahiti, landing seventeen missionaries there, a further twelve at Tonga, and one on the Marquesas ... Several of the missionaries settled in Australia and founded families important in Australian history. The Duff proceeded from Tonga through the Fiji and Caroline Groups to Canton. In the course of this voyage the Duff Group was discovered and named and the knowledge of Pacific geography considerably extended' (Ferguson).
