James Murray of Broughton, the Prince's secretary, whose disunion greatly embarrassed the affairs of the Adventurer. In general, a thousand different pretensions divided their little army, and finally contributed in no small degree to its overthrow.   74 The Doutelle was an armed vessel, which brought a small supply of money and arms from France for the use of the insurgents.   75 Old women, on whom devolved the duty of lamenting for the dead which the Irish call keening.   76 These lines, or something like them, occur in an old Magazine of the period.   77 i.e., Contiguous.   78 They occur in Miss Seward's fine verses, beginning - To thy rock, stormy Lannow, adieu.   79 Which is, or was wont to be, the old air of »Good-night, and joy be wi' you a'!«   80 The main body of the Highland army encamped, or rather bivouacked, in that part of the King's Park which lies towards the village of Duddingston.   81 This circumstance, which is historical, as well as the description that precedes it, will remind the reader of the war of La Vendée, in which the royalists, consisting chiefly of insurgent peasantry, attached a prodigious and even superstitious interest to the possession of a piece of brass ordnance, which they called Maria Jeanne.
