Note 100 — GROSSETT’S MEMORIAL AND ACCOUNTS

This is one of the very rarest of Jacobite pamphlets. There is a long account of the harsh proceedings of the Edinburgh magistrates towards Robert Drummond, the Jacobite printer who published the poem, in Hugo Arnot’s History of Edinburgh, 1778, book III. chap. iv. See also Book of the Old Edinburgh Club, vol. viii., in which the poem is reprinted for the first time.
