Note 328 — MISCELLANEOUS RECOLLECTIONS A SUPPLEMENTARY CHAPTER BEGUN IN 1826
Reading edition
[Hon. Henry Erskine (1746-1817), second son of Henry David, tenth Earl of Buchan. Lord Advocate in 1783 and 1806. Second brother to Lord Buchan and elder brother of Lord Erskine, whom he greatly resembled, and nearly equalled both in his genius and his foibles. He was almost as vain; in vivacity of parts, suavity of manners, and playfulness of fancy fully equal to him; and in forensic talents and eloquence, though inferior, very like him.—V.H.]
