Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Times of Archbishop Sharp, of St. Andrews
The late Miss Sharp, who is mentioned by Boswell, in Dr. Johnson's Tour to the Hebrides, collected a great quantity of papers relating to her ancestor, Archbishop Sharp. Her nephew, General Bethune of Blebo, having been detained prisoner by Bonaparte after the Peace of Amiens, and despairing of his return, she unfortunately ordered them all to be burnt previous to her death. Much genuine information, relating to history and the private affairs of the primate, has thus been lost.
