Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Narrative of the Oppressive Law Proceedings and Other Measures Resorted to by the British Government and Numerous Private Individuals to Overpower the Earl of Stirling and Subvert His Lawful Rights, 1885 Sire, Could I have obtained permission to inscribe this Volume to Your Majesty, my satisfaction would have been complete; but although deprived of my most valued privilege of Peerage, and still debarred, by the measures which were a few years since adopted in my case, from approaching your Royal Person to solicit a favour I should have so highly prized, yet I trust there can be no impropriety in thus humbly addressing Your Majesty. In these times, it is one of the first duties of your loyal and faithful subjects to watch anxiously the progress of events, and to be always ready, should Your Majesty require their services. My family have never at any period forgotten the bright example of fidelity to his Royal Master which was left them by the Founder of their honours, Sir William Alexander, who was not less steady in his allegiance, than he was bold, enterprising, and splendid in all his undertakings for the service of his Sovereign and the benefit of his Country. Although descending from a younger Son of that eminent man, and less favoured by fortune than an immediate elder branch, my predecessors were all distinguished for loyalty, and the practice of those virtues which invariably secure respect and honour in society. Proud of the high integrity and great qualities of the heart and mind which my forefathers possessed, I have more sensibly and acutely felt the repeated attempts, during several years, to make me appear unworthy of representing them and succeeding to their honours.
