SERIES OF WATER-COLOUR DRAWINGS of Old Buildings and Views of Glasgow, as existing about the middle of the nineteenth century. By Thomas Fairbairn.
Thomas Fairbairn, the author of this important series of Pictures of Old Glasgow, was a local water-colour painter of good repute, who died at Hamilton in 1884, aged sixty-four years. The drawings were undertaken primarily at the instance of Dean of Guild Bogle of Glasgow, and the greater proportion of them were published in chromo-lithographic reproductions, with letterpress descriptions, in 1849. A few additional views were drawn at a later date, and with the original set, these were included in a re-issue of the work, with plates in black and white by T. and R. Annan of Glasgow in 1885.

COLLECTION OF ROMAN REMAINS, found in 1867 on the lands of Yorkhill, Glasgow, embracing several coins, among them a great brass of Trajan, a silver coin, and some bronze coins. There was also a small quantity of wheat, and fragments of Roman pottery and glass. Yorkhill is an eminence rising from the Kelvin near its confluence with the Clyde. About its summit there were faint traces of earthworks, and in 1867 the ground was dug into and trenched, when the remains enumerated above were unearthed. These remains are assumed to indicate that there was planted on this eminence a small Roman fort or out-station to guard the ford at the junction of the Clyde and Kelvin, by which communication was maintained with the great camp of Vanduara (Paisley), distant little more than four miles from Yorkhill. The soldiers of this small garrison, as well as their supplies, would be drawn from the Paisley camp by way of the ford.
