Excerpt from Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2 The Author was invited to undertake this general Sketch of Scottish History in connection with a similar abridgment of English History by Sir James Mackin tosh, and a History of Ireland by Thomas Moore, Esquire. There are few literary persons who would not have been willing to incur much labor and risk of reputation for the privilege of publishing in such society. On the present occasion, the task, though perhaps still a rash one, was rendered more easy by the Author having so lately been employed on the volumes called Tales of a Grandfather, transferred from the History of Scotland, for the benefit of a young relation. Yet the object and tenor of these two works are extremely different. In the Tales taken from Scottish history, the author, throwing into the shade, or rather omitting all that could embarrass the under standing or tire the attention of his juvenile reader, was desirous only to lay before him what was best adapted to interest his imagination, and confining himself to facts, to postpone to a later period an investigation of the principles out of which those facts arose.

Excerpt from Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2: Historic and Romantic Books have been written about Scotland from many points of view. Its prehistoric annals have been the theme of a number of writers. Its mythical history from the reign of Fergus in 330 b.c. Is given by its early historians. It has too a Roman history and a Celtic history of these but little will be found in the present volumes. The object has been rather to give a sketch, however incomplete, of the country from the great War of Independence in the time of Wallace and Brum to indicate that connection Of the present with the past that adds so great a charm to scenes of historical interest, and to give some account of ancient castles and ecclesiastical buildings round which circle so much history and romance.

Excerpt from The Ballads of Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2 I believe that every editor of a work of this kind must have felt that in his first edition many errors and omissions were certain to occur. Having had the advantage of much sound and intelligent criticism from gentlemen who were evidently well acquainted with the subject, and enthusiasts in our older literature, I have been enabled in some places materially to improve the text; while, from private sources, I have received much information of a very valuable kind. The work has been subjected to a strict revision, and six additional ballad - two of them taken down from recitation - have been inserted.

Excerpt from The History of Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Earliest Accounts of That Nation, to the Reign of King James Vi Neither was it the least inducement to this undertaking, that I hoped my pains herein would not be unsuitable, nor unacceptable to your Majesty. For I thought it shamefully absurd, that your Majesty, who in your tender years, have read the histories of all nations, and retain very many of them in your memory, should only be a stranger at home. Besides, an incurable distemper having made me unfit to discharge in person, the care of your instruction committed to me, I thought that sort of writing, which tends to the information of the mind, would best supply the want of my attendance, and resolved to send your Majesty faithful counsellors from history, that you might make use of their advice in your deliberations, and imitate their virtue in your actions. For there are, amongst your royal ancestors, men excellent in every respect, of whom posterity will never be ashamed; and, to omit others, your Majesty will hardly find in history, any Hero worthy of your comparing with our David. And if the Divine goodness was so liberal to him, in those most calamitous and. wicked times, we may with reason hope, that your Majesty will be (as the royal prophet says), A pattern of all those excellencies, which mothers desire in their children, when they give them their best wishes; and that this Government, which seems to be hurried on to ruin and destruction, may be supported till the time shall come, when all sublunary things, having finished the course appointed them by God's eternal decree, shall arrive at their designed period.

Excerpt from The Whigs of Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2: Or the Last of the Stuarts; An Historical Romance of the Scottish Persecution I Pleasant to the soul, is the remembrance of the days of other years! History can lay before us only a general detail. Events, their causes and consequences, are the legitimate, and almost only attainable objects of the historian. Mor 3 than this it would be impossible for him to accomplish. Materials for minute details, are not usually preserved. And it would be utterly impolitic to attempt more. The tedious delineations would render his voluminous history inaccessible to the great majority of his readers.

Excerpt from Tales of a Grandfather, Vol. 1 of 2: History of Scotland I Have now finished the task I had imposed on myself of giving you an opportunity of acquiring a knowledge of the past events of Scottish History; and a bloody and tragic tale it has been. The generation of which I am an individual, and which, having now seen the second race of their successors, must soon prepare to leave the scene have been the first Scotsmen who appear likely to quit the stage of life, without witnessing either foreign or domestic war within their country. Our fathers beheld the civil convulsion of 1745-6 the race who preceded them saw the commotions of 1715, 1718 and the war of the Revolution in 1688-9. A third and earlier generation witnessed the two insurrections of the Pentland Hills and Bothwell Bridge, and a fourth lived in the bloody times of the great Civil War; a fifth had in memory the civil contests of James the Sixth's minority; and the sixth race carries us back to the long period when the blessings of peace were totally unknown, and the state of constant hostility between England and Scotlana. was only interrupted by insecure and ill-kept truces of a few years' endurance. And even in your Grandfather's own time, though this country was fortunate enough to escape becoming the theatre of bloody conflict, yet we had only to look abroad to witness such extensive scenes of war and slaughter, such subversion of established states, and extinction of ancient dynasties, as if the European world was again about to return to the bondage of an universal empire. We have, therefore, had an unexpected, and almost unhoped-for escape from the evils of war in our own country, at the expense of beholding from our island the general devastation of the Continent, with the frequent alarm that we ourselves were about to be involved in it. It is with sincere joy that I see a period arrived, in which the rising generation may for a time at least be less likely either to hear of, or to witness, the terrors of actual war.

Excerpt from A History of Scotland From the Roman Occupation, Vol. 1 of 2 Miss Violet Simpson, and (in the period of the first Jameses) to Mr R. S. Rait of New College, Oxford, author of a recent work on Queen Mary (n utt, But my errors be on my own head! No general history, perhaps, can ever be so written as to satisfy specialists in genealogy, ethnology, anthropology, law, sphragistic, archmology, heraldry, numis matics, philology, affairs ecclesiastical and military, and all the other themes involved in the narrative of the develop ment of a nation. On the other hand, specialists will never combine to write a general history, and are apt, each within the fence of his special science, to disdain the populariser. But it is not necessary here to enter into the dispute as to whether history is science, or a branch of literature, or both. A History of Scotland, said'the publisher of Dr Robertson's work in the last century, is no very attractive title. That'in the hands of a competent writer with the space of Hill Burton or' Tytler at. His disposal, and with the' mass of recently printed State Papers and Letters to work upon, a history of Scotland might be made extremely attractive, I am convinced. Perhaps the foundation of Historical Chairs in Edinburgh and Glasgow Universities, and the active Historical Schools of Oxford and Cambridge, may encourage some Scottish scholar, still young and eager, to do justice to the romantic past of his people.

Excerpt from The History of Scotland, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time, Vol. 1: Part 2 Queen margaret had now lost the con fidence and respect of all parties, and as she saw her friends and supporters falling off, she became suspicious of those who sur rounded her, and sought to protect herself by planning new intrigues. A parliament was called in Edinburgh, one of the most important objects of which was to establish a truce with England; but it required the presence of the queen, as president of the council of state. Under pretence that her person was in danger, the queen refused to proceed to Edinburgh for this purpose, and it was resolved to omit this formality. This proceeding threw the power into the hands of the council of state, over whom the in u ence of the earl of Angus was very great. Margaret felt that this proceeding implied that she was deserted by the English party, and, resolving at once to throw herself into the arms of France, she attempted to open a negotiation with the queen-mother, who, after the captivity of the French king at Pavia, had assumed the regency of that kingdom. But at this moment a peace was suddenly concluded between England and France, which paralyzed the French faction in Scotland, and overthrew all Margaret's hopes.
