THE DIARY OF JAMES ROBERTSON<br />
1842-1846<br />
INDEX OF PERSONS AND PLACES<br />
All major characters who appear in the Diary are included in the Index, together with an incomplete and more<br />
or less random collection <strong>of</strong> minor characters. References are not to pages but to dates, given in the order<br />
year, month and day; for example, 3 July 1843 appears as 430703. Asterisked dates are <strong>of</strong> greater interest or<br />
importance than others. Double asterisks indicate entries which are entertaining or judged to be <strong>of</strong> peculiar<br />
significance. Dates given in italics refer to days which are not included in the main transcription but are<br />
covered in the summaries <strong>of</strong> JR's doings and whereabouts when away from Argyll. These passages are also<br />
in italics. The existence <strong>of</strong> other trivial references not given in this Index is indicated at the end <strong>of</strong> an entry by<br />
the abbreviation 'et al' for 'et alibi'.<br />
