Dr. Faustus' birth and education: with an account of his felling from the Scriptures.
D O C T O R J O H N FAUSTUS was born in Germany;
his father was a poor labouring man, not able to
bring up his son Jolm: but he had a brother in
thd same country, who was a very rich man, but
had never a child, and took & great fancy to his
cousin, and he resolved to make a scholar of him ;
and in order thereunto, put him to the latin school,
v^here he took his learning extraordinary well;
afterwards he put him to the University to study
divinity ; bat Faustus could in no ways fancy that
employment; wherefore he betook himself to the
studying of that which his inclination is most for,
viz. Necromancy and Conjuration, and in a lit-
�II
ile time, few or none could outstrip him in the
art; l i e also studied Divinity: of which he was
made Doctor; But within a short time fell into
such deep fancies and cogitations, that he resolved to throw the scriptures from him, and betake
himself wholly to the studying of neeromacy
and conjuration, charms and sobth-sayitig,.witchcraft, and the like.
C H A P II.
How Dr. Faustus conjured up the devil, makeing him appear at his own house.
; {fummD in mod
AARAUA* W H O I H O T D O O
Faustus, whose mind was to study conjuration,
the which he followed night and .day;.he took
the wings of an eagle, and endeavoured to fly over the world, to see and know all the secrets of
heaven and earth : so that in a short time, he attained power to command the devil to appear before him when he pleased.
One day as Dr.
Faustus was walking in a wood near to Wirtemberg, in Germany, he having a friend with him
who was desirous to know of the Doctors art,
he desired him to let him see if he could then and
there bring Mephostophiles before him; all which
�II
the Doctor immediately did, and the dsvil upon
the first call, made such a noise in the wood, as
if heaven and earth would have come together;
then the devil made such a roaring as if the wood
had been full of wild beasts. The Doctor made
a circle for the devil, the which circle the devil
ran round, making a noise as if ten thousand waggons had been running upon paved stones. After
this it thundered and lightened, as if the whole
world had been on fire. Faustus and his friend
amazed at this noise, and the devil's long tarrying, thought to leave his circle; whereupon he
made him such music, the like was never heard
in the world: This so ravished Faustus that he
began again to conjure Mephostophiles in the
name of the prince of the devils, to appear in his
own likeness; whereupon in an instant, hung
over his head a mighty dragon. Faustus calls
again after his former manner, after which there
was a cry in the wood as if hell had opened, and
all the tormented souls had been there; Faustus
in the mean while, asked the devil many questions, and commanded him to show many diabolical tricks.
ahhq mi
J
�CHAP. H i
How Mephostophiles came to Dr* Faustus's
house and what happened between them.
Faustus commanded the spirit to meet him at
his house by ten of the clock the next day. At
the hour appointed he earne into his chamber,
asking Faustus what he would have Faustus
told him, it was his will and .pleasure to conjure
Mm to be obedient to him in all points of those
articles, viz.
First, That the spirit should serve him in all
things he asked, from that time till his death.
Secondly, Whatsoever he would have* he
should bring him.
Thirdly* Whatsoever he desired to know, he
should tell him.
T h e spirit answered him and said he had no
such power of himself, until he had acquainted
his prince that hiled over him: " For" said he,
" we have rulers over us that send us out* aiid
command us home when they please t and we
can act 110 further than our power is, which
we receive from Lucifer, who, you know, for
his pride was thrust out of heaven. But saith
�7
the spirit, I am not to tell you any more except you make yourself over to us.'*
Whereupon Faustus said, " I will have my
request ? but yet I will not be damned with you."
Then said the spirit, " You must not, nor shall
not have your desire, and yet thou art mine and
all the world connot save thee out of my hands."
Then said Faustus. " Get thee hence, and I.
conjure thee, that thou come to me at night."
T h e spirit then vanished. Faustus then began
to consider, how he m?glit obtain Iris desire, and
npfc give his soul to the devil.
And while Faustus wer£ in these his devilish
cogitations^ night drew on, and this hellish spirit
appeared to Faustus, acquainting him, that now
he had got orders from his prince to be obedient
to him, and to do for him whatsoever he desired,
provided he would promise to be his, and withal
to acquaint him first, what he would have of him?
Faustus replied, that his desire was to become a
spirit, and i h a t Mephostophiles should be always
at his command; that whatsoever he called for
him, he shall appear invisible to all meii, and
that he should appear in what shape he pleased
to which the spirit, answered, that all his desires
should 1be granted if he would sign those articles,
he should wish or ask for: whereupon D r . Faustus withdrew and stabbed his wrist receiving the
�8
blood in a small saucer, which cooled so fast, as
if it forwarned him of the hellish act he was going to commit; nevertheless he put it over embers to warm it, and wrote as follows.
" I, John Faustus, approved doctor of divinity, with my own hand do acknowledge aud testify myself to become a servant to Lucifer,
Prince of Septentrional and Oriental, and to him
I freely and voluntarily give both soul; in consideration for the space of twenty four years, if I
be served in all things which I shall require, or
which is reasonable; by him to be allowed ; at the
expiration of which time from the date ensuing,
I give to him all power to do with me at his
pleasure; to rule to retch and carry me where
he pleases body and soul; hereupon I defy God
and Christ, and the host of angels and goocl
spirits all living creatures that bear his shape,
or on whom his image is imprinted y and to the
better strengthening the validity of this covenant
and firm agreement between us, I have writ it
with my blood, and subscribe my name to it,
calling all the powers and infernal potentates to
witness it is my true intent and meaning."
JOIIN FAUSTUS.

