> Competition - Who Am I?
> ------------------------------------------------------------
> See if you can work out the identity of the philosopher from the
> cryptic description below. Like last month, the first correct entry
> to Jane Williamson([log in to unmask]) will win a £50 Thoemmes
> Press book token. The solution will be in next month's newsletter.
>
> He was born in the Highlands and had a particular fondness for
> Culloden. In his youth he was known as one of the 'greatest bouzers'
> [sic] in the North: he apparently left his mother's body behind at
> her funeral. He later reformed, or said he did. When young he made
> great progress in Latin and later in Hebrew, was in general a
> considerable linguist, and pursued a legal career of great
> distinction. He was loyal in 1715, entertained the chieftains in
> 1745 himself again remaining loyal though he was referred to by
> Butcher Cumberland as 'that old woman who talked to me about
> humanity'. He wrote against Tindal and in defence of revealed
> religion, though a translation into French was not a great success.
> A modern namesake wrote extensively on the Scottish Enlightenment
> from an East Anglian angle.
>
> And here's the answer to last month's Who Am I? competition: Daniel
> Waterland
>
> To see the full solution to last month’s competition please visit

>
> The winner was Professor A. M. C. Waterman, Director of the
> University of Manitoba Institute for the Humanities.
>
> Our other competition winners from last month were David White in
> New Hampshire, USA & Innes Kennedy in Ayrshire, Scotland.
> Congratulations.
