in question the verscity of the antique lady thus
speaking through her epitaph;
"'1 from my cradle TO my grave have seen
Eight mighty Kings In Scotland and Queen
n you will permit me to do so through your columns
should like TO champion her outraged memory. That
she saw eight Kings In Scotland there can be no
doubt, although I may say in parenthesis
that the fact Is Indication Of great change which
time has wrought In Of popular Of cards
Besides the Kings which r. o. admits she
there Ia one other James stuart son Of james H. OF
England. crowned In Scotland In i7l4 as James
VIII Of Scotland and ILL., Of England. and maintained
his cause there for months aided by the Earl OF
Mar, Louis XIV. Of France and many English Taco
bites. As to the OF Queens complained Of by
r. Che says the Countess two. but she
claims to have seen but onetwo OF psnations may be
offered. First. the scots allowed the validity
OF Mary H. claim a. their Queen while her father,
james H. lived and fought against her assertion Of
until her death second the Countess may have been
reckoning her life according to Teigns under which she
lived, and hence, william and Mary relgned
Jointly kept TO the strict construction The Scots
have always been ercey patriotic and strictly truth
full, and mixture OF the two doubtless inspired the
eptaph trust, therefore, r. O. will let this ancient
dame sleep untroubled by accusations under her ep
aph which bresthes the true Scotch spirit Of freedom
and veracity. A. CHURCH"
Mr. Church instances Thomas Parr a. Ions. lived
person, but unnecessarily, a. there was no question
person living to be i25 years old. X. g. raised
doubts to what the beneficiary OF the epitaph had
seen and to her being really the Countess OF Dali
keith Mr. Church explains the old lsdy's vision and
Mr.. wesener shows that she was not always called
"Countess Of Dalkeith" but plain Mary Scott So we
think that r. O.. question. are answered
