FOOTNOTES:
[148] In manuscript.
[149] From a copy made from the original manuscript at Copenhagen,
and more perfect than that obtained by Dean Krag. The thanks of the
author are due in this respect to Mr. J. F. R. Krarup, Registrar of
the Danish State Archives, as well as to Messrs. Herbst and Blom of
Copenhagen for researches undertaken at the kind request of Professor
George Stephens, LL.D., also of Copenhagen. Most of the proper names
in this translation have been modernized.
[150] These documents have not hitherto been found in the Danish
Archives.
[151] No mention of James Scott, who was among the prisoners at
Copenhagen.
[152] This translation has been made from a more perfect copy than
the one hitherto published, and for which the author is indebted to
Mr. M. Birkeland, Keeper of the State Archives in Norway.
[153] No doubt Colonel Andrew Ramsay.
[154] The dots show where words are wanting, because a piece of paper
(which was the upper part of that to which the seals were affixed) is
lost from the third page.
