Excerpt from The Life of Sir William Wallace, the Governor General of Scotland, and Hero of the Scottish Chiefs: Containing His Parentage, Adventures, Heroic Achievements, Imprisonments and Death; Drawn From Authentic Materials of Scottish History

Gen, and in redressing their wrongs. All his superior wisdom, all his strength and valour of soul and were gratuitously em ployed in the services of his country. It his government he dis pensed the laws of equity and justice, inhis campaigns he recur cd their liberty and independence; in his administrations 0 pro served tho people from the anarchy of sedition at home, and maintained their rights against the designs of foreign invasion. He was the Friend of man, the Protector of their persons, the Preserver of their liberties and their laws, the Defend er of their rights and Avenger of their wrongs. None in the thirteenth century was found a parallel to his ch in the annals of human history or tradition had the welfare of their country nearer their hearts. Born the benefactor of his co be united all the qualities necessary for an illustrious ca reer. Ature seems to have endued him with all the transcenoo ant virtues of greatness, dignity, fortitude, integrity, benevolence, goodness and severity of soul, that endeared him to the hearts of all men; she endued him with such an amazing strength and hardiness of body too, that rendered him at once the glor of his companions in arms, and terror of his enemies in war. Lie was called by his country to the defence of her liberties; he nohly vindicated herjrights. And triumphed gloriously over her enemies; he thrice delivered his country from the dominion of a foreign usurper; he thrice laid the pillars of her national independence on the foundations of unalterable equity and justice, with a me dom in the cabinet equal to his glory in the field and the love of his country shone conspicuously through all his administrations and achievements. He accepted the reins of government to save his country from a foreign invader; he wielded his Claymore to maintain her rights and liberties; he voluntarily resi ned them to preserve her peace, and retired into the shades o a private life to heal her bleeding wounds. A spectacle so grand and sublime was contemplated by the people of difierent regions of the earth, with the profoundest admiration. The name of Wal lace was revered by his friends and dreaded by his enemies; even kings of other nations courted his favour; the robbers of the ocean bowed to his invincible arm; the power of England was crushed by him, and his fame resounded from the uttermost boundaries of maps. And Isles of the ocean. His highest ambition was the happiness of his country, and the welfare of her sons. He was brave in his youth, invincible in battle, illus trious in all social virtues, unparalleled in magnanimity, and great in his death, bequeathing to posterity the inheritance of valour, which have been suflicient to raise a monument of esteem ia the glowing hearts of his countrymen, in all succeeding ages.