M
C H A P IV.
What happened to Faustus after the signing
of the articles.
When Faustus had made an end of his writing
he called Mephostophiles to him, and delivered
him the bond; whereupon the spirit told him if
he did not repent of what he had done, he should
enjoy all the pleasure his thoughts could form,
and that he would immediately divert him. He
caused a kennel of hounds to run down a hart in
the hall? and vanished: then a bull danced before
Faustus, also there was a lion and a bear, which
fell to fighting before Faustus, and the lion destroyed the bear : after that came a dragon and
destroyed the lion. And this, with abundance*
of more pastime, did the spirit present to the
doctor's view, concluding with all manner of
music, with some hundreds of spirits, which came
and danced before Faustus. After the music
was over, and Faustus began to look about him,
he saw ten sacks full of silver, which he went to
dispose of, but could not, for none could, handle
it but himself, it was so hot. This pastime so
pleased Faustus, that he gave Mephostophiles
�10
the will that lie had made, and kept a copy of it
in his own hands. Tim spirit and Faustns being agreed, they dwelt together, and the devil
was in their house-keeping, for there was never
any thing given away to poor, which before
Faustus made this contract was frequently done,
but the case is now altered.
C H A P . V.
How Faustns served the Duke of Bavaria.
Faustns having sold his soul to the devil, it
was reported among his neighbours* so that none
would keep him company, but his spirit playing
merry tricks for to please him. Not far from
Patistus's house lived the Duke of Bavaria, the
Duke of Saxony, and the Bishop of Salisburgh,
whose houses and cellars Mepliostophiles used to
visit* and to briilg the best of every thing they
had : one day the Duke of Bavaria invited most
of the gentry of the country to dinner, for whose
entertainment, there was abundance of provision
got ready. The gentry being come, and ready
to sit down to dinner, in an instant Mephostophiles came and took all away with him, leaving
�II
them full of admiration. IF any tmis Faustus
had a mind for wild fowl, the spirit would call
whole flocks in at a window ; also the spirit did
teach Faustus to do the like so that no lock nor
key could keep them out. The devil also taught
Faustus to fly in the air and to act many things
that are incredible, and too large for this small
boot to contain.

i !
After Faustus had ix long conference tfith his
spirit concerning the fall of Lucifer, and the
state and condition of all the fallen angels, he,
in a vision or dream, saw hell and all the devils
and souls that were tormented there; he saw hell
divided into several cells, or deep holes; and for
every cell, or deep ward, there was a devil appointed to punish those that were under his custody. HaVifig seen this sight, he much marvelled at i t ; and at that time Mephostophiles
being with him, he asked him what sort of people they were that lay in the first dark pit ; they
�Mephostophiles told him they were those who
pretended themselves to be physicians, and who
had poisoned many thousands to try practise;
and now saith the spirit they have just the same
administered to them, which they gave to others
though not with the same effect, for they will
never die here saith he. Over their heads was
a shelf laden with gallipots full of poison. Having past them he came to a long entry exceeding
dark where there was a mighty crowd, he asked
him what those were ? and the spirit told him
they weie pick-pockets; who loved to be in a
crowd, when they were in the other world, and
to content them they put them in a crowd there,
amongst them were some padders on the high
way, and those of that function. Walking farther he saw many thousands of vintners, and
some millions of taylors, in so much that they
could not feel where to get stowage for them; a
great number of pastry cooks with peels on their
heads. Walking farther, the spirit opening* a
great cellar door, from which arose a terrible
noise, he asked what they were ; the spirit told
him they were witches, and those who had been
pretended Saints in the other world; but how
they did squabble, fight, and tear one another!
Not far from them lay the whore mongers and
adulterer*, who made such a hideous noise, that
�L3
he was very much startled. Walking down a
few steps he espied an incredible number almost
hid with smoke; he asked what they were ? the
spirit told him they were millers and bakers ; but
good lack, what a noise was there among them !
The millers crying to the bakers, and the bakers
crying to the millers for help, but all was in vain,
for there was none to help them. Passing on
still farther, he saw thousands of shopkeepers,
some of whom he knew, who were tormented for
defrauding and cheating their customers. Having taken this prospect of Hell, the spirit Mephostophiles took him in his arms, and carried
him home to his own house, when he awaking,
he was amazed at what he saw in his dream. So
being come to himself, he asked the spirit in what
place Hell was, and who made it ? Mephostophiles answered, " Knowest thou, that before the
fall of Lucifer, there was no hell, but upon his
fall, was hell ordained. As for the substance of
hell, we devils do not know; it is the wrath of
God that makes hell so furious, and what we
procured by our fall; but where hell is, or how
it is governed, and whatsoever thou desirest to
know, when thou comest there thou shalt be satisfied as far as we know ourselves.

