Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Rebellion of 1745-6 The present work appeared originally in Constable's Miscellany in 1827. The principal sources of information which then existed for a history of the civil war of 1745, were the contemporary public journals, Mr Home's work (valuable at least for its reports of what the author himself witnessed), the Lockhart and Culloden Papers, the Chevalier Johnstone's Memoirs, and the still fresh traditions of the people. Since from these documents the author constructed the first edition of his narrative, a greater quantity of valuable materials has become accessible than during eighty preceding years. The personal narratives of two distinguished actors, Lord Elcho and Mr Maxwell of Kirkconnel, have been in part or wholly given to the world. In Dr James Browne's History of the Highlands and Highland Clans, there appeared extensive and very important excerpts from the great collection in the possession of the British sovereign, styled 'The Stuart Papers.' To this valuable set of excerpts, Lord Mahon has made additions in his History of Great Britain between the Peace of Utrecht and that of Aix-la-Chapelle. I was myself so fortunate, in 1832, as to become possessed of an extensive collection of papers which had been gathered, early in the present century, by the late Sir Henry Steuart of Allanton, with a view to his composing a History of the Efforts in behalf of the House of Stuart from the Revolution downwards.

And, being persuaded, by some who believed themselves, that, if he went thither, it would neither be in Sir John Hotham's will, nor in his power, to keep him out of that town; and that, being possessed of so considerable a post, and of the magazine there, he should sind a better temper towards a modest and dutiful treaty; his Majesty took the opportunity of a petition presented to him by the gentlemen of Yorkshire, (who in truth were much troubled at the order for removing the magazine from Hull; and were ready to appear in any thing for his service), in which " they desired him to cast his eye and "thoughts upon the safety of his own person, and "his princely issue, and that whole county; a great "means whereof, they said, did consist in the arms "and ammunition at Hull, placed there by his prince-? "ly care and charge; and since, upon general appre"hensions of dangers from foreign parts, thought sit "to be continued: and they did very earnestly be"seech him, that he would take such course, that "it might still remain there, for the better secur"ing those, and the rest of the northern parts." Hereupon, he resolved to go thither himself; and, the night before, he sent his son the Duke of York, 3 E 3 who who was' lately arrived from Richmond, accompanied with the Prince Elector, thither, with some other persons of honour; who knew no more, than that it was a journey given to the pleasure and curiosity of the Duke. Sir John Hotham received them with that duty and civility that became him.
