Excerpt from Sir William Wallace
'The ignorance of some otherwise well-informed persons respecting the claims of Wallace as a national patriot, ' wrote Dr. Charles Rogers, 'is deplorable.'
The documentary authorities are, indeed, fragmentary, and exceptionally perplexing. Some are clearly trustworthy; many are conflicting, dissimulatory, falsified, false, biassed in all degrees, and full of inference and hearsay set forth in the guise of indubitable fact. The researches of English historians - even when they happen to be Scotsmen - have not yet rendered further investigation superfluous.
The fact is, that a large critical undertaking must form the basis of any adequate account of Wallace. In a brief narrative the writer must resign himself to the simple if somewhat perilous course of telling his story as it has shaped itself in his mind during perusal of the available authorities, with but occasional and slight indications of the shaping process.
The noble poem of Blind Harry, thanks largely to the ingenium perfervidum of the minstrel himself, has been much - we may say wholly - discredited as history. Harry has been very cavalierly dealt with, however; it is more by a grin than otherwise that he has been vanquished.
