      "Many years passed, and my oldest child, Anna Isabella, was married to John Burr, on the 5th of February, 1862, at the Register Office, Ampheel Square, Hampstead Road, London. He is an artist quite cele- brated. And, some years ago, the Rev. Dr. Guthrie pre-dicted from his pulpit that Edinburgh would yet be proud of the Brothers Burr. And she is. His pictures have been copied in the "Illustrated London News," " Har- per's," and almost every paper of this style ; and last 21 November, 1869, " The Art Journal " hac a biographl- cal sketch of " John Burr," showing, that, as early as fourteen years of age, he earned his own living by paint- ing portraits. They had three copies of his pictures in this journal, and spoke in the highest possible manner of his genius."
