Ireland, where, when pursued by a force of
English, he halted and offered battle at disad-
vantage, rather than abandon a poor washerwo-
man, who had been taken with the pains of la-
bour, to the cruelty of the native Irish. ltobeit
Bruce's personal accomplishments in war stood
so 'high, that he was universally esteemed one of
the three best knights in Europe during that
martial age, and gave many proofs of personal
prowesS. His achievements seem amply to vin-
dicate this high estimation, since the three High-
landers slain in the retreat from Dalry, and Sir
Henry de Bohun, killed by his hand in front of
the English army, evince the valorous knight,
as the plan of his campaigns exhibits the pru-
dent and sagacious leader. The Bruce's skill
in military art was of the highest order.; and in
his testament, as it is called, he bequeathed a
legacy to his countrymen, which, had they
known how to avail themselves of it, would have
saved them the loss of many a bloody (lay.
" If, however, his precepts could not save the
Scottish nation from military losses, his example
taught them to support the consequences with
unshaken constancy. It is, indeed, to the ex-
ample of this Prince, and to the events of a
reign so dear to Scotland, that we can distinctly
trace that animated love of country, which has
ever since been so strong a characteristic of
North Britons, that it has been sometimes
supposed to limit the affections and services
so exclusively within the limits of their coun-
trymen, as to render that partiality a reproach
which liberally exercised is subject to praise."
