_Robertson Struan_ (Vol. iii., p. 40.).--As one of those who quarter the
coat of Robertson Struan, I may perhaps be able to afford C.R.M. some
slight information. My maternal grandfather was a son of William Robertson,
of Richmond, one of whose daughters married Sir David Dundas, Bart. The
arms borne by him were, Gules, three wolves' heads erased, langued, azure.

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.
The landing of Charles Edward Stuart, and the "Seven Men of Moidart," on
the memorable 25th July, 1745, was the opening of the last, and, in many
respects, the most brilliant and stirring chapter in the Romance of English
History. That Mr. Murray has therefore done wisely in the publication, in a
separate form, of _The Forty-Five: by Lord Mahon, being the Narrative of
the Insurrection of 1745, extracted from Lord Mahon's History of England_,
there can be little doubt.