Containing some tricks of Dr. Paustus.
Dr. Faustus having attained the desire of his
spirit, had now full power to act or do any thing
whatever he pleased ; upon a time the Emperor
had a desire to see him, and likewise some of the
Doctor's tricks: whereupon he wras requested by
the Emperor, to do somewhat to make him merr y ; but the Doctor in the meanwhile looking
round him he at last espied a great lord looking
put at a window, and the Doctor calling his spir-»
it to help him, be in an instant fastened a large
pair of horns upon the Lord's head, that he could
not get his head in till Faustus took off the horns
again, which were soon taken off invisibly ; The
Lord whom Faustus served so, was extremely
vexed, and resolved
be revenged op the Doc^
tpr,: and to that end lay a mile out of town for
Faustus's passing by, he being that day to dei art
for the country; Faustus coming by a wood side,
beheld that Lord mounted upon a mjghty warlike horse, who run full drift against Faustus,
who, by the assistance of his spirit, took him and
all, and carried before the Emperor's palace, and
�15
grafted a pair of horns on his head as big as an
Ox's; which he could never? be rid of, but wore
them to his dying day.

How Faustus eat a load of Hay,
Faustus upon a time having many doctors and
masters of arts with him, went to walk in thg
fields, where they met with a load of h a y ; " How
now good Fellow," saith Faustus, « what shall 1
give thee to fill my belly with hay S f The Clown
T
thought he had been a madman to talk of eating
hay, told him he should fill his belly for one
penny; to which the doctor agreed,afld then
fell to eating, and quickly devouring half of the
load : at which the doctor's companions laughed,
to see how simply the poor country fellow looked, and to hear how heartily he prayed the doctor to forbear; so Faustus pitying the poor
man, went away, and before the man got near
his house, all the hay was in the cart, that the
doctor had eaten, which made the country fellow very much admire

How he struck a parcel of Students who were
fighting together, blind; and how he served
a parcel of Clowns who were singing and ran5

;
^
Thirteen Students meeting with seven more,
near Dr. Faustus's house, fell to extremely first
in words and at last to blows ; the thirteen being too hard for the seven, and Dr* Faustus
looking out at his window and seeing the fray
and how much they were over matched, conjured them all blind, so that the one could not see
the other, and in this manner they fought one
another* which made all that saw them laugh:
at length the people parted them, and led them
to their chambers, they instantly received their
sight—The doctor coming into an inn;with some
friends, was disturbed by the hallowing and bawling of a parcel of drunken Clowns, whereupon
when their mouths were wide open, he so ?corijured them* that by no means they could shut
them again; and after they had stared one upon
another, without being able to speak, thinking
they were bewitched, they dropped away in a
�IT
confused fear, one by one, and never could be
got to the house afterwards.

How Faustus helped a young man to a fair lady.
There was a gallant young gentleman who
was in love with a fair lady, living at Wirtemberg, near the dooters house, this gentleman had
long sought this lady in marriage, but could not
attain his desire, and having placed his affections
so much upon her, he was ready to pine away,
and had certainly died with grief, had he not
made his address to the doctor, to whom he opened the whole matter. Now no sooner had the
gentlertian told his cause5 to the doctor, but he told
him that he need not be afraid, for his desire
should be fulfilled, and that he should have her,

Now Faustus made seven women danee naked

Faustus walking in the market-plaqe, saw seven women sitting all in a i;ow, selling Qggs* butter, &e. Of e very one he bought something and
departed: no sooner was lie gone, but all th$ eggs
and butter, were gone out of of their baskets and
they knew not how: at last they were told, that
J k . Faustus had conjured their goods away;
thfey thereupon ran speedily to the Doctor's
house, and so demanded satisfaction for the ware;
he resolving to make himself and the town's people merry by his conjuring art, made them return to their baskets naked as ever they were

How Faustus served a Country Fe (low who was
driving Swine.

Dr. Faustus, as he was going to Wirtemberg .
overtook a Country Fellow driving an hundred
Swine, who were very headstrong some running
one way and some another; so that the driver
could not tell how tp get. them drpye along: the
doctor taking notice of it, so by his conjuring
art, he ma <} f ^very one of .them ctynce upon their
two hind legs, with a fiddle in one of their fore
feet,, and with the other fore foot they played upon the fiddle, and so they danced and fiddled all
the way until they came into Wirtenaberg market. The d r w r of them dancing all the way
before them, which made the people wonder : after the Doctor had satisfied himself vyith the spirit he conjured all of the fiddles away, and the
driver then offered them for sale,
quickly sold
them all, and took the money; but before he was
�gone out of the house Faustus had conjured all
the hogs out of the market-place, and sent them
all home to the driver's house. The man who
bought them, seeing all the swine gone, stopped
the man who sold them and would have his money, which he was forced to pay, and so returned
home sorrowful, and not knowing what to do ;
but to his great surprise, found all the swine in
their sties.

