The Scottish Chiefs: A Romance, Vol. 2 of 2
Paperback
(Forgotten Books July 18, 2012)
England, Wallace carried his reapers, not to lay their sickles to the field, but with their swords to open themselves a way into the Southron granaries. Meanwhile, he provided for the wants of his friends on the other side of the Esk. The plunder of Percy scamp was dispatched to them; and this being abundant in all kinds of provisions, the supply was more than sufficient to keep them in ample store till they could reach Stirling. From that point, the released chieftains promised their regent they would disperse to their separate estates, collect recruits, and reduce the distracted state of the country into some composed order. Wallace had disclosed his wish and mode of effecting this renovation of public happiness before he left Stirling. It contained a plan of mihtary organization, by which each youth able to bear arms should not only be instructed in the dexterous use of the weapons of war, but in the duties of subordination, and above all, have the nature of the rights for which he was to contend explained to him. They only require to be thoroughly known to be regarded as inestimable, added he. But while we raise around us the best bulwark of any nation, a brave and well-disciplined people, while we teach them to defend their liberties, let us see that they deserve them. Let them be men, contending for virtuous independence; not savages, fighting for licentious freedom.
