Excerpt from Our Journall Into Scotland: Anno Domini 1629, 5th of November, From Lowther
Mr. Lowther"s Journal remained unprinted until it appeared in Appendix VII. to the Thirteenth Report of the Historical Manuscripts Commission, under the editorship of Mr J. J. Cartwright. By the kind permission of the Earl of Lonsdale it now appears in a separate form, with the addition of a few illustrative notes.
The original MS. is a little pamphlet of some sixty pages, 5? X 3? inches, written on both sides of the paper. It is preserved at Lowther Castle. A fac-simile of the first page of the Manuscript is appended.
In the present reprint, the mode of changing the old-fashioned spelling of the seventeenth century MS. to the more modern form adopted by Mr Cartwright in his Report, has been retained. In a few instances, where comparison with the original has shown words to have been inaccurately translated, they have been altered. A paragraph omitted by Mr Cartwright has been printed on page 38 as written by Mr Lowther.