CHAP. XIII.
How Faustus begun to bethink himself of the
near approach of his end.
Faustus having spun out his twenty-four years,
within a month or two, began to consider what
he should do to cheat the devil, but could not
find any way to prevent his miserable end, which
was now near, wThereupon he thus cries out to
himself, Oh! miserable wretch that l a m , I have
given myself to the devil, for a few years pleasure, and now I must pay full dear; I have had
my desires; my filthy lusts I have satisfied, and
I must be tormented for ever and ever.
A neighbour of his a very good old man hear-
�II
ing of his way of living, in compassion to Ins
soul came to Him, and with tears in his eyes, feesought him to have more regard to his most precious soulj laying before him the promise of
God's grace and mercy, freely offered to repenting sinners, and spake so feelingly that Faustus
shed tears, and promised to him, that he would
try to repent. This good man was no sooner
gone away, than Mephostophiles found him pensive and on his bed, now Mephostophiles mustering what had happened, began to reproach
him with breach of covenant to his Lord Lucifer, and thereupon? almost twisted his neck behind him, which made him cry out very lamentable ; in the mean time threatening to tear him
to pieces, unless he renewed his obligation, which
for fear, with much sorrow he did, in a manner
the same as the former, which he confirmed by
the latter.
CHAP. XIV
How Dr. Faustus was warned of the Spirit to
prepare for his end.
Faustuss full time being eome, the spirit ap-
�peared to him, and shewed him his writing, and
told him that the next night, the devil would
fetch him away, which made the Doctor's heart
to ache: but to divert himself, he sent for some
Doctors and master bachelors of arts, and other
students to take dinner with him, for whom he
»
provided groat store of varieties, with music and
the like: but all would not keep up his spirits, for the hour drew n e a r : whereupon his -countenance changing the doctors and masters of
arts enquired of him the reasons of his Melamchotiness ? to which Fa^stusanswered, " My
friends, you have known i&e these many years and
how I hare practised all manner of wickedness.
I have been a great conjurer, which devilish art
I obtained of the the devil ; and also to obtain
power to do whatever I pleased I sold myself to
the 4evH for twenty four years time, which £ull
time being out this night, makes me fbll ©ff horror ; I have called you my friends, to see this my
dreadful end : and I -pray-let my miserable death
be a warning to you all, how you study the devilish art of conjtariag~; for if lonce you begin it,
a thousand to one but it will lead you to the devtil whither £ am this aught to go, whether I will
or not." Tfoey hearing of this sad story blamed
him for concealing it so long, telling him if he
fbad made them acquainted foefoio tint* they
�thought it might have been prevented. He told
them he had a desire several times to have disclosed this intrigue; but the devil told feim, tH8t
if he did, he would presently fetch Mm away;
he also told them, he liad a desire to join with
the godly, and to leave o f that wicked course;
but immediately the devil used to come and torment him, &c. ^ But now, saith Faustus, it is
but in vain for me to talk of what I did intend,
for 1 have sold myself to the devil, body and soul
is his." No sooner had he spoken these words,
but suddenly it fell a thundering and lightening,
the like was never heard; whereupon Faustus
went into the great hall, the doctors and, masters staying in the next room, intending to hear
his end. About twelve o'clock the house shook
so terribly that they <^i|gjht i t would have been
down upon them, and suddenly the house
windows were broken to pieces, s«L!that they trembled and wished themselves elsewhere, whereupon a great clap of thunder, with a whirlwind the
doors flew open, and a mighty rushing of wind
entered with the hissing of serpents, shrieks and
cries, upon w hich he lamentably cried out, Murder, and there wras such roaring in the hall as if
all the devils in hell had been there. When daylight appeared, they took the boldness to enter
into the room, and found his brains beaten out
�24
against the wall, and the floor sprinkled with
blood ; but missing his body they went in search
of: it and found it on the dung-hill mangled and
mashed to pieces. So ended this miserable
wretch's life, forsaking God, and all goodness,
and given up to his implacable enemy which
we hope may stand not only as a fearful, but
lasting monument and warning to others.

