The correspondence of John Lord Murray, who was for some time Secretary of State, is important for public affairs between 1686-1715, particularly for the campaign of Dundee. (See Sec. VII. (1) above.) It also illustrates the lawless condition of the Highlands in the period. As bearing on the Union negotiations, a letter of George Lockhart of Carnwath, Oct 15, 1705, may be noted.

On p. 10 the Union 'proposals' in 1670 are noted (see Scottish History Society, Vol. 40, App.). LXV. The Stuart Papers at Windsor. Vols. I.-III. (1902-07). The Papers formerly were the property of the titular James III. (the Old Chevalier) and his sons. Prince Charles Edward, and the Cardinal Duke of York. The history of the acquisition of the collection is detailed in the Introduction to the first volume. The papers antecedent to 1716 are comparatively few in number ; but from 1716-70 there is an uninterrupted series of letters and documents, the majority of which are letters to or by the two Pretenders and their ministers, including ciphered communications with their Scottish adherents, and with the ministers of foreign Powers. Portions of the collection already have been printed ; notably in Lord Mahon's ' History of England,' John H. Glover's ' Stuart Papers,' James Browne's ' History of the Highlands,' the Marquise Campana de Cavelli's ' Les Derniers Stuarts a Saint Germain en Laye,' Percy Thornton's ' The Stuart Dynasty,' Andrew Lang's ' Pickle the Spy,' ' The Companions of Pickle,' ' Prince Charles Edward,' and in Vols. 19 and 27 of the Scottish History Society. Vol. I. covers the period to Feb. 1716, and is of particular import- ance for the correspondence of James, Bolingbroke, and the Duke of Berwick, relative to the projected attempt of 1715. Vol. II. covers the period March-Sept. 1716, with an appendix of documents between 1687 and Feb. 1716.

Vol. III. covers the period Oct. 1716 — Feb. 1717, with an appendix of documents covering the same period. The volume further illus- trates the relations of the Jacobites and Sweden, and bears on the diplomacy which led to James's departure from Avignon for Italy in Feb. 1717. 4^ The Historical MSS.

The papers of the sixth Earl (pp. 222-520) extend from 1700-20.

On pp. 511 et seq. are letters and documents bearing on the Rebellion of 1715, including correspondence between Mar and the Old Chevalier.

The relations of the Queen Regent and the Lords of the Congregation, P 4^ The Historical MSS. Commission lxxv. the alliance between the latter and Elizabeth's government in the Articles of Berwick, Lord Grey's campaign, and the Treaty of Edinburgh in 1560, are all detailed in official correspondence (see pp. 149-250 passim). The relations of Elizabeth and Mary Stuart are minutely followed. Copies of two of the Casket letters are on pp. 376-80.

The letters of Lord Hunsdon, Governor of Berwick, graphically illustrate Border relations, 1568-70. (Many of the documents in this Part of the Cecil MSS. have been printed by Samuel Haynes in 1740, Wm. Murdin in 1759, and in Lodge's ' Illustrations.') Part II. covers the years 1572-82. The papers ui it relating to Scotland are not very numerous, but they are valuable as illus- trating diplomatic relations with England in the period. Several of the calendared documents relate to the captivity of Mary in England. On p. 56 is an inventory of the Crown jewels of Scotland taken on the surrender of Edinburgh Castle in 1573. A list of Scottish ships in 1581 trading to Lyme Ptegis is noted on p. 397. Several newsletters relating events in Scotland in 1579 are on pp. 256, 257, 284, 296. Part III. extends over the years 1583-89, and papers on Scottish affairs form the majority of those in the volume. The letters of the Master of Gray, Ptichard Douglas, Mons. de Fontenay, Charles Paget, and Thomas Morgan are especially valuable for the situation in Scotland. See also the letters to Archibald Douglas, Scottish Ambassador in England. Several papers relate to the marriage of James VI. (See p. 499, Index.) Among the most interesting and important of the papers in the volume are those relating to Mary Stuart and her execution. Part IV. covers the period 1590 to September, 1594. Materials for Scottish history will be found chietly in the letters to Archibald Douglas in England. (See the Index under his name.)

Part V. covers the period October 1594 to the end of 1595. Events in Scotland are followed in the letters of John Colville (Bannatyne Club, 1858) to Sir Pobert Cecil, and in the correspond- Lxxv.

The volume also contains important letters between Elizabeth and James VI. which illustrate Anglo-Scottish relations (Camden Society, 1861), and one on p. 370 adv-ising James as to the policy he should pursue with regard to Elizabeth and her ministers. (See pp. 227, 309, 339, 370, 572.) The volume also illustrates Border history in the period. Part VII. covers the year 1597. The papers relating to affairs on the Scottish Borders are numerous, and illustrate the efforts being made on both sides to establish a state of peace in that region. (See the Index siib tit. ' Scotland — Borders.') Part VIII. covers the year 1598. The volume further illustrates Border affairs, and contains details as to the arrest of Valentine Thomas, a mischief maker between Elizabeth and James. Details as to events in Scotland will be found in the letters of Eichard Douglas, John Uvedale, John Colville, and Archibald Douglas. Part IX. covers the year 1599. Its contents bear on the situation and attempted escape from York of certain Scotsmen, pledges there for good behaviour on the West and Middle Marches. (See Index sub tit. ' Scottish Pledges.')

A letter from Elizabeth to James VI., relating to the Gowrie Conspiracy, is on p. 288. Letters between James and Sir Eobert Cecil are calendared (printed by the Camden Society).
