Crabb Robinson Diary

Munro,

Submitted by edpope on

HCR diary 3.6.1818 at British Gallery with Mrs Smith, the futre Mrs Aders "Mrs S made me attentive to the brilliant lights of Hobbema and made me half a convert to her preference of Cuyp over Claude"

A longish passage on how the future Mrs Aders influenced Robinson's taste in art, but compare his visit the previous month to the gallery with Munro, who seems to have influenced him in much the same direction. Probably Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro (DNB 1797-1864)

HCR diary 12.12.1821 at Aders "I found the party all in raptures with the performance on the violin of a Mr Mori who they all extolled to the skies"   "Mori has the look of a man of talent - Burrel says he is only a fine performer and stops short of genius and is not to be compared with Philippi (right name?)"

Nicolas Mori (DNB 1796/7-1839)

                    28.3.1829 Mrs Mitchell at Masqueriers in Brighton

John James Masquerier (DNB 1778-1855) married in 1812 Rachel widow of Rober Eden Scott and daughter of Duncan Forbes-Mitchell. The Mitchells could well have been the family of one of her married brothers then living, either John Forbes-Mitchell born 1784, married Ann Powell in 1809, had 6 children and died  9.7.1822, or Henry David Forbes-Mitchell born 1790, married Margaret Fraser in 1816 and had several children by her by 1822. He died in 1869
