page viii note * An estate belonging to Lord and Lady Willoughby de Eresby.—Ed.

page xii note * In this sense we shall be fully understood when we say that the same principle which made the Cavalier and Jacobite enthusiastic royalists, to a degree far above the feeling of altered times (when sovereigns are viewed with more utilitarian calculation and philosophizing scrutiny), would constitute the most loyal adherents to the throne of another dynasty, when settled and acknowledged by constitutional succession.

page xv note * Lord John was in the French service, and raised the royal Scotch regiment for that crown. He landed at Montrose in 1745, and followed the standard of his clan. Since this volume was in the press we have received from a literary antiquary, engaged in similar researches, the following curious intelligence respecting the Keith family. He states that “ he has in his possession a MS. of Marshal Keith's correspondence with Lord John Drummond at the time the latter was in Spain, in which, amongst other matters, the writer gives an account of the Empress Catherine's proposal to marry him.”—Ed.
