Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, Vol. 24: 1899-1901 On our death-roll we have two further names of good friends and literary contributors to the Society - Mr John Murdoch, who died early in February of 1903, and Mr Charles Fergusson, who was accidentally drowned in February of this year at Nairn. Mr Murdoch had entered his 86th year at his demise (born Jan. He was born in Nairnshire, but brought up in Islay, of which island he counted himself a native. He passed his business life in the Inland Revenue service, his final station being Inver ness. Here he started the famous Highlander newspaper in May, 1873, wherein he advocated with fiery enthusiasm the cause of W5 the Highland crofterf He was one of the originators of the Gaelic Society, and did much to help it in its early days. On the demise of the Highlander in 1881, he retired to Glasgow, but his kilted figure could often be seen in after years, as he spoke and exhorted in various parts of the country. Mr Charles Fer gusson was a gardener by profession, but an extremely able and well-informed man, especially in Highland lore. He has written much for our Transactions, and a paper of his has still to appear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
