[Gutenberg 49195] • Viscount Dundee

Excerpt from *Viscount Dundee* :

In the Life of Lieutenant-General Hugh Mackay, the account given is more summary: 'about this time, ' it is said, 'the lieutenant-colonelcy of one of the regiments, forming the Scottish brigade, falling vacant, two candidates started for the appointment. Both excellent officers, but men of characters widely different. These were Graham of Claverhouse, then an officer in the Prince's service, afterwards notorious for his unrelenting cruelties to the Covenanters in the West of Scotland, and Mackay.
