"The first part of the Chronicle consists of a translation, from the French, of David Chalmers 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 the original composition of a contemporary author."--Pref.
