Grated Scotland, seeks a name and an employ

master Of imagination knows 50 well how to dec
orate the offspring of his fancy, and is made to
interest The reader by display Of the chivalrc
virtues OF that romantic age He becomes In
tIouuced 70 the service of Louis by singular
chsnce; but as we Do not intend 10 anticipate
tiie stery nor destroy its freshness TO those who
may read It, we will not state how, nor foIlog
nun farther AZ his eventfal history.
