Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Stray Leaves From Scotch and English History: With the Life of Sir William Wallace, Scotland's Patriot, Hero, and Political Martyr
Certain, when the author attempts this work, he has no wish to stir up national feelings and engender strife betwixt the Scotch and English in these Colonies or elsewhere. Centuries have rolled on since the transactions recorded in the work, many of them bloody and cruel, took place, and the two nations are now happily united. As for the beloved Sovereign that reigns over them, her fond attachment to Scotland evidently shews what little sympathy she has with one of her Royal ancestors, who in?icted such terrible wrongs on one of Nature's nobles, and on a people who strug gled along with him so manfully for their liber ties. And further than this, the attempts made to destroy these liberties, were not put forth with the consent of the English people, but through the ambition and cruel deceit of a monarch who made several thrusts at their own independence.
