Note 45 — Chapter I · SUMMARY.

History of the Drummond Family, Part xvii. p. 10, in History of Noble British Families, published by Pickering. The value of this beautiful work is not limited to the rare anecdotes with which it is replete, although, as may be seen above, the biographer is indebted for incidents which it were vain to seek elsewhere. It is deserving great attention on account of its embellishments, being enriched with portraits and woodcuts of local scenery and with the most tasteful ornaments, designed and exquisitely tinted by the pencil of the accomplished Lady Strange.
