Notes: "Malcolm died on 5 April 1815, after a three-year-long debilitating illness which is said to have begun with an abscess on his knee. His inability to work during his final months rendered him totally indigent and at his death his wife and ageing mother were left destitute. As a mark of respect for Malcolm's industry and popularity, following his death his loyal friends set up a public subscription to provide for his mother and widow. This appeal was announced in the Gentleman's Magazine (May 1815) and was supervised by Malcolm's most regular publishers, Longman & Co., and John Nichols."--Oxford dictionary of national biography.
