Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Jacobites of 1715 and 1745, Vol. 2
IT is happily remarked by the editor of the Cul loden Papers, with regard to the devotion of many of the Highland clans to the exiled family of Stuart, that it cannot be a subject requiring vindication; nor, adds the writer, if it raise a glow on the face of their descendants, is it likely to be the blush of shame. The descendants of William Maxwell, Earl of N ithisdale, have reason to remember, with a proud interest, the determined and heroic affection which rescued their ancestor from prison, no less than the courage and fidelity which involved their chief in a perilous undertaking, and in a miserable captivity.
