Retrospect of affairs in Scotland, and what had passed there at the Revolution

Amongst the Collection of English History which the Prince Regent has made in his Library at Carlton House, is a Scarce Tract giving An Account of the Affairs of Scotland, relating to the Revolution in 1688: As sent to the late King James II. when in France. By the Right Honourable the Earl of B. (Balcarres) Never before printed. London, Prinled for J. Baker, at the Black Boy in Pater-Noster-Row, 1714.

The names of persons mentioned, which had only the initials printed, are in this Copy filled up by a pen, and some MS. notes have been added. "All I intend," says the writer to JAMES, "is to give you a short View of your Affairs in Scotland since the beginning of the Revolution, that your Majesty may know, when you attempt the reco very of your just Rights, whom you may rely on for all these that has kept firm to their Duty, after so long and severe a Trial, you may safely depend on; and these that appeared at first against you, and now pretend to be in your Interest, having missed what they expected by this Revolution, you may be persuaded nothing will ever make them throughly so, but a sufficient force."

The Council that was given to JAMES and rejected, To let
his Troops remain in Scotland, and to have, with the
Militia and a detachment from the Highland Clans, an
Army of 13,000 men on the borders of that Country, or
North of England, to be an awe upon both

*Mr. Home, in his History of the Rebellion of 1745, says, "To the Victory which the Highlanders gained at the Battle of Killiecrankie, General M'Kay, who commanded the King's Army, ascribes that confidence which the Highlanders had in themselves, as equal or superior to regular Troops."

JAMES in this Nobleman lost an Officer who was "the best qualified, not only by his Fidelity, Courage, and Capacity, to manage such a War, but who knew admirably well the temper and humours of those he was to command"
