Book Description
Excerpt from The White Cockade: Or Faith and Fortitude In my former novel, 'The King's Own Bordorers, ' I endeavoured, in the characters of Lord and Lady Rohallion, to depict Jacobitism in its decline, or rather when it had become identified only with the senility and weakness of enthusiastic old age; but in the following story I have sought to pourtray it in the zenith of its strength, and before it had degenerated into mere sentimental loyalty to a race of dead monarchs - of all loyalty perhaps the most pure and unselfish. In the progress of my tale, I have had to introduce several points of local history, a branch of study which, I am sorry to say, is now usually the last element thought of in Scottish popular education. Scotsmen, and Englishmen too, have long since learned the value of that treaty, which made them equally subjects of a vast united empire, on whose flag the sun never sets; but Sir Baldred Otterburn will represent a numerous class, who existed even until after the beginning of the present century, and who bitterly resented the Act of Union. 'The English adherents of the Stuarts had nothing to say against it, ' says a recent writer; 'but the Scottish Jacobites could scarcely find words sufficiently strong to express their hatred and horror of a measure which, to their excited patriotism, seemed to be the consummation of all ruin and disgrace, and the utter annihilation of Scotland as a free and independent country;' and singularly enough, a bill for its total repeal in June, 1713, was only lost by a majority of three in the House of Lords.
