MADAM, IN dedicating this volume to your Royal Highness, I venture to hope that you will recognise, in the history which it traces, two claims to your Royal Highness's consideration. The principles which animated Carstares, in his conflict with political misrule and ecclesiastical oppression, were identical with those which placed the Elector of Hanover upon the British throne. Throughout the long struggle which secured their ascendency, those principles found no more faithful champions and martyrs than the chiefs of the House of Argyll. In writing this book I have discharged a duty to a kinsman's memory; in connecting it with the name of your Royal Highness I indulge a wish of my own, which your great kindness has permitted me to gratify. I have the honour to be, Madam, Your Royal Highness's most faithful and obedient servant, ROBERT HERBERT STORY. |
