   Extractions: Thomas Muir, the son of a hop merchant, was born in Glasgow on 25th August 1765. He began attending Glasgow Grammar School in 1770 and at the age of ten was admitted to Glasgow University . Thomas Muir's parents were Calvinists and at their request he embarked upon the study of divinity. However, in 1782 he abandoned his studies for the Church and began attending the classes of John Millar, one of Britain's first sociologists. Millar was a republican and a supporter of parliamentary reform and had a profound influence on the development of Muir's political ideas. In 1783 Thomas Muir became involved in a conflict with the Principal of Glasgow University when he organised a petition against the suspension of Professor John Anderson. As a result of his campaign to have Anderson reinstated, Muir was expelled from the university. With the help of Millar, Muir finished his studies at

   Extractions: Thomas Muir was the son of George Muir from Stonebyres, near Lanark, in Scotland. George was a shoemaker in Biggar and it was in that town, about 15km from the town of Thomas's birth, that Thomas was brought up. He attended an independent school in Wishaw, about half way between Biggar and Glasgow, and there his favourite subject was Greek. Thomas entered the University of Glasgow intending to study his favourite subject of Greek. Indeed he started on a classics course, showing outstanding ability in Greek, but Thomson (later Lord Kelvin) recognised his genius for mathematics and persuaded him to study that subject. Many years later Muir recalled his days at Glasgow University, saying:- I remember Lord Kelvin showing me the first gramophone. He also considered Kelvin as a great man saying:- ... the great man I define as the man who does not alter, who always has control, who alters others.

   Extractions: Subject: Group grading Author: ATHOMAS@bentley.edu Date: 28 Jan 97 14:28:40 -0500 (EST) Like several other list members, when I have students work in groups, I still grade each student as an individual (although their ability to handle group work is part of their grade). I have tried having the students grade each other's work (within each group), but haven't had much success. The students don't like it, and they tend to just give everyone in the group high marks or if there is a group member who is disliked, they mark that person down regardless of his or her contributions. For my current group project, I am asking each group to turn in a written summary, signed by all group members, listing what contributions each person made and I will take this into account when grading.

   Extractions: Thomas Muir The first Convention of the Scottish Friends of the People opened in Edinburgh on 11 December 1792. Over 150 delegates representing 150 societies from 35 towns and villages attended. Their aim was to draw up a petition to send to the British Parliament in support of electoral reform. Thomas Muir, a Glasgow barrister with a reputation as a man of principle, had helped organise many of the societies. He had also, before the Convention, been in contact with the United Irishmen movement, a group of professional men in Dublin also bent on political reform. Against the advice of his colleagues, Muir read an address the United Irishmen had sent which urged the Edinburgh Convention to 'openly, actively and urgently' will Parliamentary reform. "I am accused of sedition and yet can prove by thousands of witnesses that I warned the people of that crime, exhorted them to adopt none but measures which were constitutional, and entreated them to connect liberty with knowledge and both with morality." The trial lasted sixteen hours, the evidence heard by five judges and a jury. But the proceedings were dominated bv Lord Braxfield, of whom Lord Cockburn wrote:

    Extractions: The French Revolution in 1789 proved to be a catalyst that showed up the latent antagonism in the Scottish People. In particular, the poor labouring peoples, many of who were ousted from the land by agricultural improvements, or the weavers who were forced to endure wage cuts with the onset of machinery. For people such as these, the events in France were an inspiration. Thomas Paine published the first part of his book, The Rights of Man , in 1791 and immediately became a hero. The book sold over a million copies and was even translated into Gaelic. In 1792 an émigré Scottish shoemaker, named Thomas Hardy, formed the London Corresponding Society, That same year, Societies of Friends of the People sprung up throughout Scotland attracting professional as well as artisan members. Thomas Muir, a barrister, who had become a member of the Honourable Faculty of Advocates in 1787 aged only 22, was the leading light of the Glasgow society. Muir had many contacts in the French revolutionary government and was a great friend of the Girondist leader, La Fayette. It was therefore due to Muir that communications were exchanged with the French that led to their appointing Citoyen Pétry as "agent de la marine et du commerce" in Scotland in October 1792 to report on the conditions there. As a direct result of his findings, by December, the French Government had decided that France would spare no expense to support a republican insurrection in both Scotland and Ireland and on December 14, a resolution was passed to this effect.

    Extractions: Thomas Fyshe Palmer, the son of a Bedfordshire landowner, was born in August 1747. After being educated at Eton and Queen's College, Cambridge , he became a curate at Leatherhead in Surrey. Palmer came under the influence of the radical preacher, Joseph Priestley . Palmer became dissatisfied with the doctrines of the Church of England and moved to Montrose in Scotland where he joined a group of Unitarians who had opened a chapel in the town. For the next few years Thomas Fyshe Palmer toured Scotland making speeches and helping to form Unitarian groups. He played an active role in the campaign in Scotland for religious toleration. Palmer also wrote and published pamphlets on his religious views. As well as Unitarian tracts, Palmer wrote pamphlets advocating parliamentary reform and universal suffrage.

    Extractions: Muir, Thomas Otter Muir was a man of noble character and ideals, who had the misfortune to be tried before a hostile jury and bench of judges at a time of popular excitement. Lord Cockburn begins his account of his trial with the words: "This is one of the cases the memory whereof never perisheth. History cannot let its injustice alone" ( An Examination of the Trials for Sedition ). The only mitigating circumstances were that Muir was able to engage a cabin on his way to Australia, and that while there he was able to live quietly in retirement and was not treated as a convict. He has been referred to as the author of The Telegraph; a Consolatory Epistle from Thomas Muir, Esq., of Botany Bay, to the Hon. Henry Erskine late Dean of the Faculty , which has also been called the first publication of verse written in Australia. It was neither written by Muir nor in Australia. Muir had left Australia long before he could have heard of the matters referred to in the pamphlet. In Australia Muir is possibly only known to students of history, though it is sometimes stated that Hunter's Hill, a suburb of Sydney, was named after a property he had of that name. His farm, however, appears to have been near Milson's Point. There is a monument on Calton Hill, Edinburgh, to the men generally known as "The Scottish Martyrs", which was erected in 1844. Muir's name appears first on the list, and a short quotation from one of his speeches is also engraved on the stone.

    Extractions: Clan Muir T he name means 'living by a moor or heath'. The future King Robert II married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan, in 1346. Ten years later the marriage was challenged, possibly on the grounds of there being a degree of consanguinity between them, and a dispensation was sought from the Pope. This was granted in 1347, when the legitimacy of their children, including the future King Robert III, was formally acknowledged. Sir William Mure of Rowallan (d. 1616) married Elizabeth, sister of the poet Alexander Montgomerie (1545-98), but the male Rowallan line ended in 1700 on the death of their great-grandson.
