I think history and evolution have been fairly kind to Isaac Cooper. A lively 'Miss Forbes' Farewell' is a cracking tune! Other members of her family, also favoured with Cooper's titles have been less fortunate. Miss Betty Forbes and Miss Annie Forbes both have reels, neither of which seems to me to have any merit at all.
