The Late Alexander Whitelaw, Esq. , Glasgow: Report of Proceedings at the Presentation of His Portrait to the Corporation of Glasgow on Wednesday, 29th December

Aird & Coghill Ltd., 1881. Hardcover. 20p. Portarirt frontis 20p - 16p biography and 4p subscribers list. This book was sumptuously produced for the subscribers. Whitelaw was born in 1823 in Drumpark in Monklands and was educated at Grange School, Sunderland and then took some time to study mining. In 1846 he married Barbara Forbes Lockhart of Cambusnethan which established a marital connection to the Baird family. The Baird family founded the iron smelting firm of William Baird & Co., in which Whitelaw became a managing partner. The Baird family acquired the Gartsherrie coal fields in 1826 and the mansion and estate in 1834.Through his philanthropy, he left endowments to churches and schools, including helping to found the Gartsherrie Academy, and for the 1863-1864 session he was Vice President of the Academy. Whitelaw's interest in education led him to become Chairman of the Glasgow School Board in 1873. One cartoon shows him having administered a thrashing to John Page Hopps, a fellow Board member with whom he had clashed.In 1863, Whitelaw is recorded in the Curler's Annual as being the President of the Coatbridge Cricket Club. Whitelaw was a Conservative and represented Glasgow as an MP from 1874 until his death in 1879. (Wiki). aeg finely produced, clean and unmarked and little if at all used - but ex-library. Rare.
