Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wallace, the Hero of Scotland To write a Life or History of Sir William Wallace, the champion of Scottish freedom, may seem a superfluous undertaking; and, indeed, so we felt when the subject was first suggested to us. On reflection and inquiry, however, it did appear that such a work would not be altogether unprofitable at a time when the memory of the great patriot and warrior has been so enthusiastically revived by the proposal to erect a monument to his name, at once national and worthy of his character.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Sir William Wallace, the Governor General of Scotland: And Hero of the Scottish Chiefs The history of human nature, as it is exhibited in the Scot tish character, amply demonstrates that no means have been more successful, no motive more powerful, to raise the 'native energy and to stimulate the native valour of Scotsmen, thaii to give a lively and accurate description of those wars in which their heroic fathers encountered dangers, endured hardships, braved death, nobly conquered or bravely died in defence of the rights and liberties of their native coup try. Is there a young Scotsman in existence, who glories in be ing a native of Scotland, that free and independent Caledonia, that can read the wonderful achievements Of Sir William Wal lace, and of those heroes who fought under his banner, without feeling a portion of that generous and magnanimous flame which fired his soul, directed his councils, and sharpened his Claymore? Is there an aged Scotsman in existence, who glories in being a native of Caledonia, that can recount the glories of her Chieftains and her warriors, without being fired With a love of his country? Can any Scotsman divest liimselfofthis natural love and fight against his' country If there be any such among us, let them be deemed traitors to Caledonia. Awake 2 awake to ancient sentiments of courage display your native souls, ye true heart ed sons of Caledonia Ruack, Ruack, Chebodi.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stray Leaves From Scotch and English History: With the Life of Sir William Wallace, Scotland's Patriot, Hero, and Political Martyr Certain, when the author attempts this work, he has no wish to stir up natiopal feelings, and en gender strife betwixt the descendants of the Scotch and English in these lands or elsewhere. Centu ries have rolled on since the transactions recorded in the work, many of them bloody and cruel, took place, and the two nations in Britain are now happily united. As for the beloved Sovereign that reigns over them, her fond attachment to Scotland, evidently shews what little sympathy She has with one of her Royal ancestors, who in icted such terrible wrongs on one Of Nature's nobles, and on a people who struggled along with him so manfully for their liberties. And further than this, the attempts made to destroy these liberties, were not put forth with the consent of the English people, but through the ambition and cruel deceit of a monarch, who made several thrusts at their own independence for any person consulting the English records of that period will find that the leading barons, and especially the people themselves, engaged most reluctantly in the wars in Scotland. On both sides of the Border they are now one, and the cruel deeds of some of the English monarchs, in days gone by, cannot be charged against the nation as a whole. The youths of both countries, and their descendants elsewhere, may, therefore, claim Wallace as their common ancestor; and while they have many names on the roll of fame belonging to such, to which they can point with pride and satisfaction, none of them can dim the lustre of this great man, whether considered as a patriot or hero. A beau tiful English writer, when referring to this subject, has well expressed such sentiments in the following words The Englishman who now reads of the.
