The public assertion of his rights, his promise f a just government, and the brilliant qualities of his person, soon athered around him a little army, with which he immediately took le field. His first exploits were the capture of Edinburgh and the >tal orerthrow of four thousand Englishmen at Prestonpans; he then roceeded into England, took the city of Carlisle, and advanced as ur as Derby, within eighty or ninety miles of London, when the pproach of the duke of Cumberland at the head of super...ior forces bliged him to retreat with some disadvantage, though in good order. *he victory of Falkirk, which he gained in January, 1746, revived is hopes; but his subsequent defeat at Culloden blasted them for rer. Being now destitute of money and troops, without any sure sylum, constantly pursued by his enemies, always in danger of fall- ig into their hands, and of ending his career upon a scaffold, want- \g food and garments, wandering from place to place and from avern to cavern, he exhausted, as it were, all the rigors of misfor- ine, and endured them with so heroic fortitude^ as to gain the admi- ition of the whole world.
