Note 32 — Chapter I · SUMMARY.
Reading edition
St. Patrick’s day, March 17, is mentioned by some historians as James IV.’s birth-day; yet not only the day, but the year of his birth, is variously quoted. Bishop Lesley’s History gives the above date. He could scarcely be mistaken in the year of the birth of his royal patroness’s grandfather. Lesley’s Hist., p. 39.
