This eminent prelate was a younger son of Ar...chibald, the fifth Earl ofAngus. He was born in Brechin about the year 1474. He studied at theUniversity of Paris. He became a churchman, and yet united withattention to the duties of his calling great proficiency in politelearning. In 1513 he finished a translation, into Scottish verse, ofVirgil's 'Aeneid, ' which, considering the age, is an extraordinaryperformance. It occupied him only sixteen months. The multitude ofobsolete terms, however, in which it abounds, renders it now, as awhole, illegible.
