Excerpt from Memorials and Letters

The truth and justice of History called for this compilation of Memorials and original Letters relating to the Viscount of Dundee and his troubled times. The undertaking, greatly provoked by the domineering anathemas of Lord Macaulay against the champion of James the Seventh, has been chiefly encouraged by the frank liberality of His Grace of Buccleuch, in affording unlimited access to that voluminous and valuable, but hitherto unexplored repertory of latent history, the Queensberry Papers. The principal object of these Memorials is to redeem the history of Scotland from the vulgar calumny implied in the general recognition that mythical béte noir, "Bloody Clavers." By the light of these family papers may be read a character of Graham of Claver-house very different from what has hitherto obtained, even with those who, however incredulous as to its diabolical phase, have contented themselves with striving to bespeak admiration for the heroism of his enterprize, and the devotion of his loyalty. Pre-eminent among such stands Sir Walter Scott. To him the Queensberry Papers, with which he appears to have been unacquainted, notwithstanding his intimacy with the House of Buccleuch and Queensberry, would have opened up new views of a subject he delighted to handle, and which his genius rendered so attractive. Is the absence of that information to be regretted?
