"Oh, little did my mither ken The day she cradled me The land I was to travel in, Or the death I was to die." March 13. Wrought at a review of Fraser Tytler's History of Scotland.
Livingstone; the latter was unveiled in Prince's Gardens, Edinburgh, in 1876, and is said to be the first work of this kind executed by a woman and erected in a public square in Great Britain.

Readers of Tyler's 'Henry V., of Agnes Strickland's 'Queens, Tytler's 'Scotland, and Barante's 'Histoire de Bourgogne' will be at no loss for the origin of all I have ventured to say of the really historical personages.

But this miserable prospect, both of political and religious thraldom, was dissolved by the great Gustavus Adolphus being invited by the Protestant princes of Germany to espouse the cause of the Reformed religion, being himself of that persuasion." Tytler's Univ. Hist., vol. ii. p. 451.
In the plan of operations for the capture of Ali Musjid one brigade was to attack in front, one in flank, and one by a wide détour through the mountains was to cut off the retreat.
