Instead of the sharp acclivity which rose up to a point from each side of the river, the road over the Clyde is now as level as that of Waterloo-bridge in London. On the further side, too, where the body of the insurgents were once mustered, "grove'' now "nods 288 CHRIST'S CROWN AND COVENANT.
on grove, " round the beautiful entrance to Hamilton-park, in all the plentifulness of ornamental plantations. But I checked myself by remembering the Frenchman's definition of a tory, that he was one who,... if he had been living at the creation, would have said, " Let chaos be, " and I endeavored to discover what might render these egregious improvements less distressing. When I expressed iny disappointment to the toll-keeper, he forthwith took me to a point whence I perceived that, though on one side the bridge was much changed, the other side was yet unaltered. One looks with deep interest on those buttresses, now gray with age, and partially overgrown with grass and low shrubs, as one thinks that they were the very objects on which the eyes of the covenanters and their persecutors had alike rested ; that Hamilton, Burley and Hack- stone, on the one side, and Monmouth, Dalzell and Claverhouse, on the other, had manoauvred in view of them ; that here the deadly battle had raged ; and that the river which flowed beneath that bridge in 1679 poured its tide along as deep and rapid as it does to-day, though then it bore with it gallant bodies, and ran red with the blood of the slain.
