Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scottish Chiefs, Vol. 4: A Romance This appearance did not deceive. - The whole mantle of clouds with which the tops of all the mountains had been obscured, rolled away towards the west, and discovered to the eye of Wallace that this line of light which he had discerned through the mist, was the host of Ruthven descending Benvorlich in defiles. From the nature of the path, they were obliged to move in a winding direction; and as the sun now shone full upon their arms, and their lengthened lines gradually extended from the summit of the mountain to its base, no sight could contain more of the sublime; none of truer grandeur, to the enraptured mind of Bruce.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scottish Chiefs, Vol. 3 of 4: A Romance This being the season of harvest in the northern countries of England, Wallace carried his reapers, not to lay their sickles to the field, but, with their swords, to open themselves a way into the Southron granaries.

Download or read book The Scottish Chiefs written by Jane Porter and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How eagerly children already acquainted with the sumptuous yearly issues of the classics, illustrated by Wyeth, will reach for this year's publication of "The Scottish Chiefs" -- a story which probably is not read as widely as it should be, but which, in its glorification of William Wallace, has never failed to hold the interest of the boy eager for a good historical novel. Whatever the editorial curtailment and one recalls with what sympathy the shortening of "Westward Ho?" was done -- we are sure that Mrs. Wiggins and her sister have attempted nothing to harm the flow of the narrative. In fact their statement is to the effect that they have only taken these hindrances from the text which do not seem to them necessary for the even progress of the story. Jane Porter and her contemporary writers loved to "pad." This padding is removed for the modern, swifter reader. Mr. Wyeth has pictured, with dashing color and dramatic sense, the high spots of this story. The edition is worthy and the story is worthy. What more could one want for a juvenile book? --The Literary Digest, Volume 71 [1921]
