From a manuscript in the Library of the Faculty of advocates, Edinburgh.

"The first part of the Chronicle consists of a translation, from the French, of David Chambers of Ormond's History of Scotland ... The continuation begins at the return of Queen Mary from France, and ends in the year 1611. From its commencement, to the year 1573, it appears to be a translation and abridgment of Buchanan; but from the latter date, where Buchanan's history ends, it is evidently theoriginal composition of a contemporary author."--Pref.

First part translated from Histoire abbregée de tous les roys de France, Angleterre et Ecosse by David Chambers of Ormond.
