Personal Life
Murray died in July 1846, aged 74, and was buried in Kensal Green Cemetery, London. His substantial papers and maps were gifted to the National Library of Scotland by a great-niece in 1913. The Murray River and Mount Murray in Australia and Murray House in Hong Kong are named in honour of him. The city of Perth, Western Australia is also (indirectly) named in his honour, as he was born in Perth, Scotland.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“What is the flesh and blood compounded of
But a few moments in the life of time?
This prowling of the cells, litigious love,
Wears the long claw of flesh-arguing crime.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
