Note 10 — Chapter VIII

I have taken my account of the ministerial crisis in Scotland, and of the events which took place there before the session of 1705, chiefly from the Godolphin Correspondence in the British Museum, Add. MSS. 28,055, and from a memorial dated 21st Sept. 1705, among Add. MSS. 28,085 (fol. 225). This memorial seems to be Argyll’s account of the session written for the use of Godolphin. An article in the Edinburgh Review, No. 362 (Oct. 1892), contains further information, and may be compared with ‘A Brief View of the late Scots Ministry, Somers State Tracts, xii. 617, and a pamphlet entitled Vulpone; or, Remarks on some Proceedings in Scotland relating to the Succession and the Union. Printed 1707.
