Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Highlands and of the Highland Clans, Vol. 2: Part II The government was not inattentive to the proceedings of the Jaco bites, and measures were adopted immediately by the Lord Advocate for securing the chiefs. Under the authority of an act passed on the thirtieth of August, the following persons were summoned by him to appear at Edinburgh within certain specified periods, under the pain of a year's imprisonment and other penalties, to give bail for their allegiance to the government; namely, the marquis of Huntly, the earls of Seaforth, There appears to be a discrepancy' 111 the accounts as to this matter. The Master of Sinclair says, (ms. In the possession of the earl of Rosslyn) that Mar produced a forged commission, but it would appear from the Journal printed at Paris, (appendix to Paton's History, p. With his own approbation, that the meeting was aware that he had no commission, and the writer of the Journal mentions as no small proof of the people's zeal for their country, that so great a number followed his advice, and obeyed his orders before he could produce one.

This book was released on 2017-05-31 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Highlands and of the Highland Clans, Vol. 1 I have further to state, that, throughout the whole of this Work, I have endeavoured to exercise that strict impartiality, which is incum bent upon every one who undertakes to write history. If I have any prejudices, I am unconscious of their existence. If I have done injustice to any one, it has been involuntarily and unintentionally. If the opinions I have expressed are erroneous, they have at least been honestly formed. That I have an affection for the subject, I freely admit; that I have, in any instance, sought to minister to the vanity of the Highlanders generally, or to that of individual tribes of the Highland people, I de cidedly deny. Perhaps I shall be accused of having gone to the Opposite extreme, and made admissions, on disputed points, which a larger share of patriotic prudence might have induced me to withhold. Be it so. Truth is of no country. There is enough in the Highland character to sustain its just and reasonable claims to distinction, without having recourse to the absurd exaggerations and embellishments in which too many have chosen to indulge.

Download or read book A History of the Highlands, and the Highland Clans, Vol. 2: With an Extensive Selection from the Hitherto Inedited Stuart Papers (Classic Reprint) written by James Browne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Highlands, and the Highland Clans, Vol. 2: With an Extensive Selection From the Hitherto Inedited Stuart Papers As soon as the news of the flight of the king reached London, the greatest agitation prevailed; and the two great parties - the Presbyterians and Independents - each of which was struggling for ascendency, became even still more distrustful of one another; but when they ascertained the place of his retreat, they joined in reprobating the conduct of the Scots, who, they erroneously supposed, had induced the king to put himself in their power. The possession of the royal person had been long desired by both factions as of paramount importance in paving the way for the accomplishment of their respective objects; but the unexpected step which the king had just taken seemed to render their prospects for ever hopeless. But they soon found that the case was not so bad as they had imagined for the king was not only prevailed upon to order his officers to surrender the fortresses which they still retained, but to become a suppliant for peace by requesting both houses of parliament to offer him propositions for consideration. Some of these propositions were, however, such as the king could not, in conscience, submit to, and others were quite incompatible with monarchical government. The refusal of the king to agree to these conditions, one of which stipulated the establishment of the Directory, and the recognition of the Westminster Confession, while it displeased the presbyterian party, inspired the independents with fresh hopes, and the latter now began to indicate pretty plainly their intention of dethroning the king.

Download or read book History of the Highlands, Vol. 1 written by James Browne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Highlands, Vol. 1: And of the Highland Clans; With an Extensive Selection From the Hitherto Inedited Stuart Papers Is offering to the public the following History of the Highlands and Highland Clans, which has so long occupied my attention, I think it right to state, without reserve, that the Work makes no pretensions whatever to original discovery, or novel speculation. Nothing is more easy than to hazard conjectures, invent theories, construct plausible hypotheses, and indulge in shadowy generalizations. In the regions of doubt and obscurity, there is always ample scope for the exercise of that barren ingenuity, which prefers the fanciful to the certain, and aims at the praise of originality by exciting surprise rather than producing convio tion. My object has throughout been of a humbler, though, as I conceive, of a much more useful kind. I have sought to embrace, in this Work, the different branches of the subject of which it treats, and to render it a repertory of general information respecting all that relates to the Highlands of Scotland rather than a collection of critical disquisitions on disputed questions of history or tradition. How far I have succeeded in this object, or whether I have succeeded at all, is another and very difi'erent question, as to which the public alone are entitled to decide; and I am fully aware that, from their decision, whatever it may be, there lies no appeal. In any event, however, I shall console myself with the reflection that I have done somewhat to facilitate the labours of those who may come after me, by collecting and arranging a body of materials, the importance of which will be best appreciated by those who are the most intimately conversant with the subject.
