THE scorrIsH HISTORICAL REVIEW.

Mr. Walter Seton completes the story of the Scottish Regalia which were hidden during Cromwell's occupation of Scotland and brought out again at the Restoration. It seems that Keith, the Earl Marshal, and Ogilvie, the defender of Dun- nottar, where the regalia were first hidden, would not have succeeded in saving them but for James Granger and his wife, who took the Crown jewels from the castle and concealed them elsewhere. At the Restoration, however, the Kciths tried to claim the sole credit for the transaction. Mr. D. B. Smith prints a delightful letter from a midshipman, Colin Campbell, who was at Trafalgar in the 'Defiance.'
