=== House Notes ===
Corr. Member of the Anthropological Society of Paris; FSA FRSNA Copenhagen<br />barrister at law<br /><br />President of the Colquehoun Club. Colquhoun Club. It was part of the Royal Society of Literature. The only place I have found references to it is in The Times where its meetings, always dinners in restaurants, are listed under the court circular and on which there are sometimes brief reports. I have no idea when it disappeared – I have not followed it up – but I see that the RSL on its website under history makes no mention of it. I get the impression that it was the convivial part of the RSL!
