Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wallace, the Hero of Scotland
To write a Life or History of Sir William Wallace, the champion of Scottish freedom, may seem a super?uous undertaking; and, indeed, so we felt when the subject was first suggested to us. On re?ection and inquiry, however, it did appear that such a work would not be altogether unprofitable at a time when the memory of the great patriot and warrior has been so enthusiastically revived by the proposal to erect a monument to his name, at once national and worthy of his character.
