his reign in 1249. In 1292, he was summoned among the magnates Scotia, to Berwick, on the part of King Robert Bruce, who afterwards gave him his sister, Lady Mary Bruce, in marriage. His son, Sir Colin Campbell, of Lochow, continued faithful to King David, the son of Bruce; and died in 1340. His grandson, Sir Duncan, the first of the family who assumed the name of Argyll, was created a Baron of Parliament-Lord Campbell, of the county of Argyll-in 1445. This Lord was of such consideration, that he received in marriage Lady Margery Stuart, Daughter of Robert, Duke Albany and Regent of Scotland. He died in 1453, and was succeeded by his grandson, Colin, created Earl of Argyll, by James II., in 1457, and Lord of Lorn, in 1478. From 1483, till his decease, in 1492, he held the honourable and important office of Lord High Chancellor of Scotland, &c. The Dukedom of Argyll originated in the year 1701, in the person of Archibald, tenth Earl, the eldest son of that Lord Argyll, who, after his surprising escape into Holland, landed again in Scotland, where he was taken prisoner, and beheaded at the Market Cross, Edinburgh, under a former unjust sentence, for high treason. JOHN, the fifth duke, father of Lady Charlotte Bury, was born in the year 1720. His mother was Lady Mary, daughter of John, second Lord Bellenden. On the 19th of December, 1766, previously to the death of his father, he was created a peer of England, by the title of Baron Sundredge, of Coombank, in the county of Kent, with remainder to the issue male of his brothers Frederick and John. He married, as already observed, in 1795, her Grace Elizabeth, widow of James, Duke of Hamilton. Of this marriage, the fifth child and second daughter was The Lady Charlotte-Susan-Maria Campbell. Her Ladyship married on the 14th of June, 1796, Colonel John Campbell, eldest son of Walter Campbell, Esq., of Shawfield, North Britain. By that gentleman, she had two sons: WALTER-FREDERICK, who succeeded his grandfather, and John-George, who married Ellen, daughter of Sir Fitzwilliam Barrington Bart., and died in 1830, besides six daughters. The eldest, ElizaMaria, espoused, on the 11th of September, 1815, Sir William-Gordon-Cumming Gordon, of Gordonstown, in the county of Elgin, Bart. The second, Eleanora, wedded in 1819, Henry, Earl of Uxbridge, and died in 1828; the third, Beaujolois-Harriet-Charlotte, married, in 1821, Charles-William, Lord Tullamore; the fourth, Emma, married to William, youngest son of Lord William Russell; the fifth, Adelaide, and the sixth, Julia, are unmarried. Colonel Campbell, Lady Charlotte's first husband, having died on the 15th of March, 1809, her Ladyship was again married the 17th of March, 1818, to the Rev. Edward-John Bury, of Litchfield, Hants, son of Edward Bury, late of Iver Lodge, in the county of Bucks, Esq., a descendant in the direct line of Edward Bury, of Bulpham Hall and Raleigh Park, county of Essex, of the Bedchamber of Henry VIII., and holding the above estates by grant of the same monarch, in 1540. He was descended also maternally from Margaret, only daughter of John, third son of the Earl of Morton, who fell at the battle of Fontenoy, 1745. By this marriage, her Ladyship had issue two daughters: -7. Blanche-Augusta, born at Rome, 9th of July, 1819; -and 8. Beatrice-Margaret, born at Pisa, 17th of December, 1820, who died an infant. Mr. Bury died in 1832. LOVE AND DIPLOMACY. Pray pardon me, For I am like a boy that hath found money- Ford or Webster. Ir was a fine September evening, within my time (and I am not, I trust, too old to be loved,) that Count Anatole L-, of the impertinent and particularly useless profession of attaché, walked up and down before the glass in his rooms at the "Archduke Charles," the first hotel, as you know, if you have travelled, in the green-belted and fair city of Vienna. The brass ring was still swinging on the end of the bell-rope, and, in a respectful attitude at the door, stood the just-summoned Signor Attilio, valet and privy-councillor to one of the handsomest coxcombs errant through the world. Signor Attilio was a Tyrolese, and, like his master, was very handsome. Count Anatole had been idling away three golden summer months in the Tyrol, for the sole purpose, as far as mortal eyes could see, of disguising his fine Phidian features in a callow moustache and whiskers. The crines ridentes (as Eneas Sylvius has it,) being now in a condition beyond improvement, Signor Attilio had for some days been rather curious to know what course of events would next occupy the diplomatic talents of his master. After a turn or two more, taken in silence, Count Anatole stopped in the middle of the floor, and eyeing |
