A Short History of Scotland

by Andrew Lang

[{250}] Dr Hay Fleming finds no mention of this affair in the Minutes of the Societies.

[{254a}] All this is made clear from the letters of the date in the Stuart Papers (Historical Manuscript Commission).

[{254b}] In addition to Saint Simon’s narrative we have the documentary evidence taken in a French inquiry.

[{264}] See ‘The King over the Water,’ by Alice Shield and A. Lang. Thackeray’s King James, in ‘Esmond,’ is very amusing but absolutely false to history.

[{265}] ‘The Porteous Trial,’ by Mr Roughead, W.S.

[{287}] See the author’s ‘History of Scotland,’ iv. 446-500, where the evidence is examined.

[{290}] ‘Register of Decreets,’ vol. 482.

[{293}] Tradition in Glencoe.