HISTORY
OF
SIR WILLIAM WALLACE,
THE RENOWNED
SCOTTISH C H A M P I O N .
GLASGOW:
PRINTED
FOR
THE
BOOKSELLERS
��HISTORY
OF
SIR WILLIAM WALLACE.
IT was in times of the deepest calamity, when
Scotland as it were was overwhelmed with affliction, and sinking into the deepest despair, by the
base conduct of an ignominious monarch, that
Scotland was betrayed into the hands of the King
of England, who put Scotland in a state of cruelty and oppresion, and sent blood and carnage over
the land that Divine Providence, raised up Sir
William Wallace, for a deliverer of his country,
from the slavish submission to the English monarch, and a champion to avenge her wrongs.
This remarkable hero was the son of Sir
Malcolm Wallace, the proprietor of a small estate
called Ellerslie, near Paisley, in the county of
Renfrew. The exact period of his birth is not
known; but it is supposed that at the time of his
father's death, who was killed at the battle of
Loudon Hill, in 1293, he was about fifteen
years of age. His mother, after this disastrous
event, fled with her son to the house of an
uncle, where Wallace lived between two and three
years. when a boy he had witnessed the
�security and happiness of his country during the
reign of Alexander I I I , and now when she was
degraded and oppressed by the tyrant Edward,
his countrymen despoiled of their goods, and
their wives and daughters wantonly insulted by
his English followers, the contrast was of such a
nature as to arouse the keenest feelings in a heart
which from its earliest stirrings was animated by
a love of liberty to his country, which nothing but
death could extinguish.
Whilst brooding in secret over his country's
wrongs, an event occurred which stimulated the
powers of his mind and body into active existence,
and for ever banished all hope of conciliation betwixt him and the enslavers of his country. He
had formed an attachment to a beautiful young
woman in the town of Lanark, and when passing
through that burgh, well armed and somewhat
richly dressed, he was recognised by a troop of
English soldiers, who surrounded and insulted
him. Wallace at first would have prudently got
dear of their insolence; but a contemptuous stroke
which one of them made against his sword, provoked him to draw, and he laid the culprit dead
at his feet. A tumult now arose, and, almost
overpowered by numbers, he escaped with difficulty into the house of his sweetheart, and through
it, by a back passage, into the neighbouring
�woods. For facilitating his escape, the unfortunate girl was seized next day by the English
sheriff, and with inhuman cruelty condemned
and executed. But Wallace's revenge when he
heard
of her unmerited fate wasasrapidasitwasstern.
That very night he collected thirtyfaithfullyand
powerful partisans, who, entering the, town when
all were in their beds, reached the sheriff's
lodgings
in silence. It was a building constr
wood, and the sheriff's apartment communicated
with the street by a high stair. Up this Wallace
rushed at midnight, and, beating down the door,
presented himself in full armour, and with his
naked weapon, before the affrighted officer, who
asked him whence he came, or who he was? " I
am William Wallace," he replied, "whose life
you sought yesterday : and now thou shalt answer me for my poor maiden's death." With
these words he seized his naked victim by the
throat, and passing his sword through his body,
cast the bleeding wretch down the stair into the
street, where he was immediately slain. He then
speedily withdrew with his followers into the
woods which surrounded the town. For his daring act of retaliation he was accused by the
government
of murder, and sentence of
and outlawry being passed against him, an immediate and eager pursuit was adopted. Wallace,
�however, was intimately acquainted with the
country, and found little difficulty in defeating
every effort for his apprehension.
Before proceeding further, however, in the
detail of Wallace's personal history, and in order
better to understand the narrative which follows,
it becomes necessary to take a short review of
the state of matters at that time in Scotland, and
the course of events which led to the series of
transactions.
Upon the death of Alexander I I I . a number
of candidates appeared for the Scottish crown;
and among others were Robert Bruce and John
Baliol, both descendants of David I. The right
of the former was certainly the preferable one;
but when the right of succession was not distinctly settled, the claims of both had supporters.
It was at last proposed, to refer their claims to
Edward I. of England, one of the most powerful
monarchs of that day. Edward, who had long
cherished ambitious designs upon Scotland, was
delighted with this proposal, and by way of
pon with a great deal of solemnity, summoned
the Scottish nobles to Norham, where, he soon
Baliol, to acknowledge him Lord Paramount,
and swear fealty to him in that character.
adjusting
the matter, which he now
prevailed on all present, no
�It was on this occasion maintained by Edward,
that the English monarchy were the natural and
acknowledged superiors of the kingdom of Scotland, which only an appanage of the English
crown; and that at different periods this right
had been authenticated by the homage of the
Scottish princes. Now the fact was, that these
acts of fealty were only rendered for possessions
of the Scottish sovereigns lying on the northern
frontier of the English dominions. These territories, from their being situate on the threshold
of the two kingdoms, had formed the theatre of
many sanguinary conflicts; and had at divers times
changed masters, till they came at last to be considered as belonging to Scotland.
For these
possessions it had been the practice of some of
the Scottish kings, at different periods, to do
homage, to those of far inferior note, for tracts of
land acquired in this manner; and instances were
not awanting of the English monarchs themselves,
rendering that sort of subjection to the kings of
France. It was now contended, however, by
Edward, that the homage or fealty on these occasions had been done for the entire kingdom of
Scotland.
This was the first step in Edward's ambitious
views. Under pretence of transmitting the full
authority into the hands of the successful
�8
candidate, he next demanded the temporary possession of all the fortresses of the kingdom: which,
strange to say, were passively yielded into his
hands, with the exception of the castles of Dundee and Forfar, then held by Gilbert de
Umfraville,
looked-for mandate, unless a written indemnity
should be given at the hand of the Scottish nobles, freeing him from all share of blame. T h e
claim of Baliol was at last, 17th December 1292,
declared the preferable one, and that personage,
having again acknowledged the English king as
his lieg lord, was placed by him on the Scottish
throne.
who refused compliance with
T h e insuits and degradation to which he was
subjected at last roused even the complying spirit
of Baliol, and in the bitterness of his soul he
could not help communicating his feelings to the
nobles of his court, who, at his instigation, now
unanimously disclaimed their hasty allegiance to
the English monarch. " The silly traitor," exclaimed Edward in derision, when Baliol's refusal to attend his summons was communicated
to him, " if he will not come to us we will go to
him."
Edward now entered Scotland with a large
conqueror; Edinburgh Castle surrendered after
army;
one stronghold after ano
�9
a slight resistance; Stirling Castle almost without a struggle; others were abandoned : the spirit
of the nation was extinguished : and Baliol again
submitted to the terms of the conqueror. In this
invasion Edward had been joined by Bruce and
his adherents, who conceived a prospect was
opened up of that nobleman obtaining the crown.
But Edward, when order was restored, and the
matter hinted to him, contemptuously replied,
" Have we nothing else to do but to conquer
kingdoms for y o u ? " Bruce made no reply, but
retired into obscurity, and passed the remainder
of his days in quietness and opulence.
It was in the month of July 1296 that Edward
finished at Elgin his expedition northward against
his army committed the most dreadful excesses;
and still more to complete the subjugation of
Scotland, the English monarch ordered all the
charters and public papers which could in any
Way exhibit proof of the independence of the
realm to be destroyed. H e also carried off the
celebrated stone, belonging to the coronation
chair of the Scottish kings, from the palace of
Scone, where it had been kept for ages, and deposited it in Westminister Abbey. But all these
indignities, added to the oppression and misrule
of Edward's lieutenants in Scotland, only served
the Scots.
On his return to the south

