(") The patent is not enrolled, hut is quoted iu " Douglas," vol. ii, p. 686, from the orig. in the possession of the then Earl of Hyndford. It is there, however, added that the patent of 27 Dec. 1647, "according to the list of creations in the Lovat case" was to the " heirs male of the body.' ' (>') The Barony of Carmicbael, cr. 1617 and ratilied 1651, "was not at any time resigned. Whatever construction be put upon the grant of the Earldom, the heir male is certainly entitled to the dignity of Lord Carmichael under the letters patent of 1651." See " Hewlett," p. 48. (") Lord Clarendon says of him that tho' " before the war he seemed to be wholly delighted with hunting, hawking and the like, after the troubles began he wholly gave himself up to the office and duty of a soldier, no man move diligently obliging or more dextrously commanding, for he was not only of a very keen courage, but an excellent discerner and pursuer of advantage upon his enemy. He had a mind and understanding very present in the article of danger ; was a great lover of justice and practised it then most deliberately when he had power to do wrong. By his death the King found a sensible weakness iu his army." See, ante, vol. 1, p. 194, note "c " for "the Loyalists' Bloody Roll," iu which ho is included.
