424 HisTOHY or England.
Such were the arts by which James introduced humanity and justice among a people who had ever been buried in the most profound barbarism. Noble cares ! much superior to the vain and criminal glory of conquests ; but requiring ages of perseverance and attention to perfect what had been so happily begun.
A laudable act of justice was about this time executed in England upon Lord Sanquhir, a Scottish nobleman, who had be...en guilty of the base assassination of Turner, a fencing mas- ter. The English nation, who were generally dissatisfied with the Scots, were enraged at this crime, equally mean and atro- cious ; but James appeased them, by preferring the severity of law to the intercession of the friends and family of the criminal.* * Kennet, p. 688.
