THE DIARY OF JAMES ROBERTSON 

1842-1846 

INDEX OF PERSONS AND PLACES 

All major characters who appear in the Diary are included in the Index, together with an incomplete and more 

or less random collection of minor characters. References are not to pages but to dates, given in the order 

year, month and day; for example, 3 July 1843 appears as 430703. Asterisked dates are of greater interest or 

importance than others. Double asterisks indicate entries which are entertaining or judged to be of peculiar 

significance. Dates given in italics refer to days which are not included in the main transcription but are 

covered in the summaries of JR's doings and whereabouts when away from Argyll. These passages are also 

in italics. The existence of other trivial references not given in this Index is indicated at the end of an entry by 

the abbreviation 'et al' for 'et alibi'.
