PETRUCCIO UBALDINI, the compiler of the following Description of Scotland, and her adjacent Isles, was born at Florence about the year 1524. Although descended from one of the most ancient, and allied to many of the most powerful families of Italy, he was, early in life, under the necessity of abandoning his native country, in consequence, as has been supposed, of the liberality of his religious opinions. He repaired to England, and engaged in the service of Edward the Sixth, a zealous opponent of the Court of Rome. Upon the death of this young Prince in 1553, Ubaldini returned to Italy, and resided for some time at Venice, where he occupied himself with a translation of Cebes, which he dedicated to the Grand Duke Cosmo the First. This work was never published, and is still preserved among the Manuscripts in the Laurentian Library at Florence. Ubaldini afterwards returned to England, where he appears to have spent the remainder of his life, and to have enjoyed a considerable share of favour in the Court of Elizabeth. He died towards the close of the sixteenth century.
