I.—LETTERS FROM SICILY AND DURING THE PENINSULAR WAR. Letters to Margery Fraser, Lady Saltoun, his Mother. I. Catania, 18th March 1807. Dear Mother,—I wrote you by the last pacquet from Messina, informing you that I was fortunate enough to receive your letters at Palermo, where I was on a tour round the island. I say fortunate, as most likely I should not have received them for some time, if at all, as Palermo is three days' journey from this place by the nearest road, and the country post so badly regulated that one-half of the letters are lost, and we have no correspondence by means of dragoons with that side of the island, which is entirely under the government of the King ; so if you wish me to get any letter punctually, do not send it that way, but if it does not signify how soon I receive it, they may as well go there as anywhere else, as Mr. Drummond will keep them till he has some safe conveyance for them either to this place, or indeed to this side of the island, as there is a regular military post twice a week from Malazzo to Cape Passero. I have obeyed your instructions in every particular, and sent the letters enclosed in two separate packets, as it was impossible to get them conveyed in one to Messina, where the mail for England is made up. The circular letters I have signed on the inside, but not on the back, as I do not know their separate destinies. The letters to the Dukes of York and Cumberland I have put in a cover and directed ; those to the other Peers I VOL. III. A 2 LETTERS FROM SICILY AND have directed on the back, and you can put them in covers and send them. They are all open, in order that they may be sealed with my arms. 1 Our tour to Palermo was delightful. We had the finest weather possible ; the country very beautiful ; but as to the accommodation on the road you can have no idea of anything so bad. We were obliged to carry our beds with us, and, as it was starvation time, our provisions also ; and the inns were so bad that we slept more than once in lettigas, 2 rather than go into them, notwithstanding which I got my bed so full of fleas and bugs that I was obliged to boil the mattrass as the only way of getting them out of it. Our first day's journey was to Calata Girone, 43 miles. Our way led over the plain of Catania, through Palagonia, a pretty little village. We reached Calata Girone at six at night. It is situated on an immense hill, and is the largest inland town in Sicily, and as dirty. The only thing worth seeing is the view from the top of the great church ; and at the Franciscan convent, about half a mile from the town, on the road to Terra Nova, there is a most beautiful figure of a Madonna and child in marble, which is the best bit of sculpture I have yet seen in the island.

WILLIAM MAXWELL, EARL OF NITHISDALE. It is happily remarked by the editor of the Culloden Papers, with regard to the devotion of many of the Highland clans to the exiled family of Stuart, that “it cannot be a subject requiring vindication; nor,” adds the writer, “if it raise a glow on the face of their descendants, is it likely to be the blush of shame.” The descendants of William Maxwell, Earl of Nithisdale, have reason to remember, with a proud interest, the determined and heroic affection which rescued their ancestor from prison, no less than the courage and fidelity which involved their chief in a perilous undertaking, and in a miserable captivity. The first of that ancient race, who derived their surname from the Lordship of Maxwell, in the county of Dumfries, was Robert de Maxwell of Carlaverock, who, in 1314, was killed at the battle of Bannockburn, fighting under the banners of King James the Third.

    ; CHAPTER II. THE LOTHIANS. HE LOTHIANS, or Mid, West, and East Lothian, as the counties of Edinburgh, Linlithgow, and Haddington, are frequently designated, formed part of a province or kingdom which included Berwickshire or the Merse, and the county of Roxburgh. 1 This province or kingdom, anciently known as Saxonia, because the districts were settled by the Saxons, and were never possessed by the Picts, extended from the Tweed on the south-east, and from the English Border to the river Avon on the north-west, bounded on the north and east by the Frith of Forth and the German Ocean, and on the west and south by the counties of Stirling, Lanark, Dumfries, and the Border counties in that part of Scotland. 2 The county of Edinburgh is mountainous to a considerable extent, presenting every variety of scenery, and is watered by streams which traverse romantic and pastoral vales in their course to the Frith of Forth. It is stated by an accurate observer, that " Mid-Lothian, when viewed on a fine summer day from any of its hills, displays a prospect of as many natural beauties, without deficiency in those embellishments which arise from industry and cultivation, as can perhaps be met with in any tract of the same extent in Great Britain. The expanse of the Frith of Forth, from six to ten miles in breadth, adds highly to the natural beauty of the scene; and the capital, situated on an eminence adjoining an extensive plain, rises proudly to the view, and imparts a dignity to the whole." 3 The Romans entered Mid-Lothian about the end of the first century, and retained possession upwards of three hundred and sixty years, leaving roads, camps, naval stations, and altars, as memorials of their long residence on the shores of the Frith of Forth.

LOVAT AND STRICKEN, HEIR MALE AND REPRESENTATIVE LORDS FRASER, or of LOVAT, THIS VOLUME IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED. PREFACE, Some explanation may be looked for, on giving a work of this nature to the world. My attention was first directed to the descent of the Clan Fraser, by a professional enquiry into that of their leading branch. In addition to the genealogical notices then col- lected, I was insensibly led, fiuiii meelliig wIcK iimiiy sui- gular incidents relating to the family, to undertake an ac- count of them from the earliest times. The essay was made, partly for amusement, partly in the hope of becoming more intimate with Scottish history. I had advanced a short way in the arrangement of my materials, when it was suggested to me, that by occasionally introducing events of a public cha- racter, I might form a sketch possessed of some attractions to those who feel an interest in whatever regards the history and manners of our Highlanders. By acceding to the proposal, I found I had imposed upon myself a task, the execution of which, I am too well aware, has fallen short of the design.