to'exasperate, and at last to rouse into fearful action, the slumbering hatred of the nation. A mong the foremost of those who banded themselves against the English'was Wallacc, who now
first publicly appeared on the scene. He was a
man eminently fitted for his perilous enterprise;
for to the most ardent love of his country, unshaken resolution, and prodigious strength of
body, he added those firm yet conciliatory manners which are necessary to govern rude ari(l
tumultuary ranks; while the personal and family
injuries he had sustained at the hands of the
English gave tenfold vigour to his efforts. A
prediction also of Thomas the Rhymer, asserted
that by the arm of Wallace was the independence
of Scotland to be achieved.
T o be aquainted with the strength and resources of the English, Wallace often disguised himself, and visited their garrisons and towns.
H e took precaution to wear a light coat of
mail under his common clothes ; his bonnet, which
to common sight was nothing more than a cap
cloth or velvet, had a steel basnet concealed
imder i t ; a collar or neck-piece, of the same metal, fitted him so closely, that it was hid completely, and below his gloves he had strong gauntlets of
plate. Relying on his Herculean strength and
secret armour, b e fearlessly ventured into the very

middle of his enemies, and when they ventured
to taunt or assail him, found that they had to do
with an assailant in full armour and of undaunted
courage.
While thus disguised, personal encounters with
his enemies were of frequent occurrence. He
slew a buckler-player at Ayr, and put to flight
a number of soldiers, who attempted to rob him
of his day's sport as he fished in Irvine water.
He repaid the rudeness of Squire Long-castle
by a mortal thrust in the throat with his dagger;
and by many such bold and daring adventures he
slew many of his foes.
In the spring of the year 1297, the people
were suffering grievously from famine, to relieve
#ie English garrison of Ayr, a large train of
waggons, under the protection of John de Fenwick, took their journey from Carlisle to that
town. O f this Wallace was informed, and although he could then only muster about fifty
soldiers, he determined to attack it.
Having
occupied a strong position within a wood, he put
up a temporary fortification, and passed the night.
In the grey dawn of the morning, he and his men
left their horses, and occupied a narrow valley
which the convoy was to pass. Forward came
Fenwick at the head of a force which far outnumbered them, and, confident in his own numbers*

