All his superior wisdom, all his strength and valour of soul and were gratuitously em ployed in the services of his country. It his government he dis pensed the laws of equity and justice, inhis campaigns he recur cd their liberty and independence; in his administrations 0 pro served tho people from the anarchy of sedition at home, and maintained their rights against the designs of foreign invasion. He was the Friend of man, the Protector of their persons, the Preserver of their liberties and their laws, the Defend er of their rights and Avenger of their wrongs. None in the thirteenth century was found a parallel to his ch in the annals of human history or tradition had the welfare of their country nearer their hearts. Born the benefactor of his co be united all the qualities necessary for an illustrious ca reer. Ature seems to have endued him with all the transcenoo ant virtues of greatness, dignity, fortitude, integrity, benevolence, goodness and severity of soul, that endeared him to the hearts of all men; she endued him with such an amazing strength and hardiness of body too, that rendered him at once the glor of his companions in arms, and terror of his enemies in war. Lie was called by his country to the defence of her liberties; he nohly vindicated herjrights. And triumphed gloriously over her enemies; he thrice delivered his country from the dominion of a foreign usurper; he thrice laid the pillars of her national independence on the foundations of unalterable equity and justice, with a me dom in the cabinet equal to his glory in the field and the love of his country shone conspicuously through all his administrations and achievements. He accepted the reins of government to save his country from a foreign invader; he wielded his Claymore to maintain her rights and liberties; he voluntarily resi ned them to preserve her peace, and retired into the shades o a private life to heal her bleeding wounds. A spectacle so grand and sublime was contemplated by the people of difierent regions of the earth, with the profoundest admiration.

And Isles of the ocean. His highest ambition was the happiness of his country, and the welfare of her sons. He was brave in his youth, invincible in battle, illus trious in all social virtues, unparalleled in magnanimity, and great in his death, bequeathing to posterity the inheritance of valour, which have been suflicient to raise a monument of esteem ia the glowing hearts of his countrymen, in all succeeding ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the concept of the heroic, questions what it is that makes the national hero an indispensable appendage to any possible interpretation of national identity, and asks why scholars stop short before coming to terms with this elusive phenomenon. It finds answers by following heroic traditions in Scotland, Norway and Lithuania from the early modern period to the twentieth century. The book argues that heroic traditions - prevailing trends in situating heroes in national history - owe much to the early modern state. Both national heroes and the nation state had been conceived with a similar moral political mindset that looked for new ways to identify sources for commonality. The confluence of political theory and Realpolitik attested to three classical types of polities, i.e. civitas popularis (democracy), regnum (kingship), and optimatium (aristocracy), as found at that time in Scotland, Norway and Lithuania respectively. The author shows the varied impact these patterns had on heroic traditions. The long record of national heroes in Scotland is explained as a vestige of the legacy of civic humanism, the continuing traditions of the heroic king-lines in Norway are seen as a result of long-standing absolutism, while the belated arrival of national heroes in Lithuania is excused by the country's aristocratic if at times oligarchic past.

Download or read book The Wallace Book written by Edward J. Cowan and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2012-08-10 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through his personality, ingenuity and ability, he initiated a resistance movement which ultimately secured the nation's freedom and independence. Yet, Wallace was reviled, opposed and eventually betrayed by the nobility in his own day to re-surface in the epic poetry of the fifteenth century as a champion and liberator. Eventually, his legend overtook the historical reality, a process which has continued for centuries as manifested in modern media and film. A team of leading historians and critics from both Scotland and England investigate what is known of the medieval warrior's career from contemporary sources, most of which, unusually for a national hero, were created by his enemies. His reputation, from the time of his horrendous execution to the present, is examined to ascertain what the figure of Wallace meant to different generations of Scots. Too dangerous perhaps for his own era, he became the supreme Scottish hero of all time; the archetypal Scot who would teach kings and nobles where their duty lay, and who would live free or freely die for the liberty of his nation.
