To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But these memoirs of King James were destined to meet with one inquirer more. The late jNIr. Fox, having formed a serious design of writing a more faithful account than he conceived had as yet been given of the great era in our history, the Revolution in 1688, re- paired, as Mr. Macpherson had done, to Paris ; and the journal of King James was, of course, one of the objects which occupied his attention. The history of his researches is contained in Lord Hol- land's preface to Mr. Fox's posthumo...us work. From this it appears that there was deposited in the Scotch College, not only an original journal by King James, but a narrative compiled from it, either by the younger Dryden, or one of the superiors of the society ; and that it is the narrative from which extracts have been taken by Macpher- son, not the journal. Mr. Fox declared, in a private letter to Mr.
Laing, that he had made out that Macpherson never saw the journal.
And, on turning to Macpherson's introduction, the student will find, that, though this skilful artist leads his reader to suppose that he saw this journal and copied it, still that he nowhere exactly says that he ever did see it ; and his not having done so, and his wishing to be thought to have done so, have given rise to that want of simpUc- ity in his statement which we have already noticed, and of which the necessity in all such prefaces is thus rendered more than ever apparent.
