Editor-in-chief
[edit]See Robert H. Carnie, "Publishing in Perth Before 1807" (Abertay Historical Society, 1960) for discussion of the identity of the editor-in-chief: namely Alexander Aitchison (Q91640841) (birth and death dates unknown), member of the Royal Physical Society of Edinburgh; he was also compiler of The Modern Gazeteer (1798). Not to be confused with Alexander Aitchison (Q91672116) (1747-1807), Scottish silversmith and radical, or Alexander Aitchison (1850-1905), Canadian firefighter.
