THE JACOBITE REVIVAL.\\That has been sometimes termed thesentimental revival of Jacobitisill,Le., the modern Jacobite movement,may be said to date from WhiteRose Day (10th June), 1886, whenthe Order of the White Rose wasfounded, hy the descendants (inmany cases) of those who upheld the"tualt Canse in the '15 and '45. Al­thollgh the movement was, and stillis, an absolute enigma to the lullet­tored, selfish, and shallow mOll andwomen of the age, it has neverthc·less had fa,·-reaehing and beneficial,·esults. Wc claim for the JacobiteJllO\'Clncnt (and the present writerhas heen associated with it for 20years) that.in educated circles it hasahsolntely revolutionised the tradi­tional Yiew of the 8tna1'ts. ThemoY(~mcnt has also ill another direc­tion very Heady succeeded in restor·ing Clial'les I. to his propel' plaeein the Church of England. Themodern cultus of King Charles(yearly increasing in force) may besaid to date from January, 1886,when Dr. F. G. Lcc, a sturdy andconsistent Jacobitp, held a servicc atA\1l Saints, Lambeth, and again in1890. when services for King Charlesthe _Ital'ty" we,.e celebrated at St.::.\Ial·gal'et Pattens, London. Thiswas followed by the annual decora­tion of the King's statue at CharingCross, the revival of services inmany Churches in Bngland, and aliterary campaign setting forth our)Iartyl'cd King's cmincnt services toChurch and State. It is interestingto 110te that many people not con­IH>C'tC'd with the Jacobite movementhaw' been influenced largely by thi:-;revival. As we said before, theJacobite movement has revolution­ised educated opinion on the subjectof the Stual'ts. But there arc num­bers of othel' people who have notstudied model'n historical thought,and tlws0 arc still in darkness. How·l"VC1'J the lig'llt is breaking', and theday is da wni ng.

It is not too much to say that withrcgard to t he traditional 'Vlug viewof histOl')', ((the whole structure hasbeen lcyelled with the ground.' J

Anyone who has read the historicalreyiews appearing from time to timeIII the "Spectator" will realise this.

Lady Dorothy Keville records thathe,· uncle, Lord Oxford, a descend­ant of Si,o Robert Walpole, thatstaunch supporter of the Hanover­ians and of the Protestant succes­sion, becanl.e a Roman Catholic andardent J acobite, collecting manyvaluable relics of the exiled Stuarts.

It is indeed significant that no onehas studied Jacobite history; with­out catching somcthing of its en­thusiasm. The Jacobitcs are identi­ficd with all the nohler aspects ofwhat is tcrmed Uthe age of chiv­airy." Thosc Royalists who diedon the battlefields of Killiecrankie,Shcl'ift'muir, oJ' Culloden, who per­ished on the scaffold, 01' died heart­broken ill foreig'n ]ands~died forthe right-about that there can heno question.

The duty of every Jacohite worthyof the name is to spl·ead abroad thesentiments and 1raditions of ourparty, to still further expose thegreat 'Vhig conspi l'acy of 1688, undthe following years of persecutionand confusion.

We beliC\"e that ewntually theprinciples of 1he Jaeobites will betriumphant, '1'he stone which thebuilders rejected in 1688 (the prin­ciple of hereditary monarchy) shallagain become the head-corner stone.

In the words of Sir.WaIter Scott:

"Though l'ccht be oft put down bystrength,

As mallY :t day wc saw tha';The- t nlC :llHl lcnlfn cnllse at IcngthJ

Shnll benl' the grie for nIl tha'."

A STAUNCH OLD JACOBITE.

DA YID LOW, mSIIOP OF ARGYLAND ROSS.

Our gl'atitud0 to all who have diedfor our cause is immeasurable, normust wc overlook our indebtednessto those who, in the early and mid­years of Jast eentllry, kept the lampof loyalty aglow amidst the encircl­ing gloom of indifference. In thelattcl' category a high place must beacro,·cled to David Low, Bishop ofAl'gyl and RossJ who died in 1855~ .th(' Jast cle]'g:,,"'man who, in his offi-

cial capacity, acted upon scruples inbehalf of the Royal House of "tuart.,,~c were fortunate enough to secnrethrough ~1r. Jas.

Blateh.David Low ,ras born at Brechill in1768 of Jacobite stock, and ,,·henonly 19 yeal·S of age was ordainedDeacon and placed in charge of theold nonjllriug congregation of Pe-10th."His mind was em.iilently buoyantand youthful

JIJ says one who knew

tue good Bishop' in his later years,11 and h.i~ memory was a fount of themost interesting historical informa­tion, especially in eonnection withthe Jaeohite and Cavalier party, towhich he belonged by early associa­tion and strong political preclilec­tion. Born and br<:'d in a districtprC'-cminently at that time de"otcdto the cause of the Stua1't8J and hav­ing liycd much from time to time inhis early years in tIll' \Vestern High­lands alllong the Stual'1s of Balach­cl ish and Appin, he bad enjoyedfamilial' intercourse with~ the vet­erans of 1715 and 1745, and detailedthe minutest events of those timeswith a freshness and gTaphic' forc~

which afforded infinite delight to hisyoungcr anc1itol's. Nor was his tra­ditional IUlOwledge limited to the18th century; it extended to the,,-ars of Clavcrhousl' and ~iontl'ose.

The most valuable of these traditionswere collected and embodied byRoht. Chambers in his histories ofthe Rehellions." Bishop Lo,,-'s deathse"erec1 lWI'haps t he last direet linkwith the historic past, and it wonldbe interesting to know if therc isanyone now HYing ,,-ho remembersthis staunch old Jacobite.

Theliterature of the '45, fol' instance,is enormous. 'rho late DrummondNodc's "uife of Prince Charles Ed­,,-al'cl," is easily fil'st, but the price,£5 for foUl' yolumes, plaees it beyondthe reach of most of llS. Of smallerbiogl'apllics, Professor C. S.
