1 66 COLONEL JOHN JOHNSTONE opportunity. My wife had begun a letter to my sister but wither she will finish it or not I cannot say company having come in upon her too. She begs her sincerest service may be acceptable to you." To the misfortune of his stepsons, Colonel John Johnstone died in Jamaica in 1741, of wounds received when commanding a battalion in an expedition to Carthagena.
CHAPTER XVI. Young Galabank—The Church of Scotland—The Third Marquis of Annandale —He Presents to Moffat—William Johnstone's Death in the West Indies —Carlile of Antigua—Scottish Pharmacy—The Rising in 1745—Dumfriesshire Men who Assisted Prince Charles—The Chevalier Johnstone. A RECENT writer on the social state of Scotland says " : Never did the Church take so high a place as in 1750 to 1770." 1 Among those who helped to raise it to that level was Galabank's eldest son, Edward. The death of the little sisters who had been his playfellows, and of two still younger before he was eleven, gave him a sober turn of mind, so he was early destined to be a minister—at that time quite as influential a post in Scotland as a Roman priest in Ireland, but by no means a lucrative one. The Presby- terian had so recently been established as the Kirk of Scotland, and ousted the Episcopalian, that its leaders resolved to keep up a high standard for their clergy, and a nine years' study and strict probation was required before the ministerial call, and Hebrew and Greek were obligatory. As to Latin, the lectures were delivered in it, and it had to be spoken in the College precincts. Edward Johnstone's instructor before he went to College was Mr Howie, the Annan minister, from whom he learned French, as well as Latin and Greek. He matriculated at the Edinburgh University when he was sixteen, and, being an eloquent probationer of divinity, he preached several times in the College Chapel before the Professors when he was still under twenty. He took his degree of M.A. in 1739, being already tutor to Richard and Charles, the sons of the Marchioness of Annandale and her second husband, Colonel Johnstone, and he gave lessons to the sons of her first marriage, George, third Marquis of Annandale, and Lord John Johnstone. 2 While so employed he lived at 1 Grahame. 2 " These gentlemen," wrote his brother in 1799, " were uncommonly fortunate in their tutor, for with great literary talents, with genius, and the liberal manners of a gentleman, my brother had the highest sense of truth, justice, honour, and piety. . . . I owe much to his example, and sincerely honour his memory as my benefactor and as an honour to his family." This was not only a brother's partial estimate ; " Fasti Eccles. Scotiae" says of him : " In person he was tall and graceful. He was superior in talents, manners, and conversation, and by his knowledge and elocution was an animated and popular preacher, as well as a diligent, zealous, and faithful pastor. His sermon on the death of George II. was the only one printed in Scotland."
