FOOTNOTES:

[45] Bell’s Memorials of the Civil War (Fairfax Correspondence), i. 68; Dugdale’s Journal in his Short View. Fairfax’s report to Essex is in Rushworth, v. 302; the accounts of Byron and his brother Robert in Carte’s Original Letters, i. 36-42. See also Fairfax’s Short Memorials in Somers Tracts, v. 387; Clarendon’s Hist. of the Rebellion, vii. 403; and Gardiner’s Civil War, i. 346.

[46] Gumble’s Life of Monck, 18; Carte’s Life of Ormonde, i. p. 468. Crawford wrote an account of his proceedings under the title of Ireland’s Ingratitude to the Parliament of England, &c., which was published by order of the House of Commons, February 3, 1643; and see Carlyle, i. 173.

[47] Text of the Solemn League and Covenant in Rushworth; Baillie’s Letters, ii. 102-103; Sir James Turner’s Memoirs, p. 29.

[48] Colonel O’Neill’s Journal; Castlehaven, p. 46; Bellings, iii. 3-7.

[49] Rev. Patrick Adair’s MS. in Reid’s Presbyterian Church, ii. 439-454. Adair’s narrative was published at Belfast in 1867.

[50] Benn’s Hist. of Belfast, 103-109; Turner’s Memoirs, p. 33; Report to Ormonde, May 27, 1644, in Contemp. Hist. i. 586.

[51] Castlehaven’s Memoirs, 48-53; O’Neill’s Journal in Contemp. Hist. iii. 202-4; British armies in Ulster to Ormonde, ib. i. 602. The abusive account in the Aphorismical Discovery may be neglected; it absurdly states that Castlehaven was ‘no soldier,’ ib. i. 84. Bellings, iii. 11.

[52] The agreement between Montrose and Antrim is printed from the original in Hill’s Macdonnells of Antrim, 267. If the date, January 28, be right, then the King’s and Digby’s letter to Ormonde of the 20th were not despatched for several days. Digby to Ormonde, February 8, 1644-5, in appendix to Carte’s Ormonde. The intrigues at Oxford are amusingly described by Clarendon, Hist. of the Rebellion, book viii. 264-278.

Hist. i. 569; Antrim to Ormonde, June 27, 1644, in appendix to Carte’s Ormonde; Ormonde to Digby, ib.

Turner (Memoirs, 39), who, however, was not present at Tippermuir, says Montrose won with ‘a handful of Irish, very ill-armed.’
