-of Queen Elizabeth, in 1603, succeeded to the
, • Throne of England, as in right of his great-grand-
mother, Margaret, sister of Henry the Eighth, and
wife of James the Fourth. In this way he came to
have right to the Throne of England and Princi-
pality of Wales, as the eldest lineal descendant of
iVilliam the Conqueror, and united in his person
the titles of all the Royal families of Britain.
It is needless to give the particulars of her Ma-
jesty's descent from James Sixth of Scotland and
First of England, as these are well known. By the
above detail it is established, that her Majesty is not
only descended from William the Conqueror, and
from the Princes of 'Wales, but that she also repre-
sents the Saxon Royal Family of England, and the
still more ancient Royal Families of the Caledonians
or Picts, and of the Scots or Celts ; and in this way,
that she unites in her person the titles of all the an-
cient royal families or Britain, and is connected with
every royal family of Europe.

* So denominated by the Romans.
t The ancestors of the two ancient Royal families of
Scotland had successfully resisted the invasions 01 the
'lonians and Danes, and all other enemies, and their
successors were equally successful in repelling. all in-
vaders, and maintaining the independence of their coun-
try. So that Scotland has the proud distinction of never
having been conquered by any foreign Power, and her
Majesty the high honour of being the descendant and
repv9sentative of.this ancient and heroic race of kings,
as well as of the ancient Saxon family of England.
The Caledonians, being of Teutonic or German descent,
as well as the Saxons, there was a great resemblance in
language, manners, and institutions, between the inhabi-
tants of the eastern coast of Scotland and the Saxon
population of England, and many of the Saxon families
came to settle in Scotland, after the conquest of England
by William the Norman.

districts to Walter, High Steward of Scotland, ancestor
of the Stewart family, who founded the Abbey of Pais-

a fknale ward of the Cr6tvn without the Royal consent,
and the story of this aVparent compulsion seems to have
been devised in ord.& tb avoid such danger. Marriage,
course, was theeconsequence. (As descendant of this
