The manufacture of cottons was attempted here about 1780, but was not found to succeed, and has long since been given up. The manufacture of thread, for which this town was famous for a period of sixty years, and the manufacture of glass, which employed at one time about a hundred persons, not having been found productive, have been entirely relinquished. The manufacture of linen is now, and for the last fifty years has been, our principal article of trade; its different operations employ the greater part of the population; and Dundee is considered, in regard to this kind of manufacture, the first town in Great Britain.4e:T4cc,page 15 Land-owners. The chief land-owners are the Heirs of the late Alexander Guthrie of Craigie; Lord Douglas of the lands of Clay-pots, Milton, and West Ferry; William Stirling Graham of Dun-truin; David Blair of Craighill; George Kirkaldy of Baldouie; Patrick Kerr of Drumgeills; John Alison of Montpelier; Mungo Dick of Pitkerro; William Brown Constable of the Wallace Craigie; James Lorimer of Kellyfield; David Rankine of Dudhope; David Arklay of Clepington; the Heirs of Alexander Thoms of Wester Clepington; David Hunter of Blackness. But this last estate, as well as those of Logie and Balgay, are said to lie in this parish only quad sacra. None of these, except the lands of Dun-truin and those.on the Douglas estates, have been above 100 years in possession of the family of its present proprietor. Parochial Registers The register of births and baptisms, and that of marriages, both began in 1645, and are continued, without interruption, till the present time. The former occupies six vo-lumes, the latter four volumes. The records of the kirk-session begin in 1682, and come down also to the present time. These registers are regularly and distinctly kept. Antiquities. - A prominent object in the natural4f:T50a,page 18 Spinning-Mills Among the modern buildings in this place, the spinning-mills are not to be overlooked, -upon account of their number, the multitude of persons employed, the capital therein vested, and the profits which from them have been derived. Till within these, last thirty years, the spinning of yarns was effected by hand-wheels, and in this way a great proportion of the female population earned their bread. But about or before that period, attempts had been made to spin flax by means of machinery erected in mills. The attempt was found to sueceed so well, and to do the work so much better and cheaper, and more expeditiously than the former way, that the number of mills has increased in this town during the last twenty years. By this invention the wealth of many individuals has been much increased, the trade being now carried on to a much greater extent than what could possibly have been done in the old way of hand-spinning. It is a question, however, whether the invention has contributed to the improvement of the morals of those employed. Aware of the demoralizing tendency of such great works, not a few of the masters have introduced schools into them, at which the labourers may have the benefit of educa-tion; and in some there are also Sabbath schools.50:T456,At the same time, in regard to the accuracy of this list, it must be stated, that some burials take place in St Andrew's Chapel ground, where no register is kept; and several families of seceders and others do not, from principle or otherwise, always enrol their children's names in the parish record. The number of families in the parish is 10,682; whereof 226 are chiefly employed in agriculture; and 6828 in trade, manufactures, and handicraft. It may be mentioned, that, during the period when cholera visited the town, the mortality was only 30 above what it was two years before, when measles and fever prevailed; the number of burials being for these two years 1445 and 1476. There are no noble families in the town, but several of independent fortune. Of landed proprietors in the parish, there are sixteen having property worth upwards of L. 50 a-year. The number of inhabited houses in Dundee is 3892, of houses not inhabited about 68. Many houses are at present in the course of being built, in consequence of the opening of several new streets, and the rapid increase of population and trade.51:T44d,page 21 Public amusements, and especially theatrical ones, have been on the decline; and a more rational, healthy, domestic tone of happiness has been introduced. The people have been improving in their style of living, and in their dress. The hodden grey and broad bonnets, for the manufacture of which Dundee was once famous, are almost abolished. A few patriarchs from the neighbouring country exhibit now the only specimens of this ancient costume. A flask of claret, which our forefathers drank without duty, cannot now escape the tax to the crown; and the illieit prowler from the hills, who formerly stole into the town under the cloud of night with his poney and his kegs, has become a productive labourer of the soil, and no longer contends with the exciseman. Brokers have been increasing, the bane of the poor, who may prefer their cordial to their family. City vices no doubt prevail to a great extent; but, on the whole, there is a buoyant spirit of intelligence, enterprise, assiduous labour, and successful specula-tion, as will be seen when we come now to the department of In-dustry.52:T653,The soil of the parish is various. To the westward of the town, including Balgay and Blackness, it is thin and dry. Farther north and east it becomes deeper and richer, and the banks of Logie incline to clay. The land to the north of the hill of Balgay, and around the Law, is poor and thin, on a till bottom, excepting what lies between Dudhope Castle and Dundee, which is rich