第794章 CHAPTER XVI(54)

FN 351 The instructions will be found among the Somers Tracts.

FN 352 As to Sir Patrick's views, see his letter of the 7th of June, and Lockhart's letter of the 11th of July, in the Leven and Melville Papers.

FN 353 My chief materials for the history of this session have been the Acts, the Minutes, and the Leven and Melville Papers.

FN 354 "Athol," says Dundee contemptuously, "is gone to England, who did not know what to do."--Dundee to Melfort, June 27. 1689.

See Athol's letters to Melville of the 21st of May and the 8th of June, in the Leven and Melville Papers.

FN 355 Memoirs of Sir Ewan Cameron.

FN 356 Mackay's Memoirs.

FN 357 Ibid.

FN 358 Van Odyck to the Greffier of the States General, Aug. 2/121689.

FN 359 Memoirs of Sir Ewan Cameron.

FN 360 Balcarras's Memoirs.

FN 361 Mackay's Short Relation, dated Aug. 17. 1689.

FN 362 Memoirs of Sir Ewan Cameron.

FN 363 Memoirs of Sir Ewan Cameron; Mackay's Memoirs.

FN 364 Douglas's Baronage of Scotland.

FN 365 Memoirs of Sir Ewan Cameron.

FN 366 Memoirs of Sir Swan Cameron.

FN 367 As to the battle, see Mackay's Memoirs Letters, and Short Relation the Memoirs of Dundee; Memoirs of Sir Ewan Cameron;Nisbet's and Osburne's depositions in the Appendix to the Act.

Parl. Of July 14. 1690. See also the account of the battle in one of Burt's Letters. Macpherson printed a letter from Dundee to James, dated the day after the battle. I need not say that it is as impudent a forgery as Fingal. The author of the Memoirs of Dundee says that Lord Leven was scared by the sight of the highland weapons, and set the example of flight. This is a spiteful falsehood. That Leven behaved remarkably well is proved by Mackay's Letters, Memoirs, and Short Relation.

FN 368 Mackay's Memoirs. Life of General Hugh Mackay by J. Mackay of Rockfield.

FN 369 Letter of the Extraordinary Ambassadors to the Greffier of the States General, August 2/12. 1689; and a letter of the same date from Van Odyck, who was at Hampton Court.

FN 370 Memoirs of Sir Ewan Cameron; Memoirs of Dundee.

FN 371 The tradition is certainly much more than a hundred and twenty years old. The stone was pointed out to Burt.

FN 372 See the History prefixed to the poems of Alexander Robertson. In this history he is represented as having joined before the battle of Killiecrankie. But it appears from the evidence which is ín the Appendix to the Act. Parl. Scot. of July 14. 1690, that he came in on the following day.

FN 373 Mackay's Memoirs.

FN 374 Mackay's Memoirs; Memoirs of Sir Ewan Cameron.

FN 375 Memoirs of Sir Ewan Cameron.

FN 376 Memoirs of Sir Ewan Cameron.

FN 377 See Portland's Letters to Melville of April 22 and May 15.

1690, in the Leven and Melville Papers.

FN 378 Mackay's Memoirs; Memoirs of Sir Ewan Cameron.

FN 379 Exact Narrative of the Conflict at Dunkeld between the Earl of Angus's Regiment and the Rebels, collected from several Officers of that Regiment who were Actors in or Eyewitnesses of all that's here narrated in Reference to those Actions; Letter of Lieutenant Blackader to his brother, dated Dunkeld, Aug. 21.

1689; Faithful Contendings Displayed; Minute of the Scotch Privy Council of Aug. 28., quoted by Mr. Burton.

FN 380 The history of Scotland during this autumn will be best studied in the Leven and Melville Papers.

FN 381 See the Lords' Journals of Feb. 5. 1688 and of many subsequent days; Braddon's pamphlet, entitled the Earl of Essex's Memory and Honour Vindicated, 1690; and the London Gazettes of July 31. and August 4. and 7. 1690, in which Lady Essex and Burnet publicly contradicted Braddon.

FN 382 Whether the attainder of Lord Russell would, if unreversed, have prevented his son from succeeding to the earldom of Bedford is a difficult question. The old Earl collected the opinions of the greatest lawyers of the age, which may still be seen among the archives at Woburn. It is remarkable that one of these opinions is signed by Pemberton, who had presided at the trial. This circumstance seems to prove that the family did not impute to him any injustice or cruelty; and in truth he had behaved as well as any judge, before the Revolution, ever behaved on a similar occasion.

FN 383 Grey's Debates, March 1688/9.

FN 384 The Acts which reversed the attainders of Russell Sidney, Cornish, and Alice Lisle were private Acts. Only the titles therefore are printed in the Statute Book; but the Acts will he found in Howell's Collection of State Trials.

FN 385 Commons' Journals, June 24. 1689.

FN 386 Johnson tells this story himself in his strange pamphlet entitled, Notes upon the Phoenix Edition of the Pastoral Letter, 1694.

FN 387 Some Memorials of the Reverend Samuel Johnson, prefixed to the folio edition of his works, 1710.

FN 388 Lords' Journals, May 15. 1689.

FN 389 North's Examen, 224. North's evidence is confirmed by several contemporary squibs in prose and verse. See also the eikon Brotoloigon, 1697.

FN 390 Halifax MS. in the British Museum.

FN 391 Epistle Dedicatory to Oates's eikon Basiliki FN 392 In a ballad of the time are the following lines "Come listen, ye Whigs, to my pitiful moan, All you that have ears, when the Doctor has none."These lines must have been in Mason's head when he wrote the couplet "Witness, ye Hills, ye Johnsons, Scots, Shebbeares;Hark to my call: for some of you have ears."

FN 393 North's Examen, 224. 254. North says "six hundred a year."But I have taken the larger sum from the impudent petition which Gates addressed to the Commons, July 25. 1689. See the Journals.

FN 394 Van Citters, in his despatches to the States General, uses this nickname quite gravely.

FN 395 Lords' Journals, May 30. 1689.

FN 396 Lords' Journals, May 31. 1689; Commons' Journals, Aug. 2.;North's Examen, 224; Narcissus Luttrell's Diary.

FN 397 Sir Robert was the original hero of the Rehearsal, and was called Bilboa. In the remodelled Dunciad, Pope inserted the lines "And highborn Howard, more majestic sire, With Fool of Quality completes the quire."Pope's highborn Howard was Edward Howard, the author of the British Princes.
