Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 42: July-December, 1837
Among my father's private memoran da 1 find a curious paper, describing the state of parties while Mr Addington was in power. Exclusive of minor sections, they amounted to no less than seven, namely, the friends of the King and his Minister, occupying a central position, with those of Mr Pitt, Lord Melville, and Lord Grenville on the one hand, and on the other those of the Prince of Wales and Mr Fox. In the King's party were inclu ded many members of both Houses, who: from motives of personal esteem, of pri vate interest, or of political expediency, were anxious to support the government of George Ill., whoever might be his Counsellors. The Grenville party, or New Opposition, took the lead in the attack upon the Minister, and received occasional support from Mr Pitt, who, at the same time, maintained privately a connexion with several members of the Cabinet, in particular with Mr Addington, Lord Hawkesbury, and Lord Castlereagh. So eager were the Grenvilles for the return of Mr Pitt to office, that they afiirmcd any man to be a public enemy who kept him out; a strange declaration,' observes Sir John, considering who the person is that can alone replace him.' Lord Melville, it was understood, would carry with him about thirty members if he joined the Ad ministration. The friends of the Prince of Wales, headed by Lord Moira, were a numerous body, but their real strength did not appear, as his Royal Highness would not at that time take an active part in po tities.

Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 42: July-December, 1837
This state of ignorance Sir John Sinclair determined should no longer exist. In his own person he collected all possible information on the subject, and stimulated all within the sphere of his influence to similar exertions. The result was the establishment of an As sociation for the improvement of Bri tish Wool, of which he was elected president. The good efl'ected by this society was very great. Specimens of sheep of all breeds were procured, and no exertion of influence, or expendi ture of money, was spared which could render the collection complete. King George the Third gave the society his warm patronage and support, and pre sented them with specimens of rams from the royal flocks, and in the course of one year from its commencement, the association, by gift or purchase, accumulated about 800 sheep, natives of all countries, from Abyssinia to Sweden, from Shetland to New South 'vales.
