[Footnote 6: The addition of one drachm of acetic acid much facilitates
the easy application of the albumen to the paper; but it is apt to

_Anderson's Royal Genealogies_ (Vol. viii, p. 198.).--In reply to your
correspondent G., I may be permitted to remark that it is generally
understood that _no_ "memoir or biographical account" is extant of Dr.
James Anderson; but _short notices_ of him and his works will be found
on reference to the _Gentleman's Magazine_, vol. liii. p. 41.; Chalmers'
_General Biographical Dictionary_, 1812; Chambers' _Lives of Illustrious
Scotsmen_, 1833; _Biographical Dictionary of the Society of Useful
Knowledge_, 1843; and also in Rose's _New Biographical Dictionary_, 1848.
