5, for October, 1880, there was an article | {headed ‘‘A Romance of the Hebrides,” ‘with portraits ef Flora Macdonald and '

Page 676:

A descendant of Fleance, Reginald Fergant Fitz Alan, England with Guillaume le Conquerant, and founded the noble family which even- tually took the name of Howard. descendant went to Scotland, aud attained to the dignity of Lord High Stewart, (Stuibhardt) of that country, hence arose the change of name from Fitzalan to Stew- art. The English branch of Fitzalan, meanwhile, borrowed ‘from the Stewarts in calling themselves Highward, which, in the course of time,smerged into Howard, of Norfolk, at this present time the hereditary

Sir Henry Steuart, of Allanton, author of a learned treatise on transplant- ing large trees witaovt injuring them. It is perfectly true that Fiora Macdonald was the devoted inherent of the Stewarts; but it is not true that she ever became ‘‘an eager partisan of the house of Hanover.” It 1s true jhat she married Macdonald, the younger, of Kingsburgh, and that the two emigrated to Carolina, and I shall presently explain to you that neither then, nor after- wards, were they willing or eager partjsans of the House of Hanover.

Page 677. The Daisy and the Thistle are indeed a most appropriate memorial fer

THE MACDONALDS.

What Burns said of the Daisy, ‘‘ Wee, medest, crimson-tipped flower !” may wel! apply tothe noble and excellent Flora; while the motto of the thistle, ‘‘ Nemo me impune lacessit!” ‘‘Wha daur mell wi me?” may equally apply to the heroes of her noble cian, ‘‘the heirs of mighty Somerled.” The greatest error in Harper's narrative is that in one paragraph, he confounds the terms, Jacuobin and Jacobite, two terms which are diametrically oppositein meaning. Jacobin means a leveller, a destructive, a communist, a disciple ef the infamous Sansterre, Robespierre, Marat, and the other sons of the guillotine ; while Jacobite means one who through life and unto death followed the fortunes of that most unhappy of Royal Houses, the Royal House of Stewart.

Some of your readers may not know that the House of Stewart obtained

Edward Bruce was killed at the battle of Dundalk, in Ireland, during the life of King Robert; David Bruce died childless, after a reign of many years. Walter Stew- art and his wife died at a very early age; consequently the Crown lapsed to their son, named John, when he was an elderly and infirm man; his name of John been given him when there was no ap-

it; the Elector had his yacht ready prepared to take flight, aecempanied by his vil- lninons old minister Walpole. The Prince was dragged back to Scetland, “‘ like a d in asking” (as Sir Walter Scott has we expressed it), by all his followers, excepting Drummond, Duke of Perth, and his Clan Major, Stewart of Strath Gartney, whe volunteered to proceed to London, if the Prince would give the word and lead the way. Some of the Princes men were left at Carlisle, to certain destruetion; the rear guard, however, inflicted a severe blew on their pursuers, at Clifton Moor ; from thence they marched to Stirhng, and gained the battle ef Falkirk. The chaaces were then once more in their favor. The Prince could have marched upon Edia- burgh, into England, and once more had the road to London, and to the Threne, open to him ; he had, at this time, three times the number of men that he had with him at Derby. DISSENSION

once again was the ruin of his little army and of his hopes; they literally dragged him back, over the Fords of Frew, instead of making a dash upon Edinburgh. The Hanoverian Elector, now fairly roused from the slumbers of profligacy, became ‘‘impiger, iracundus, inexorabiis, acer”; his second sen, the ruthless Duke of Cumberland, was the more than willing teol of his vengeance. After some skirmishing, without any par- ticular result, came the fatal battle of Culloden, which,-~un the part of the Prince and his utterly unqualified General, Lerd George Murray, was the most ill-judged, mad-headed and insane battle that ever was fought. The Vrinee might even yet have made head against his enemies; he might have retreated to Ruthven, where the desperate remnant of his army mus- tered to await him. His cewardly and un- worthy command, ‘‘sauve qu pent!” rained everything, sent his unhappy fol- lowers to hopeless destruction, and placed his own Royal life in peril that was averted enly by Flora Macdenald and one noble Macdonald whom Harper has not so much as meutioned by name, He of Glenaldale and Castle Tioraim, Clan Majer and Here. ditary Factor of Clanranald.
