He possessed a singularly clear judgment, with a warm and affectionate heart. Few men ever enjoyed, in the degree which Mr Coutts did, the confidence and esteem of his friends, or obtained, unaided by rank or political power, so much consideration and influence in society.

He died surrounded with friends, in the presence of Mrs Coutts and his daughters, the Countess of Guilford, and Lady Burdett, with their families, and Lord Dudley Stuart, the son of his second daughter, the Marchioness of Bute, who is now in Italy on account of her health.

VOL. XI.

THIS work has been already favoured with not the worst attestation of merit, in the extraordinary sale it has had: it being, we believe, no secret that a very large edition has been entirely disposed of in the course of a very few weeks. The high and wellknown character of Colonel David Stewart himself, and the interest naturally taken by kindreds and families in the celebration of ancestors and relatives, may in a great measure account for this immediate and extensive success; but we regard the Colonel's book as one possessed of claims to lasting honour, and are sure that its eventual popularity will be by no means confined to the circles, wide as these are, in which the history of our Highland Regiments is family history or even national history.

The author of the book is a son of the house of Garth, an ancient and honourable branch of the Stewarts, settled in Athole. He entered life early, as an ensign in the Forty-Second, and served with that regiment in many bloody campaigns, including the expedition to Egypt, under Sir Ralph Abercrombie. At a subsequent period he was transferred to the Seventy-Eighth, or Ross-shire Highlanders, and had along with them a great share

in the glories of Maida. The severe wounds he received in that splendid action, have, we understand, never been entirely cured: and we are led to suppose, that the composition of the work before us has formed a principal occupation of his leisure during the several years he has since spent in the midst of his old friends here in Scotland.

The book, even had it appeared anonymously, and contained no clue to the real name of the author, must have been discovered by the most careless reader to be the work of a Highlander and a Soldier-most enthusiastic in either capacity. Colo nel Stewart's prejudices are as strong as any man's prejudices can well be; but we are sincerely of opinion, that no man will think the worse of him for entertaining them. What would have been considered as eminently absurd in any other sort of person, will be universally honoured and applauded in the descendant of a hundred chieftains, whose infant ear was taught to relish no melody but that of the pipe, and who has charged the French a hundred times under the inspiration of its wild notes. This will be the first and most natural view of the subject. But he who
