But the magnates of Glasgow have a juster and more legitimate cause for pride; their ambition is of a less ornamental, but far more useful kind. The Youngs, the Napiers, the Elders, the Campbells, and the Bairds are, after all, your true and permanent nobility. All that is not the direct result of merit and industry can only induce vanity and vexation of spirit.
Memoirs of the Napiers, of Montrose, and of Graham of Claverhouse, the last of which gave rise to much controversy. N. wrote from a strongly Cavalier and Jacobite standpoint, and had remarkably little of the judicial spirit in his methods. His writings, however, have some historical value.
Hislop alongside, and John Cowie on the driver's box, proceeded to Eastleys and took possession; where Henrietta acted the part of a generous lady, Mrs. Hislop that of a kind of a dowager, and John was once more butler in the house of the Napiers. We stop here.
There are abundance of good families, and of very ancient lines in the neighbourhood of this town of Dorchester, as the Napiers, the Courtneys, Strangeways, Seymours, Banks, Tregonells, Sydenhams, and many others, some of which have very great estates in the county, and in particular Colonel Strangeways, Napier, and Courtney.
Thus was Montrose lowered into his grave to the sound of the guns that he loved, which thundered from the castle. He has a beautiful tomb in the old church of St. Giles, adorned with the coats-of-arms of the Grahams and Napiers and his other brothers-in-arms. On a dark January day in the year 1858 a little girl was running quickly downstairs for her play-hour with her elders.

"As a whole, the work is excellent. Just tributes are paid to the characters of General Nott, Lord Ellenborough, the 'Fighting Napiers, Lord Hardinge, Sir Harry Smith, and others. "In illustration, these volumes contain a good map of India, portraits of Lord Clive and the Marquess Wellesley, and not fewer than forty other engravings.
This distressed Ericson, however, for he feared he must have been deceitful, if not hypocritical. It was with some grumbling that the Napiers, especially Miss Letty, parted with him to Mrs. Falconer.
