Description
Excerpt from Life of Lieut.-Gen. Hugh Mackay of Scoury: Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in Scotland, 1689 and 1690, Colonel Commandant of the Scottish Brigade in the Service of the States General, and a Privy Counsellor in Scotland
To appear before the public in the character of an author, was to me an idea, which, though not altogether new, I had not till then seriously contemplated, and could not easily ven ture to adopt. Though not unacquainted with letters, I had never before written a line for the press; and at the age of threescore and twelve, it seemed too late to begin. To these were to be added the still more formidable difficulties, arising.