were every where: and Sir Richard Lundin, who
�13
had been most vehement in his hostility to the
invaders, deserted the cause of his country, and
went over to the English, " I will remain no
longer with a party that is at variance with itself."—Stewart, Lindsay, and Douglas, followed
this example, and basely yielded themselves to
the authority of Edward's officers.
The Scottish champion, finding himself thus
basely deserted, by the leading men who surrounded him, retired northward. On his march
with those who still remained faithful to his fortunes, he was joined by many new followers, and
even received considerable accessions to his ranks
from the vassals of several barons. Finding his
army, by reason of these accessions, once more
on a formidable footing, Wallace renewed the
war, and commenced operations by laying siege
to Dundee, a place of considerable strength.
The English leaders were no sooner apprized
of Wallace's movements in that quarter than they
hastened to meet him, and with that intent advanced in the direction of Stirling. Intelligence
of their march having been speedily communicated to the Scottish champion, he instantly resolved to meet them on their approach. He then
charged the citizens of Dundee, under pain of
death, to continue the blockade, and commenced
his march, hastening to seize the important pass
�14
which divides the Ochil from the Grampian Hills,
so that the English forces, when ready to pass
the Forth by the bridge at Stirling, were astonished to see the Scottish army drawn up on a rising ground near the Abbey of Cambuskenneth,
and prepared to oppose their passage. Edward's
governor, here attempted to practise the same
arts which had beed so successful while at Irvine.
The men which Wallace now had, were of a very
different stamp from those dastardly and perfidious barons with whom it was his misfortune on
that occasion to be allied. All terms of compromise were promptly and sternly rejected,
" Return," said Wallace to the two friars sent
by Warrene to propose an accommodation; " We
came not here to treat but to assert our rights,
and set Scotland free. Let them advance, they
will find us prepared."
Thus the English commanders were thrown
into perplexity as to what plan of operations they
should follow. T o attempt to force a passage
along the bridge, in the face of an enemy soadvantageouslyposted and so full
hopes, would be a step fraught with manifest
danger, On the other hand, to decline the contest with an enemy inferior in many respects,
would be held disgraceful.
While engaged
in these deliber
�15
the Scots in their present position appeared more
and more hazardous to all the English commanders, except Cressingham the treasurer, who exclaimed " Let us fight, as is our bounden duty."
The boisterous eloquence of Cressingham prevailed, and the rest of the leaders yielded a reluctant
assent, contrary to the advice also of one of
Wallace's late perfidious associates, Sir Richard
Lundin, who offered to point out a ford at a short
distance, by taking advantage of which they could
fall on the rear and flanks of the enemy.
Wallace, Exhorting his followers solely to abide by his orders for the moment of attack,
Wallace allowed about a third of the English
army fairly to clear the bridge; when rushing
down, while the others were defiling along the
bridge, with an unlooked for and almost incredible impetuosity, the Scots precipitated themselves
on their yet unformed ranks. The shock was
like that of a mountain-torrent. The English
seemed to have been, as it were, instantaneously
swept off the earth. Thousands were slain on
the field or drowned in the river; among the rest
their rash adviser, Cressingham, whose dead body
was treated with great indignity by the Scots,
who abhorred him for the tyranny which he had
always displayed against their country. A panic
seized the English, who had witnessed this sudden
�16
overthrow and destruction of their companions: they hastily burned the bridge to secure
their retreat, and, fleeing with the utmost rapidity, they scarcely halted till they had reached
Berwick, leaving all their baggage and other
ammunition in the hands of the victors. Few among the Scots fell in this engagement. This
battle, so fatal in its issue to the English, took
place on the 11th September 1297.
Wallace pushed on with rapid steps to Dundee,
which in a short time capitulated. One stronghold after another fell into the hands of the patriots, and the country was soon freed from the
tyranny of her oppressors.
By reason of bad seasons and want of cultivation, the country was reduced to a most deplorable state of privation and want, amounting almost
to famine. T o relieve in some measure the general pressure, as well as to retaliate on the invaders,
an expedition into England was put under the
command of Wallace, and the young Sir Andrew
Murray, whose father fell at Stirling. The Scots
poured into the northern counties, Berwick was
taken, and the whole country completely overrun
and wasted; and so great was the revenge of the
Scots at this time, that Wallace himself and the
other commanders were altogether unable to
restrain their excesses.
�Many wonderful facts are told of Wallace's
exploits he defeated the English in several combats, chased them almost entirely out of Scotland,
regained the towns and castles of which they had
possessed themselves, and recovered the complete
freedom of the country. He even marched into
England, and laid Cumberland and Northumberland waste, and humbled the English.
In the north of Scotland, the English had
placed a garrison in the strong castle of
Dunnottar,
overhangs the raging sea. Though the place is
almost inaccessible, Wallace and his followers
found their way into the castle, while the garrison
in great terror fled into the church or chapel,
which was built on the very verge of the precipice. This did not save them, for Wallace
caused the church to be set on fire. A number
of the terrified garrison, involved in the flames,
ran upon the points of the Scottish swords, while
others threw themselves from the precipice into
the sea, and swam along to the cliffs, where they
hung like sea-fowl, screaming in vain for mercy
and assistance.
The followers of Wallace falling on their knees
before the priests who chanced to be in the army,
they asked forgiveness for having committed so
much slaughter within the limits of a church
which, built on a large and precipitous roc
�iti
dedicated to the service of God. But Wallace had
so deep a sense of the injuries which the English
had done to his country, that he only laughed at
the contrition of his soldiers,—" I will absolve
you all myself," he said. " It is not half what
the, invaders deserved at our hands ? " So deep
seated was Wallace's feeling of national resentment, that it overcame, the scruples of a temper
which was naturally humane.
The Scots returned from England in triumph,
laden with plunder; where they had spread terror along the whole border, to the gates of Newcastle.
Edward once more resolved to invade Scotland,
at the head of 80,000 infantry and 7000 horsemen, he in person led on the march, holding his
course northward he passed through Edinburgh,
and fixed his head-quarters at Templeliston, a
village between that city and Linlithgow, where
he resolved to abide till his victualling ship
should arrive. While stationed here he received
intelligence that the Scots were advancing upon
Falkirk, a town about 12 miles distant
He
resolved
to give battle. But
passed the night under arms on a heath, an
accident
happened to their king which th
for the present to suspend the attack. As he lay
on the ground, his war-house struck himwitha
�violence which broke two of his ribs ; but, disregarding the pain, he mounted the horse and instantly led his troops to battle.
The Scots were formed in a stony field on a
slightly rising ground, in the near vicinity of Falkirk. Their infantry were drawn up in four circular bodies, while the archers were disposed in
the intervals. The horse, amounting only to a
thousand, were posted in the rear. In front of
the whole lay a morass. " Now," said Wallace,
" I have brought you to the ring ;hopingif you
can ;"—that is, " dance if you have skill."
Edward's chief dependence was on his cavalry, 4000
of whom were cased in complete armour. These
he ranged in three lines. The first was led by
Bigot, Earl Marshal, and the carls of Hereford
Lincoln; the second by the bishop of Durham,
having under him Sir Ralph Basset of Drayton;
the third, to act as a reserve, was commanded by
the king in person. The assault was begun by
the English horse, who, finding the passage of
the morass, which lay in front of the Scots, to
be impracticable, made a simultaneous attack on
the right and left flanks of their enemy. The
left flank made a determined and bloody resistance ; but the Scots' cavalry, panic struck by the
overwhelming appearance of the English horse
which, as well us their riders, were
equip
�20
heavy plates of steel, fled on their near approach,
Wallace with his gallant infantry had now to sustain, unsupported, the whole shock of the English
army, who again and again threw themselves
with headlong fury upon the Scottish circles;
but, " they could not penetrate into that wood
of spears." After sustaining these repeated charges with the most determined resolution, the outer
ranks were at last broken by dense showers of
stones and arrows, which the English poured in
upon them in aid of the heavy onsets of their
horse. Macduff and Sir John Graham had by
this time fallen, as also Sir John Stuart, who
commanded the archers ; almost all of which last
had perished by the side of their beloved commander, whose death by their devoted bravery they
so amply revenged. The rout was now becoming universal, when Wallace, collecting the shattered remains of his forces, commenced a retreat
across the Carron,—a movement which, by his
precaution caused little loss.— Among those who
most eagerly pressed on their rear was Bruce, who
on this occasion had again leagued himself with
the English. Exasperated at the sight of this
with his two handed sword dealt him a blow,
which, though it missed Bruce's head, was yet
aimed with such prodigious strength as to cleave
selfish
traitor, Wallace suddenly d
�21
his horse to the ground. With Sir Brian le Jay,
aknighttemplar of high military renown, the
Scottish hero was more successful. With a single blow of his battle axe he laid him dead in the
midst of his followers.
Wallace now retreated across the Forth. But
previous to this movement, and while wandering
on the banks of the Carron, Wallace was recognised by the misguided Bruce, who descried him
from the opposite bank, and, with the view perhaps of justifying his own dastardly conduct, ascribed to ambitious motives, in his opposition to
the English.
" No," said Wallace, " my
thoughts never soared so high; I only mean to
deliver my country from oppression and slavery,
and to support a cause which you and others have
abandoned. If you have but the heart, you may
yet win a crown with glory, and wear it with
justice. I can do neither: but will—live and die
a free born subject."
The generous mind of Bruce was much struck
with these glorious sentiments; he repented that
he had joined Edward; he felt that he had
secretly determined to seize the first opportunity
of joining his oppressed countrymen.
In this battle, the loss on both sides was very
greater. The number of the English, according
betrayed
his country and his own right
�to history of credit, amounted, as before stated,
to nearly 90,000 men, while that of the Scots
scarcely reached to a third part of the amount.
Among the Scots who fell none was more regretted than Sir John the Graham, whose death was
deeply mourned by Wallace.
Sir John was
buried at Falkirk, where a monument was erected to his memory, on which there is the following inscription : — " Graham is buried here, slain
in battle by the English: he was strong in mind
and body, and the faithful friend of Wallace."
The battle of Falkirk led the way to further
successes on the side of the English, and almost
the whole of the southern districts were reduced
under their power. The Scots still held possession of the country north of the Forth. In the
mean while Wallace, mortified by the treachery
of the nobles, who threw every obstacle in the
way of his being of any efficient use in the cause
of his country, and disgusted with their quarrels
and jealousies, retired for a while into obscurity.
About this time, he took a voyage to France,
with a small band of trusty friends, to try what
his presence might do to induce the French monarch to send to Scotland a body of auxiliary forces, to aid the Scots in regaining their independence, but in the mean time bishop Lamberton,
Bruce, earl of Carrick, and JohnCummingthe

