nt, to which Macpherson adds, that the Chevalier attended Mass daily, the testimony of one of the daily papers (the Caledonian Mercury) may be given, as inserted by Mr. Chambers in his very interesting History of the Rebellion of 1745. The Prince visited an Episcopal chapel; the name of the clergyman, Armstrong, and the text, Isaiah xiv. 12, are specified. It was the first Protestant place of worship that the Prince had ever attended. Hist. of the Rebellion, p. 21. [229] History of the Present Rebellion, p. 19.--It is remarkable that two Histories of the two rebellions were composed by men who had changed sides. That of 1715 by Patten, who was rewarded for his disclosures, as King's evidence, by a pension. What reward was bestowed on Mr. James Macpherson does not yet appear. [230] History of the Present Rebellion, p. 26. [231] Notes and Observations taken from MSS. in the possession of A. Macdonald, Esq., Register Office, Edinburgh. [232] Lord Elcho's MS. [233] In Exeter House, Derby, there is a portrait of Prince Charles, painted by Wright of Derby, in which the eyes are hazel. That in the Earl of Newburgh's possession, at Hassop, has blue eyes. [234] Henderson, p. 51. Home, p. 100. [235] Home, 101. Alexander Henderson. [236] Lord Elcho's Narrative, MS. [237] Henderson, p. 84. [238] Henderson, p. 88. [239] Henderson differs in this account from Home. "Charles," says the latter, "remained on the field of battle till mid-day, giving orders for the relief of the wounded of both armies, for the disposal of his prisoners, and preserving, both from temper and from judgment, every appearance of moderation and humanity," p. 122.

[245] Maxwell of Kirkconnel's Narrative, p. 48. [246] Maxwell, p. 65. [247] History of the Rebellion of 1745 and 1746. Extracted from the Scots' Magazine, p. 99. [248] Maxwell's Narrative, p. 74. [249] Maxwell, p. 76. [250] Jacobite Memoirs. [251] Lord Mahon is decidedly of this opinion. See Vol. iv. Hist. of England, respecting the Jacobites. [252] Lord Elcho's MS. [253] Maxwell, p. 80. [254] Maxwell, p. 112. [255] P. 129. [256] Maxwell, p. 140. [257] P. 147. [258] Chambers. [259] Lord Elcho's Narrative. [260] The estate of Comrie is now in