and fer-tile. The lands of Craigie lying along the river Tay, between Dundee and Broughty Ferry, are generally good, and let at the highest rents. The south banks of Duntrune, Drumgeith, and Baldovie estates, on the north-east side of the parish, are of good deep soil. But Pitkerro, which adjoins these lands, and is almost on the same level with the two last, is dry and thin. Claypots, a farm belonging to Lord Douglas, consists of a strong deep soil; but towards Broughty Ferry the clay disappears, and is succeeded by sand. The best land in the parish is in the middle of the estate of Craigie, part of Logie and Blackness, and that between Dud-hope and Dundee. The worst is on the north side of the Law, and on the north side of Duntrune. In general, all the arable land is in a high state of cultivation, and is very valuable from its vicinity to a large manufacturing town, where any quantity of manure can be got at moderate prices, and where there is always a ready market for every kind of produce, especially green crops. The kinds of trees raised are Scotch fir, larch, and a few elms, ash, plane, and beech. None of these trees are old, nor is the wood in the parish valuable, otherwise than as it is generally orna-mental.53:T4f7,Husbandry. (the care, cultivation, and breeding of _crops_ and animals.) The farm-buildings are pretty good. The greater part of them are built of stone and lime, and slated. They are of a square form generally, the space within being used as a straw-yard for cattle. The fences are stone dikes, with a few hedges; but little attention is paid to fences near the town, where there is no pasturage. At a distance, particularly at Craigie, Pitkerro, and Duntrune, where the fields are let for pasture, the fences are in the best state. The dikes are substantially built of stone, from four to five feet high, and cost for building about 10s. per rood. The ordinary length of the lease of a farm is nineteen years. The rent is paid in money; but sometimes estimated in grain, as well as in money, converted according to the fars of the year. The terms of payment are Candlemas and Lammas for the half years preceding these terms respectively. The land under tillage may be said to be in a very improved state, no labour nor expense being spared to render it highly pro-ductive; and there are no particular obstacles to improvement. The following is about the average number of acres at present producing different kinds of grain, and the annual gross amount of raw produce:54:T653,Page 24 There is little or no hay made in the parish, -the horses and cows kept on the farms and in Dundee requiring all the grass that can be produced green during the summer. The cow-feed-ers buy all the turnips also not necessary for the farm stock. The average price of an acre of good sown grass for cutting green is L. 12, and for an acre of good **turnips** about **${money('L. 13','Turnip','Crop','bushel per acre').text}**; sometimes the last is considerably higher on some farms near town. The land is generally cropped on a six-course rotation:- 1. grass; 2. oats; 3. potatoes; 4. wheat or barley; 5. turnips; 6. barley sown with grass seeds. The dung made on the farm is applied to the land for potatoes, at the rate of about twenty tons per acre, and the dung purchased in Dundee is applied to the land for turnips at the rate of about sixteen tons per acre. The average price of **dung** in Dundee is **${money('5s.','Dung','Crop','per ton').text}** per ton. Oats are sown in March: barley is sown, and potatoes planted in April; and turnips are sown from the 1st to the 20th of June. The potatoes are taken up about the 20th of October, and the ground is then sown with wheat. There is little or no summer fallow made. Harvest commences about the 20th of August. The corn is cut down with the sickle, generally at a certain rate per threave, which consists of twenty-eight sheaves of wheat of one foot diameter, and of twenty-four sheaves of oats or barley of ten inches diameter. The average price of cutting, bind-ing, and stooking a threave of wheat is 4½d. and of a threave of oats or barley 3½d.55:T955,function where(text, allPlaces, units = 'mi', includeTypes = []) { console.log("where() called with:", text, allPlaces.length, units); const conversions = { 'mi': { factor: 1, label: 'mi' }, 'km': { factor: 1.60934, label: 'km' }, 'ft': { factor: 5280, label: 'ft' }, 'm': { factor: 1609.34, label: 'm' } }; const unit = conversions[units] || conversions['mi']; return text.replace(/\b([A-Z][a-z']+(?:\s+[A-Z][a-z']+)*)\b/g, (match) => { console.log("Trying to match:", match); const place = allPlaces.find(p => { // Handle manual format if (p.names) { return p.names.includes(match); } // Handle GeoNames format else if (p.name) { const altNames = p.alternatenames ? p.alternatenames.split(',').map(n => n.trim()) : []; return p.name === match || p.asciiname === match || altNames.includes(match); } return false; }); if (!place) { console.log("No place found for:", match); return `${match}`; } console.log("Found place:", place); let nearby = allPlaces .filter(p => p !== place && distance(place, p) < 10); // Filter by types if provided if (includeTypes.length > 0) { nearby = nearby.filter(p => { // Manual format uses p.type if (p.type) { return includeTypes.includes(p.type); } // GeoNames format - check both feature_class AND feature_code else if (p.feature_class || p.feature_code) { return includeTypes.includes(p.feature_class) || includeTypes.includes(p.feature_code); } return false; }); } nearby = nearby .sort((a, b) => distance(place, a) - distance(place, b)) .slice(0, 3); const directions = nearby.map(p => { const dist = distance(place, p) * unit.factor; const formatted = units === 'ft' ?
