Zingis, a tragedy by Alexander Dow, as it is performed at the Theatre-Royal in Drury-Lane. Dow was a native of Crieff, Perthshire. Hi's father worked at the Customs at Dunbar. The younger Dow was educated in Dunbar for a time, and, in conjunction with his father's job, this would suggest that he lived in the area for a time. Dow was in the process of being educated for a mercantile career in Eyemouth, when he abruptly left aboard the King of Prussia as a Midshipman. The reason for this turn of events is not known, but one reason posited for this was that he was involved in a fatal duel.[3] Dow then worked his way to Bencoolen.