younger submitted to Edward, but Sir William
Wallace, with a very small band of followers refused either to acknowledge the usurper, Edward,
or to lay down his arms. He continued to
maintain
his native country, for no less than seven years
after his defeat at Falkirk, and for more than one
year after all the other defenders of Scottish liberty had laid down their arms. Many proclamations were sent out against him by the English,
and a great reward was set upon his head ; for
Edward did not think he could have any secure
possession of his usurped kingdom of Scotland
while Wallace lived. A t length he was taken
prisoner ; and, shame it is to say, a Scotsman,
called Sir John Menteith, was the person by
whom he was seized and delivered to the English.
It is generally said that he was made prisoner at
Robroyston, near Glasgow : and the tradition of
the country bears, that the signal made for rushing
upon him and taking him at unawares, was, when
one of his pretended friends, who betrayed him,
should turn a loaf, which was placed on the table,
with its bottom or flat side uppermost. And in
after times it was reckoned ill-breeding to turn a
loaf in that manner, if there was a person named
Menteith in company ; since it was as much as to
himself among the woods and mountain
�24
remind him, that his namesake had betrayed Sir
William Wallace, the Champion of Scotland.
Edward having thus obtained possession of the
person whom he considered as the greatest
obstacle
to his complete conquest of Scotl
ved to make Wallace an example to all Scottish
patriots, who should in future venture to oppose
his ambitious projects. He caused this gallant
defender of his country to be brought to trial in
Westminster hall, where he was accused of having been a traitor to the English crown; to which
he answered, " I could not be a traitor to
Edward,
for I was never his sub
Notwithstanding this most honourable defence,
Wallace was shamefully condemned to be executed as a traitor ! and Edward to his infinite
reproach and disgrace, ordered Wallace to be
dragged upon a sledge to the place of execution,
where his head was struck off, and his body divided into four quarters, which, in conformity to
the cruel practice of the time, were exposed upon
pikes of iron upon London Bridge,— his right
arm above the bridge at Newcastle,— his left
was sent to Berwick,— his right foot and limb to
Perth, and his left quarter to Aberdeen,—and
termed the limbs of a traitor! He was
executed

the 23d of August, 1305.
