Dunlop was appointed Sheriff Depute of the Shire of Renfrew in 1816. This office he retained until his death. In 1823 he produced the first two volumes of this 'History of Roman Literature' which is noticeable for useful abstracts of the writings described and illustrations drawn from modern European literatures. He died at Edinburgh in February 1842.

In appearance he was exceedingly like a little old gray cuddy a nice kindly body with a clear soft Scotch voice" - Henry Cockburn. PRICE JUST REDUCED! W118 Language: eng. F. Hardcover. Good.
