CHAPTER XXVII
29/37

Their march being performed without any incident of note, we will, instead of following them, take a brief retrospective glance on those historical events which had so completely and gloriously turned the fate of Scotland and her patriots, in those five years which the thread of our narrative compels us to leave a blank.

By GRACE AGUILAR.
"Grace Aguilar wrote and spoke as one inspired; she condensed and spiritualized, and all her thoughts and feelings were steeped in the essence of celestial love and truth.

To those who really knew Grace Aguilar, all eulogium falls short of her deserts, and she has left a blank in her particular walk of literature, which we never expect to see filled up."-- _Pilgrimages to English Shrines, by Mrs.Hall._ "A clever and interesting tale, corresponding well to its name, illustrating the silent, constant influence of a wise and affectionate parent over characters the most diverse."-- _Christian Lady's Magazine._ "This interesting volume unquestionably contains many valuable hints on domestic education, much powerful writing, and a _moral_ of vast importance."-- _Englishwoman's Magazine._ "It is very pleasant, after reading a book, to speak of it in terms of high commendation.

The tale before us is an admirable one, and is executed with taste and ability.

The language is beautiful and appropriate; the analysis of character is skilful and varied.
