662 acknowledge the sentence of the High Commission. On giving security to banish himself from the kingdom before the ensuing Michaelmas, and not to return without the royal licence, he was released from prison. He accompanied Lord Cranstoun to Carlisle, where that nobleman presented a petition in his favour to the king ; but it was followed by no beneficial result. The subsequent application of Lord Cranstoun to the privy-council, and to the bishops, was attended with no better success. He lingered in Scotland, publishing a few tracts, till the 27th of August 1619, when he sailed for Holland. Where he chiefly resided in that country we are not informed, but Bishop Guthry states, that "in the time of his exile he had seen the wild follies of the English Brownists in Arnheim and Amsterdam," During his residence in Holland he pub lished various works, and, among the rest, his Altare Dam-.iscemtni. At one period his enemies supposed him to be dead ; and he has recorded a very extraordinary attempt to impose upon the world a recantation fabricated in his name. Calderwood appears to have returned to Scotland in 1624, and he was soon afterwards appointed minister of Pencaitland, in the county of Haddington. During the remainder of his life he continued to take an active part in the affairs of the church, and he introduced in 1649 the practice, now confirmed by long usage, of dissenting from the decision of the Assembly, and requiring the protest to be entered in the record. His last years were devoted to the preparation of a History of the Church of Scotland. In 1648 the General Assembly urged him to complete the vork he had designed, and voted him a yearly pension of 800. He left behind him an historical work of great extent and of great value, not indeed as a masterly composition, but as a storehouse of authentic materials for history. An abridgment, which appears to have been prepared by him self, was published after his death. An excellent edition of the complete work was published by the Wodrow Society, 8 vols. 1842-49. The manuscript, which belonged to General Calderwood Durham, was presented to the British Museum. A copy, transcribed under the inspection of Wodrow, is among the archives of the church ; another bslongs to the library of the university of Glasgow; and, as Dr M Crie has stated, " in the Advocates Library, besides a complete copy of that work, there is a folio volume of it, reaching to the end of the year 1572. It was written in 1634, and has a number of interlineations and marginal alterations, differing from the other copies, which, if not made by the author s own hand, were most probably done under his eye," Calderwood died at Jed- burgh on the 29th of October 1650, aged seventy-five. He appears to have been a man of unbending integrity, fearless in maintaining his opinions, and uniformly con sistent in his professions ; but as human virtues are never perfect, his decision of character had some tendency to deviate into that obstinacy from which good men are not always exempted.  CALEDONIA, used in general somewhat loosely to denote the of during the period of the  of, had originally a more restricted application. It is proposed in this article to give, from a as well as an  point of view, a brief account of what seems to have been known regarding it in ancient times. The word ' is first met with in the fourth book of Pliny's Historia Naturalis (circa ), where, in the very meagre notice of, the Caledonian (') is given as the northern boundary of the of. Its next appearance is in the Agricola of Tacitus Here, both in the brief  description of, chaps. x. and xi., and in the account of 's campaigns, chaps. xxv.–xxxviii., Caledonia is unquestionably north of the. On turning to the  (circa ), we fail to meet with the term except as the name of one of the many s among which he has parcelled out the &ldquo;, .&rdquo; To explain this it is not necessary to assume that  was ignorant of the wider acceptation in which Caledonia had recently come to be employed among the. It is more reasonable to suppose that, as he avowedly drew the materials for his tables from earlier, chiefly from sources, he judged it prudent to follow in the main long-recognized authorities. Yet even in we have an indication either of the importance of the Caledonians among their neighbours or of the occasional use of the word as a general name for all the northern s. Twice he gives the Deucaledonian Ocean as bounding  on the north, that is, after the necessary correction for his mistake in making the whole of the  of  trend to the east instead of to the north, as washing the  of modern  on the west. Confused and inaccurate in some respects as the 's tables are, they, notwithstanding, contain a surprising amount of information regarding the leading features of the  of, the correctness of much of which can be verified by existing names. His account of the s and their s, especially towards the north, is, as might have been expected, much less definite and trustworthy. In order to be able to give here some notice of the  of, Caledonia may for the moment be regarded as a synonymous term. 's error in turning the of to the east has already been noticed. How he was led into it there are no means of determining. One effect of it is to exaggerate greatly the length of the and displace the  from their true position, as may be seen by referring to certain maps appended to several MSS. of the Geography and given with some editions of it. The error can easily be rectified; and when this is done the outline of the will be found to be wonderfully correct. Commencing with the of the Noouantai  in the south-west and proceeding northwards along the s of the Deucaledonian Ocean, we have in succession the Bay of Rerigonios, the Bay of Ouindogara, the estuary of the Klota , the Bay of Lelaamnonios , Cape Epidion , the outlets of the River Longus (?), outlets of the River Ituos, Bay of Ouolsas (?), outlets of the River Nabaios, and Cape Tarouedoum or Orkas. Coming down the east coast, said to be washed by the, we find Cape Ouirouedroum , Cape Oueroubium (?), the outlets of the River Ila, the High Bank, outlets of the River Loxa, estuary of the Ouarar , of the Touaisis (?), outlets of the River Kelnios (?), the  of the Taizalai , outlets of the River Deoua ,  of the Taoua , outlets of the River Tina,  of the Boderia , outlets of the River Alaunos, outlets of the River Ouedra (?). On the south, bounded by the Hibernian Ocean, we have the of the Noouantai (the ), outlets of the River Abraouannos (?),  of the lena (?),  of the Deoua, outlets of the River Noouios , outlets of the Itouna. The is represented as inhabited by the following
